    I've decided to experiment with having some sort of development cycle. This will give me an aim to do for the day and let you know what to expect at each nightly build. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. New FeaturesThe focus of these releases will be to add as many features as possible for you guys to test. Wednesday and Saturday EnhancementsThese releases will take feedback and put them into practice. This includes bug fixes and improving upon existing features, or just improving some code. Sunday TranslationThe en-US template will be updated so any new features will be translatable. Note: I'm tempted to move translations to the 'Enhancement' days. Automa…

    Today I've been experimenting with cleaning up WinSXS. As you may know every month I create new ISOs, however I've noticed the size for an x64 image goes to about 17.5GB with all 500+ updates installed. I've successfully managed to cleanup WinSXS to reduce the install back to 11GB! The best news is that it boots and installed successfully without a single error Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try yet to reduce an image size? Any software you can suggest I install to see if it works? Any other test? At the minute it's just an extra exe which I point to the a mount path and it just automatically does its things. EDIT: Windows update did prompt 3 tiny update…

  9. In case you didn't know, I've been drafting up my proposal to finally work on a new Wintoolkit v2 as my final year project at university. It will be EPIC. I've received feedback and made changes to my proposal, just awaiting for further feedback. Once that is done, I will submit it I will keep you guys up-do-date in this thread as soon as I hear anything. Basically it will be starting WinToolkit from scratch. Here are a few things you should expect. · Make more use of mutli-tasking All-In-One Integrator will integrate wallpapers, gadgets and others at the same time as other tasks, saving even more time.

    I'm considering the idea of having a FREE version and a PRO version of WinToolkit v2.x. It's not set in stone. So here are some questions: What do you think should be available to the PRO version but not the FREE version? Obviously driver + update integration will be free. How much would you be willing to pay for the PRO version?Any other input? I will add that if i did choose the pro / free options. I would have a bog standard installer with no offers and remove the ads (on links) for the pro users.

  11. As part of my final year project (if approved). I will be focusing a lot on threading. Currently Win Tookit uses background workers with apparently are bad for performance. I've been experimenting and here are some results compare the current method used by Win Toolkit and a new method. Parallel will also use more CPU cores and I will let you choose in Options how many you want to use. By default it would be ProcressorCount - 1, so if you have a quad core with hyperthreading (8), it will use 7 by default. Test 1: The test was to get the MD5 values for 1300+ MSU files. -------------------------------------------- Not Updating GUI:- Current: 19270ms (19 seconds) New: …

    Introduction So as you may or may not be aware. Win Toolkit v2.0 has been accepted to be my final year project. That means a year and a half of researching, re-designing, re-coding and re-testing). It will require me to start the project from scratch taking in lots of researching, coding practices and everything I've learnt in the first four years into one beautiful final product. At the moment the current Win Toolkit code is a big mess. It has a mixture of old rubbish code, sorta ok code and new code. Unfortunately that means adding your requests is really hard because as you know, it leads to quite a few bugs from just forcing it in there. Some of the big tools such a…

    Hi Liam, in the new release same errors like this thread (manager empty after mount) and this thread (WAIK 8.1 necessary, otherwise error!); WTK does not check if it's installed! Installed in a VM, x64 italian, it takes the OS language if more are installed in "lang", but under "About" is en-US as language displayed, even if menus and texts are in italian. New icons look good! Thiersee

    Which would you guys prefer? Release every Saturday with multiple new features/enhancements but more testing done by me.OR A new release after each individual new addition but with less testing from me. Possibly multiple a day or sometimes every other day depending on how big a particular feature is.

    Firstly, if you have any suggestions about the improvements below or questions, let me know WIM ManagerThis is currently in progress. It now reads WIM files and currently mounted directories. Error Handling and LogsToday I have been working exception handling, this will allow finally catching any errors you experience within WTK 2.x. At the minute, any error will just crash the entire application. Another change is that the log file will now be in XML format to allow easier reading. <Error Type="Normal" Date="22 May 2015 19:23" WTK="2.0.5620.34850" DLL="2.0.5620.34850" Lang="en-US" Name="WIN-4588D1S56VL"><!-- Test Error -->An error has occured on purpo…

    Hi Lego, does not crash, but doesn't recognize foreign languages. Edit: Seems not to install anything... Tested on a VM Win7, x64, HP, same result for updates. Edit: BTW: It seems to need DismAPI.dll, I had to install WAIK 8.1! Without it gives an error and hangs.
