i have the following problem with a german x86 windows 7 ultimate: === 7Customizer Started=== 7Customizer verion: 0.2.3 OS: Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7600.0 OS architecture: x86 Work folder found: True Mount folder found: True Extract utility found: True Configuration file found: True Getting drive info Free space: 51,2697715759277 GB Getting drive info: Done Saved Imagex path: C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\imagex.exe Saved DISM path: C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\Servicing\Dism.exe Dism Path Selected Dism Path: C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\Servicing\Dism.exe Windows source path selected Sources folder found install.wim found install.wim size: 1966 MB Testing imagex Imagex result begin: ImageX Tool for Windows Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp.

ok vers. 0.2.3 did the trick. unattended worked as expected. no extra configuration needed. great software !! thx

my bad .. i got here via a german site which had WinSetupFromUSB_0-1-1 on the original thread it's Latest - vers. 0.2.3 - 06.July.2009 i will try it with the new version ;-) thx

ok prior to reading this thread, i tried to merge my winnt.sif (unattended) with the winnt.sif which is created by the program. i have exactly the issues described above. here (http://www.msfn.org/board/install-usb-winsetupfromusb-gui-t120444.html) in the first post it is mentioned that presetup.cmd is taking care of this problem. however i can't find any indication regarding the unattend issue. my presetup.cmd looks like this: SET TAGFILE=\$WIN_NT$.~LS FOR %%h IN (U D M N O P Q R S T V W X Y) DO IF EXIST "%%h:%TAGFILE%" SET CDDRIVE=%%h: if "%CDDRIVE%" == "" ( FOR %%h IN (C E F G H I J K L) DO IF EXIST "%%h:%TAGFILE%" SET CDDRIVE=%%h: ) REM ===========Added by WinSetupFromUSB============ IF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\setupold.exe DEL /F %systemroot%\system32\setupold.exe IF EXIST c:\boot.003 DEL /F c:\boot.003 REM ====================END======================= EXIT so here is my question: since i cannot use the [unattended] section in winnt.sif, where can i specify those values, settings, etc. ?? any hint? thx
