HI FanE46, upcoming version is focused on multilanguage compatibility. And I tested it on all existing 131 XP SP3 sources. Yes, you are right, Administrator Account name and more Home editions related bugs was already fixed for v1.6. New version should released soon.
I saw your message that you're not interested in Vista setup engine later. My bad. But really if we can't get rid of this partition we can just add bootmgr support.
I have tested twice your ISO you mentioned before, when you encountered this problem as we discussed before. With upcoming version I don't see any problem. Simply just wait until I release 1.6 EDIT: What do you talking about with bootmgr support? We can use winload.exe, which is already part and it's option in config.ini. This can solve this problem, but it cannot properly install HALs and it generates more problems than is limitation to install on first partition at selected HDD. I'm totaly fine with tested solutions I wrote in previous posts. And best option I will write soon with update will be "Use Windows 7 + Windows 10 1507" to get 100% working XP2ESD ISO. There is no reason to dig more when we have tested stable solution.
I'm talking about booting Windows XP via both NTLDR and BOOTMGR. First BOOTMGR will recognize NTLDR then system will boot.
I’m not sure If you opened and saw code in setup.cmd. Please do it now I hope it´s well commented. Thats what it does before reboot. If it doesn’t work for you now I told you few posts back - “wait for 1.6” and stop finding solutions that are already there, you are wasting your time. If you encounter same error in future then we can continue in this discussion.
By testing with Trad. Chinese version XP Pro, I found the update packs would not be integrated. (OnePiece Windows XP Post-SP3 UpdatePack v1.0.9 FINAL CHT & OnePiece Embedded Addon) And the initial setup dialog fonts could not show correctly. However, it is very powerful and easy to use. Thank you.
Windows Setup merging feature will be introduced in next POWIS version. My goal is to make perfect AIO XP - 11 ISO for USB. Don't worry I have fixed all update packs, more than half of 24 packs needed some touch. XP2ESD v1.6 will be released soon, and UpdatePacks too. I need to polish some things before public release. Many things were fixed and improved and specially IME OOBE compatibility on Chinese ISOs.
Sorry, 64bit XP / 2003 cannot be supported. Only idea is converting 2003 into workstation with native 4GB RAM support. Why would you want to use XP x64?
After I finish all things. Hopefully in a week. I'm busy with UpdatePack right now as I want to release and upload every needed package revised and tested.
