  1. Maybe you can find then some helping hands, or you planning that's will still a one-man-project?

    As a side note to this, whether or not you allow other people to work on this, it would be useful to have WinToolKit modular.  To clarify, make it to where additional modules could be added (or worked on separately) but all called by WinToolKit.  (since you are going multi-threaded anyway.)

  2. 8.1 DISM doesn't work on XP. WinToolkit does run on XP with some small features disabled. I will be using .NET 4.0 so XP users can still use it.

    As long as you do not have to do anything "extra" to truly support that version.  However if at all possible, it would be good to have extra features for those more recent dism versions.

  3. While it would be an interesting project, I do have a problem with the "Make more use of mutli-tasking" approach.  Most things that have to be integrated into a windows install disk are performed by the program dism, is it possibly or even wise to try and multitask that function?  Hopefully the process of multitasking will not cause issues with disk thrashing all of those files around.

     

    These are just thoughts of mine, so as long as you can work through the multitasking issues, I suppose it will be a good thing.

     

    Keep up the great work.

  4. I can release a build every night for the next 3 days if people want that?

     

     

    About McRip button, I was going to make it prompt and ask the user if they would like to go to the WHD's site for updates.

     

    If it is a working build (with problems fixed), I do not have a problem with that.

     

    As for the "McRip button", I am not sure what 'WHD' stands for, but if it is another way to get updates for Windows then that would probably be best.

  5. it would be nice if that could be fixed :P

     

    And you might want to ask Microsoft to fix it then.  WinToolKit uses an official tool provided by Microsoft to perform "official" actions on an installation disc.

     

    As a side note:  It is not possible to remove items "officially" in Windows 7.  In Windows 8, the 'Dism' tool has been improved enough to do this with only Windows 8 and above.

  6. Personally, there is two things that "bother" me with Win Toolkit installer:

     

    - The text is in English with no possibility to translate.

    - The list of installers can only be modified in the registry, a text file would be more convenient.

     

    I think these should be posted to Legolash2o so that he could possibly work on them.  I use english, but I think a multilingual program is a worthwhile goal.  As for the installers, it would worth it to do, but probably not too easy to implement.

  7. I usually try not to say too much as I do not think some people are worth the time and effort to answer the dumb questions and demands that are made.  However in your case Kelsenellenelvian, I can say that I also like your attitude.  Some people think it might be harsh, however I like to think that you are telling people how it is. That is welcome and refreshing.  Yeah, you do not always have to be so hard on people, but people will never learn if you do not tell it to them "how it is".

     

    I wish you the best on your 'retirement.'  I hope that you can find peace and understanding in your personal life.  Hopefully you will not be too much of a stranger to these forums.

  8. My apologies on that bphlpt.  I got a little exuberant on people complaining about stuff in the wrong thread.  That and I jumped all over the wrong person.

     

    Apologies to abbodi1406.

     

    As for mattew, he should post in the appropriate thread (or create his own).  In that post he should include more information about what he was trying to do.

  9. Until McRip is back, here you can download archives that are up-to-date with all the needed security updates AND hotfixes (for windows 7 SP1 images) :)

    I wanted to thank you for this link RicaNeaga.  It helped with the installation and update of my Windows 7 disc.  Thanks.

  10. I realize that WinToolKit already keeps a record of the time it takes to perform the whole process.  If it is not too much trouble, I would like to see a "Results Window" after integration is done with a break down of the times it took in various places (separate times for update integration, driver integration, tweak integration, mount/unmount times, etc).

     

    The "Results Window" would have an option to show or not at the end of the process (for those people who do not want to show the windows).

     

    My opinion:  For those of us who like to try tweaking the WinToolKit settings (like drive locations, etc), the results window would be useful to compare performance runs for those options we choose.  I realize this will not exactly make WinToolKit work any better, but it would help those of us wondering about where the time went.

  11. I know there is an option to add registry files, however I had the damnedest time trying to find it.  If I had not selected the 'Add' button under tweaks, I would have never known that option was there.

     

    Would it not be easier to add another tab next to the tweaks that lists registry files?
