About driver installation:
Every driver added in NT6.x windows will be added to the driver store.
So it’s not recommended to add countless driver, but rather more really required ones.
NT5.x massstorage driver integration is possible thanks to Mr dUSHA powerful MSSTMake.exe tool
To the Unattend option:It’s possible to use an unattend.xml to run the Setup unattended.
But as the actual WinPE Setup Phase isn’t effective in that way of install, all Winpe related settings inside the unattend.xml
won’t be applied.
Ini config fileIt’s possible to save all GUI-settings to a ini file:
push Ctrl + S to save all settings to an ini.
push Ctrl + L to load all settings from an ini.
A WinNTSetup.ini file in the same dir as the app itself will be loaded automatically at startup.
It also can be selected via command line:
WinNTSetup.exe /cfg:”C:\mysettings.ini”
If you want to modify ini settings yourself, click-click has made a nice PDF for it.
For advanced users there are also hidden settings described in the included WinNTSetup.ini.txt
Command line:
- Press F1 to get list of all options
To install Windows in a VHD file:- requires Windows 7 as OS and Windows 7 Ultimate, Enterprise or Server 2008 R2 as Source
- create a partitioned VHD and assign a drive letter (push Ctrl + Shift + V to use build in diskpart wrapper for this)
- select the VHD drive as installation drive (make sure you boot drive ist a active primary partition on a physical disk)

And it shouldn’t be dedicated to “USB only”, if I am not mistaken.
Let’s hope that whoever tests it will be so kind as to (please read as “anyone testing it please do”) provide - for the benefit of the less expereinced users - some details on the various available options, and their usage.
Usual bothering request to the developer :
- Any chance that it will ever support command line? (or provide a pre-set in the form of a .ini file?)
