    Edition / SKU is not important in these inputs. I just tested that link and it works without issues here.

    In first place trying to support all supported In-place upgrade scenarios from Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 to themselves, and in second place to have a starting point to implement those not officially supported (e.g. client to server, x86 to amd64, ...)

    Well I have been away from this project for few weeks due lack of time in real work. But I can tell 1.6.3 is cancelled and it became 1.7 as changelog is bigger than 1.6 release :D

    I have few unresolved bugs reported by users with testing ISO, but I'm close to solve all of them.

    From big things that must be done there is only one - fix all RES for 38 languages for great polished UI in installer :)

    Also 2003 UpdatePacks are almost ready, @MilkChan greatly contributed in this way. When I build all languages we need to retest them again to be sure they are OK as there is really huge amount of manual work on each language. But we are close to have 2003 packs as FINAL :)

    In XP2ESD's setup.cmd file, the boot partition can be successfully hidden much easier with Bootice inside XP2ESD's boot.wim (in boot.wim's \Windows\system32 directory):
    Code:
    if /i "%BootPartition%" == "Yes" (
    bootice /DEVICE=U: /partitions /hide /quiet >nul
    )
    Ensure that this is added after all the changes In the U: partition to avoid errors.

    OK i was able to create the WinXP_AIO_ESD.iso

    When i boot the usb iso made with rufus (mbr/bios) on physical Zotac pc N2087 bay trail i get this message: setup cant detect esd/wim/swm file in source folder of setup media.(missing driver)

    Instead if using w7+w10 iso should i use w8+w10 iso or just w10 iso ?

    Hi George,

    About in-place upgrade paths, it is a question of completeness in engineering. Or said in other words how to finish the engineering job without being stopped by marketing /sales short term objectives curated from any sustainability awareness. This still could be fixed, at least for NT 5.1/5.2 and ReactOS could be the delivery vehicle within a few years. Backporting key technologies like DISM provider architecture could help.

    About legacyupdate.net it is somehow the same spirit according to sustainability, where forbidden planned obsolescence and right to repair are basic concepts/values. If Windows Update is dead, long life to legacyupdate.net and why not to integrate it with UpdatePacks (I mean using a common package management technology for both offline and online updates management)?
