I performed few test last days and Launcher seems stable and usable for my scenarios. Now it's time to make it translatable to make it more perfect before release. Needed strings for translators will be available soon
I followed the instructions, but I just get a "install.wim missing" error when trying to run XP2ESD_Builder.cmd. Any tips? edit: Ok, didn't recognize my WinXP ISO, works now.
Seems possible, we have now working BTRFS driver + NTFS2BTRFS for WinPE and XP, thanks to @CaptainKirk1966. Now it's needed to rewrite current Quibble installation method for all Windows version. Then if we can boot Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / 11 under UEFI without any problem with Quibble, then we can request 32bit boot from 64 UEFI. In past there was same reguest. I think if I create great solution to install Quibble and all necessary steps during deploying, then we have half way from request done
I know that you are kinda making this project to work booting off an usb as an aio. But it would be cool if you could make the iso file "Ventoy compatible". So this can be booted from a Ventoy usb. The 1.5.6 wont work from Ventoy.
Sorry, my projects can’t be Ventoy compatible. It’s impossible - creating Ventoy compatible ISO is only for stupid not dynamic ISO (Like MS). What benefits do you see for various Windows installations?
Today news: 1) Most of 32bit ported drivers was modded again to get standalone drivers compatible with both XP (5.1) and 2003 (5.2) they both need different Kernel extender due different kernel exports between 5.1 and 5.2. 64bit drivers are only 5.2 so there is no need to mod them again (hopefully) 2) I found another PAE patch for 32bit Windows supporting Windows XP - Windows 10 (not latest builds, but like to 2018. I think these patches can be adapted a source sode is available on GitHub) 3) Huge test discovered JNP and KOR UpdatePacks are broken (win32k.sys BSOD). Tool work great without them - I have no idea what's wrong - I will investigate it in future 4) Server Enterprise 2003 VL -> XP Professional 2003 VL conversion seems possible in few steps now. I will add some optional switch to build it 5) New version must be released in first half of April, time flies and it's close to year from latest public version and many changes were done so It's time to publish it and continue with other projects (Vista2ESD / Seven2ESD most of things are done, but time is enemy)
Today news 1) Driver collection was updated again with newer storport.sys 2) New drivers collection have problems with MSSTMAKE, so I added manual fix (Problems are caused by files copy section that is not handled correctly by MSSTMAKE) 3) GPT Addon is finished - disk.sys + partmgr.sys + crcdisk.sys + disk.inf is used from Server 2003 on XP to get GPT support - I don't know if it really works 4) winlogon.exe xdelta patches are finished. This patch support only latest possible version 5.1.2600.6443 (KB2878379) and 5.2.3790.3959 (SP2). I'm not going to investigate it more. It's enough to have patch for latest version 5) Various localizable names are still problems. This was discovered during processing all 18 Server 2003 Enterprise ISOs I'm trying to remember what else must be finished before release.. Any ideas? EDIT: Some small OOBE things must be done in neweula.htm and reg1.htm
