Legolash2o got a reaction from ElmerBeFuddled in How to restore stripped out Windows Media Player feature without re-install
Probably quicker and better to start with a new image. Also VLC is so much better

Nah you don't need to select them again.

Legolash2o got a reaction from George King in question about WIM manager
Depends on what your remove. Most users forget to rebuild the image and that most removals are removed during install (DISM) so the image will be mostly the same but smaller after install.
I am currently planning on adding more to the vLite tab which should make the image smaller.

Legolash2o got a reaction from J.S.Prasad in Win Toolkit v1.5.0.1 Release?
Do you guys think I should release v1.5.0.1 as it already contains many fixes? After which I will continue updating my code.
What do you like or hate about v1.5.0.1 so far?

Legolash2o got a reaction from Pommern Power in All-In-One Disk Creator
The 'All-In-One Disk Creator' lets you create all in one disks, so for example you can have Windows 7 SP1 x86 and Windows 7 SP1 x64 in disk, you could further include Vista or 2008 server if you wished.
Step 1: Select your first image.
Press the 'Browse' button and select your first install.wim, you should then see all the images get lists
Step 2: Select your second image
Press the 'Browse' button again and select your second image, you should now see even more images added.
Optional 1: Add more images
You can keep hitting browse and add more and more images until your ready.
Optional 2: Delete the images you dont want!
Step 3: Press Create
W7T will then merge all of the images together, it will also try the best it can to resolve name conflicts however you may have to use the 'Edit' button and change some names to that NONE of them are the same, don't worry about descriptions, they won't conflict.
WARNING: It is really important that none of the images have the same name, W7T will try for example add 'x64' or 'x86' to the names of the images to remove conflicts, however sometimes this is not enough.
Optional: Rebuild
You can choose to rebuild your newly created image so that it can produce a smaller ISO.
Optional: ISO Maker
Self-explanatory, make a new ISO with your new creation.
Options
Unlock All Editions
Usually an image is locked to one edition i.e. Ultimate, so when it comes to install you don't have the option of choosing. Unlocking them will ask you which version of Windows you wish to install after booting from the ISO/USB.
x64 Recovery Mode
This will copy the 64bit Recovery Mode files, so if something happens to your computer and it's 64bit, you can use this option.

Legolash2o got a reaction from sukh in NEW REQUEST? <<PLEASE READ THIS FIRST>>
You can have as many requests are you want in the 1st post but once i have replied you need to make a new thread with any new/different requests.
1. Once i have completed a request i will close the thread so i know that it has been done. If you want to add to your request and i have not replied yet then use the EDIT button.
2. If i have already replied then just make a new thread.
3. NEW RULE (16/12/2011): If you see your request moving close to the bottom of the forum page, feel free to "bump" it as i like to keep all the unfinished requests at the top of the forum.
4. NEW RULE (31/10/2012): If I have locked your thread and you have not made a request for it to be unlocked for further discussion after a week the thread will be removed. I will be 'pruning' the requests forum every week for topics which are locked and not replied in a week. They technically won't be deleted but moved to the 'Trash' forum which you guys can't see so they can be restored if necessary.
I hope this makes sense. I'm trying to be as organised as i can
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I aim to add everything i can in the requests forum, so be patient!

Legolash2o got a reaction from alfreire in Unattended Creator
This will let you have you Windows installed unattended. It's not the most complete unattended out there but it's better than nothing.
Luckily most of this is self-explanatory, note it is recommended to leave 'Architecture' set to 'AnyCPU' which means it should work for both x64 and x86 installs.
Main
This is where you select the most important parts of the unattended file, like your name, serial key, time zone, screen resolution, updates, Auto-Logon, etc...
Users
The 'Users' tab lets your add pre-installed usernames on the computer, with passwords, user group, description, again self-explanatory.
Editor (Advanced)
It is recommended to leave this alone unless you know what you're doing, since W7T does not have full unattended features it allows users to add their own entries and save them to a file, it also allows the user to see what will be saved.
Serial Keys
These serial keys are known as 'Default Keys', they are basically just used to make the install unattended by leave Windows de-activated and keeps the 30 day trial.
WARNING: If you use a Ultimate serial key then you must install Ultimate otherwise it will error.
Integration
You can use the 'WIM Manager' to integrate a unattended file.

Legolash2o got a reaction from theSLug in Bye Bye v1.4.0, Hello v1.5.0
v1.4.0 is officially finished and will no longer be worked on. I've now started v1.5.0!!!
So far i've been improving old code and once i've done with the rest of the program, I will start getting all of those requests done. I've renamed v1.4.0 on the main downloads page to [sTABLE] and will also be available whilst the beta is available.
Download BETA
Requests and bug reports do NOT go in here, this is for general v1.5.0 discussion only!
News
I've made further improvements to Win Toolkit startup. Win Toolkit roughly took upto 12 seconds to load up especially if it got stuck on 'Checking for updates'. Win Toolkit has moved that task to the background and moved another few startup items around and will now bring you the main Win Toolkit screen in less than 0.2 seconds. Quicker than me blinking!!
In fact it was so quick, i couldn't read a single progress status before the main form appeared. If a new version appears a balloon notification will appear near your clock which you can click on to see what's new.
How does it work?
Previously, Win Toolkit had to wait until the update check procedure was completed before it would continue to show you the main screen. Now update checking has it's own thread which means Win Toolkit no longer has to wait for it to finish. The update checking will continue even when the main form is loaded which means you can get things done abit quicker!
Experimenting
I'm also going to be experimenting with AIO Integrator eventually. Adding a few more threading maybe, so it can for example integrate drivers and updates at the same and a bunch of other stuff simultaneously!

I can add an option in 'Win Toolkit Options' which allow you to select to either just show MSU/CAB files or display everything?

Legolash2o got a reaction from amaltom61 in Update catalog not working
They are duplicates anyway.....Windows6.1-KB2561821-v2-x64.msu is exactly the same Windows6.1-KB2561821-v2-x64.cab
I'm closing this thread now as the original issue has been fixed (i think) and everyone seems to have dumped their issues in this one topic.

Legolash2o got a reaction from ruby in WinToolkit v1.5.0.x [What To Expect]
In case you're wondering why there has not been any releases for a while, it's because I'm preparing to start the v1.5 release.
Before I can start that build i have to do a lot of 'code refactoring' which I haven't done since v1.2. Basically, this is where I update all of my old code to the new methods I have learned since originally coding that part of the code. It will make Win Toolkit more efficient and hopefully faster (last time it made it way faster). Most importantly it will allow me to easily add new features.
This however does take time. We are talking about 1 person (me) individually checking 50,000+ lines of code and updating if necessary :-O
