7Customizer - a Windows 7 Customization and Deployment tool

[myselfidem]

Thank you myselfidem

I'll give a try later

Have a nice WE

Thanks coucou!

About the batch files installed inside "C:\7Customizer_0.4.4\work"!

These batch files are created by 7Customizer when you have made your customizations and you launch the program.

You can't modify these files because 7Customizer is "running"!

These commands are used to integrate: updates, language packs, themes, wallpapers, tweaks, etc.

If you want add some reg files, for your unattended installation, you can use "SetupComplete.cmd" inside the folder "SCRIPTS", after you've made the $OEM$ folders.

Have a nice WE.

Hi coucou!

I've tried to merge two batch files for 7Custom.cmd to export and save only one Windows 7 Image: Windows 7 ULTIMATE x86 or x64 using "7Customizer_0.4.4"!

I've found some help here:

plateform x86. x64. ia64

Works now with computer 32-bits or 64-bits!

I've tried successfuly on my computers x86 and x64 (amd64)!

I've spend some times, but now it is done:

7Custom_X86_X64_EN.cmd

@echo off
Title Backup Image Windows 7 ULTIMATE
echo.
REM   Batch file for 7Customizer_0.4.4
REM   This file can be used on a computer 32-bits or 64-bits
REM   Deleting Images WIM files unnecessary. 
REM   To adapt to your needs: example  => Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bits: index:5 
REM                                    => Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bits: index:4 
REM   Only one Image will be saved:    => Windows 7 Ultimate now with an new index:1
REM   And for the Image boot.wim 2:    => boot.wim 1 
REM   Rename to your needs the folder name (ex: Win7) and his location (C:\; D:\; H:\, etc.)
echo.

*Edit

Notice:

You can keep these files if you want (desactivate), just add REM at the begenin of the lines:

Be carefull, they are writed twice (sections x86 and x64)!!

REM  DEL /S /F /Q "c:\Win7\boot\fonts\chs_boot.ttf"
REM  DEL /S /F /Q "c:\Win7\boot\fonts\cht_boot.ttf"
REM  DEL /S /F /Q "c:\Win7\boot\fonts\jpn_boot.ttf"  (neccessary for Office 2010)
REM  DEL /S /F /Q "c:\Win7\boot\fonts\kor_boot.ttf" 

I've made in English and in French languages!

Dowmload here (ready to use) and 7Customizer French guide updated:

Batchs_7C.zip

The color's letters inside "7Custom_X86_X64_EN.cmd" is GREEN for X86; and YELLOW for X64!

I hope that can give some help!

Nice WE.

*EDIT:

I've fixed an error inside: "7Custom_X64.cmd". Index is index:4 (for Windows 7 64-bits)

New "Batchs_7C.zip" inside the folder '7Customizer', on MediaFire:

Hi,

Regarding the addons I've already downloaded some from here (.wa files) and others from here (.exe files)

Regards

Hi coucou!

About Addons.

I've made some search and I've tried Windows 7 Toolkit. You must be member to download the software!

It's only with English language!

It's really a nice software, like an "American knife" (like Swiss knife, I mean!) made by Legolash2o.

I've tried the last one, version 0.7.0.50 on my Computer Windows 7 Ultimate. I've used "W7T" - at last -! after applying updates, language packs and tweaks with 7Customizer.

All works fine and the addons successfuly integrated!

I've integrated French Addons (I've an French Windows 7) and I've made an ISO file with Windows 7 Toolkit! Works perfectly!

I've tried also the version 0.5.0.42 Alpha (W7TAlpha.msi), it was successfuly, but I've found some problems (dont use at first because after it's impossible to "mount" the Image)!!

But the ISO file created with 7Customizer, at the first test and using correctly W7TAlpha.msi, works perfectly, also!!

And if you want to mount a new time your Image with 7Customizer: Uninstall W7T 0.5.0.42 Alpha.

*Its' just an advice: don't integrate "Ux_Theme_Patch_1.1.wa (French addon), don't work!

It will be not integrated, but the installation is OK for Windows!

I will made a new tutorial for Windows 7 Toolkit, I think.

Regards

Thanks for the good feedback, however you no longer have to be a member to download it, you should try the new 0.8.0.20 Beta, it already has over 80 changes, including component removal

Many thanks Legolash2o!

I will try the new version and if it's possible can I translate in French language your nice program?

I prob won't be doing translation until v1.0.0 (no promises). I just have not figured out an efficient way of translating it yet (code). Any other requests or suggestions are welcome.

Hello Blue, just tried your little program out and worked a treat, good job and thanks!

There is some things i would add to your program though so then windows does not have to be touched after install at all as i have to go through this process every time i have formatted.

• Line amount on taskbar so it can be set to 2 lines for example for full view of clock
  
• Always show all icons for notifications
  
• Search all programs and control panel (its missing from your options)
  
• Admin tools for start menu (missing too)
  
• Small icons on desktop
  
• Theres no info for tcp/ipv4 network properties for when i disable dhcp and dns services, also would need to disable register dns and disable netbios in advanced options. Plus would be nice to also be able to choose network selection to choose private for example.
  
• Disable experience program for if you choose in 'Protect your PC: Recommended'.
  
• Prefetch boot only
  
• Disk defrag schedule disable
  
• Power options to high performance plus settings within
  
• Autoplay disable
  
• C drive properties not to have indexed ticked
  
• Action center asks security center service to be on when disabled so would be nice to disable that too
  
• Problem report settings on/off
  
• \Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp
  and
  \windows\temp
  have files not cleaned after install
  
• Task scheduler items to disable
  
• Show disconnected devices in device manager
  

And erm, i think thats round about it

@blue4603 it's possible to make this application to do a multi-edition of windows 7?? It will be great if you can do this...

Normaly, you know very well, W7 becomes multi-edition if we delete ei.cfg. From the 1st pass 7customizer ask for chose what version we want to customize.

And 2nd question, can you make some option to delete from themes and wallpapers tabs, unwanted files.

Thx
