Even with WinPE driver integration disabled and Windows 10 ISO which I know works, still no USB drivers...
@George King My bad, it's not an XP2ESD problem. Looks like my PC's USB doesn't even work with latest Windows 10 x86, only x64. Can I use x64 ISO in XP2ESD?
Yes, you can use x64 ISOs too (of course see supported Windows versions, unsupported can be added on request). XP boots without any issues with Windows 10 x64 bootmgr
WinPE languages are integrated on missing instal.wim vs boot.wim conditions automatically. This will be investigated in future in POWIS directly as it needs to be updated too with new things that was developed in XP2ESD. I made all these things to bring perfect Multi Language and Multi System AIO ISO. I'm using currently one USB to deploy XP to 11 Only RunOnceEx needs some small touch to bring OS limits for installers. I have already added some code, but this needs to be tested a lot
@George King Under XP, the version XP2ESD_v1.6_preview3 works after second run. Under win7 SP1 XP2ESD_v1.6_preview3 also needs a second run. Now second run with the new XP2ESD_v1.6 does not work under XP any more. Dietmar EDIT: Now I make a try under Win7 SP1 with the new XP2ESD_v1.6.
@ExtremeGrief Just add Server 2003 ISO into repository folder (CD1 only, conversion doesn’t work on R2)
I will try it myself too on XP / 7 English hosts. I don’t expect any issue on 7+. I prefer building images on 10.
@George King The same as before with XP2ESD_v1.6_preview3. Also under under Win7 Sp1 comes after Rufus the message, that Setup cant find ESD. Before, this error could be solved easy with a second run, now not, because the whole process is complete repeated. With XP2ESD_v1.6_preview3 the Setup procedure makes use of the already builded files, now all starts from beginning. A quick check for this behavior "ESD missing" are the 2 missing files in _output\boot de-de\bootmgr.exe.mui de-de\memtest.exe.mui Dietmar
@George King In the Auto-Sysprep stage, virtualbox refuses to run prompting "access denied" on the command prompt and skips through the next step that is supposed to happen after the installation trying to make a VHD of a non-existing installation. My host is Windows 11 Pro 64. I tried to do this with 64 bit win 7 and 10 isos and 64 bit xp iso. I tried to repeat this with only windows 10 64 bit iso and xp 64 iso to make the necessary installers but virtualbox refuses to run. I know you probably said earlier that XP2ESD 1.6 has problems on win 11 host but before on 1.5.6 I could run virtualbox from the command prompt even on win 11. And yes I have tried to run as Administrator, still the same problem. The first time on XP2ESD 1.6 it told me about not enough space so I had to free spaces but even tho there's no more space warnings It could go a little further on the XP2ESD console until it tried to launch virtualbox on the auto-sysprep stage but it prompted me access denied (in VirtualBox, it created the virtual machine but I had to open it manually on VirtualBox), but the problem is that it didn't halt and instead skipped to capture VHD step. Even if I tried to install the os from the integrated iso manually on VirtualBox, the 2nd GUI stage of XP installation took way too long, so I had to cancel the xp installation.
@UsefulAGKHelper Any screenshots please (or console output + log folder)? It should be OK on Windows 11, @nlgxzef builded XP2ESD image under 11 as far as I know.
