FAQ said:

Will BuClean Studio Be aviable in other languages than English
The Studio in its architecture of BuClean is built with multilingual in mind and we are looking forward for contributes to make BuClean translated to other languages. However the 32-bit can work on 64bit computers with-out any problems.
If you would like to translate it, then please email me or PM on this forum MSFN

How to report bugs?
Bugs normally will be fixed after 2 working days of date of reporting. Bugs should be sent to the Leader of the Team On email or on this thread.
Note: You must provide a descriptive notes about the error or attach a snapshot and log file. Please also take in mind removing the product key and any personal information from unattend.xml.

Does BuClean supports Windows XP?
No, it is not supported by default. However you may send us a private message about that issue, because we might think about writing an edition for that reason

Do I need to search for Dism.exe?
No. We has solved that problem and enhanced the Studio with a toolkit to look for the Dism.exe by itself. Without a messagebox

Will you think about giving up Imagex.exe?
Yes, We are really contacting some people to give us an advice about how to use the APIs of Imagex in a fast way. Because Imagex.exe is faster than its APIs We have tested that.

CURRENT TASKS said:

Faster performance Done
Using Imagex APIs instead of Imagex.exe (if we find a way to make it faster)
Removing Components

[MagicAndre1981]

it complains about missing WAIK, but I have it installed to C:\Program Files\Windows AIK and your tool only allows me to select folder from C.\Program files (x86)

[Ekttob]

Could you please attach a screenshot.
Alternatively, You can try to use the manually search for the ImageX and OSDIMG. This should work

Now it has been fixed and you can redownload it.

Also when you say you are the Team Leader, does that mean that you are not the coder?
