For build 15 (1.4.0.15), I have some further feedback. I'm using probably the best tweaking / system optimising tool out there for live systems - TuneUp Utilities 2012 12.0.3010.5 (latest version). I wanted to see if I can add some suplimentary tweaks to my build from the recommendations of this app.
First, only a observation regarding a tweak - I think the current implementation in Win Toolkit is ok:
* fyi, as you can see here, TuneUp Utilities still has a problem with apps beeing too quickly stopped at shut down. I said it was 5 seconds the first time, I made a mistake - it was 15 seconds. However, if you ask me, 15 seconds is too much, and I think the current implementation of 5 seconds is more than ok.

Secondly, other recommendations from that app makes me request-frenzy

1. Not sure if a tweak is really working in Win Toolkit - the Internet Explorer Unlimited Simultaneous Downloads. More precisely, I get this screen, and I've also tried another tweak out there, with the same result...
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000014
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000014
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000014
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000014So what's exacly the code for that tweak? Or maybe, the same as with 15 seconds vs. 5 seconds, TuneUp Utilities gets a little paranoid, and thinks that more than 8 simultaneous downloads are too much

Added the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER' section.
2. I get a screen like this to delete a scheduled task of Collection of usage data for Windows. I included in the dedicated tweaks thread.
[Request] Not in Win Toolkit to fix
3. I get a screen like this for a starting unneeded program. I found out that only stopping the Windows Error Reporting service isn't enough, you also need to delete the scheduled task. I also included this in the tweaks section.
[Request] Again, not in Win Toolkit but i will eventually add it to the tweaks section
4. As with the previous two request, please include the tweaks from this two posts (1 + 2) in Win Toolkit. And please at no. 11 to set the permissions for that tweak. It's somehow weird I add ~ 20 useful tweaks to the tweaks section, more than I check in the app

How about a new category in the tweaks section from Win Toolkit AIO - Scheduled tasks?

tsjippy, I don't have any problems with ricktendo's installer with the latest Win Toolkit 1.4.0.15. However, that installer must be made silent first with one of the swithces provided by ricktendo in his first post. Did you do that? I use the /ai with no problems, but I don't rely on Win Toolkit, I make it silent with this first.
Lego, however please investigate the .msu's not installing with the latest Runonce in 1.4.0.15...
-
Edited by RicaNeaga
I can say this time Runonce 4.5 (found in build 15) is ~ ok for me, as it doesn't stop or run multiple instances, however it doesn't install (silently) any of the .msu updates (for ex. the two x64 ones that can't be integrated through DISM from Solor's pack).
What's weird is that they're conted at first logon (I have 19 silent installers, and for ex. .net 4 from ricktendo, which is no. 18, is really no. 18 during Runonce) - so they're not skipped during AIO integration, they're just not beeing installed properly during first logon (runonce).
I'll come back later with further feedback regarding tweaks.

Edit: So, if you want it to be more unique, then WindKit is the solution. I like it better then WinKit... windkit makes your windows faster than the wind...

my motherboard is an Asus P8P67LE with native USB 3.0...
nope, your usb 3.0 ports are not native, you have an AsMedia usb 3.0 controller. You can check right now if your usb 3.0 ports are bootable - plug in a stick in one of those USB 3.0 ports. My bet is it won't be seen as a drive in BIOS.
-
Edited by RicaNeaga
Yeah, however I'm not sure some BIOS-es will see those bootable usb sticks when inserted in the USB 3.0 capable ports, because they're beeing ''rerouted'' through third-party USB 3.0 controllers. So for some those interesting oportunities are very limited, for others (native USB 3.0 - Intel Z77/B75 chipsets or AMD A75 chipset) not so limited.

About pnputil vs. dpinst, and how to make pnputil install only the needed drivers (present on the system), I hope ricktendo will give his enthusiast / educated opinion on this...

About the unsigned drivers, apparently one option is through gpedit (not present in 7 starter/basic/premium versions) - see here. And maybe a better one is this. You'll know better

-
Making sure that only one instance is run - just great!
And please don''t forget about no. 3
3. Please check those Silent Installers options in AIO - W7T Installer background and logo - I can confirm at least the W7T Installer logo change option it's not working. Or (better) remove those ''cosmetical/whim" options in AIO. -

There is a issue with my runtimes installer IF youre using it on a 32bit windows

I accidently used the 64bit iexpress. I will upload a new one tomight.
Actually the issues happened on a 64-bit ultimate windows. so it's very weird. I'm waiting for the new installer and I'll try again.
And I'm sorry you're going over a tough period... but I'm sure ''better times'' will come

Edited by Legolash2o
Maybe such a thread is needed, as it will help wincert members not to start a new thread each time they've found a bug / issue in the W7T app.

I'll start with a very small description issue of the system tweak Don't allow windows to turn off devices - This makes sure that windows does not turn off devices to save enable - the last word should be power.
Done. -
Just before first logon, during installing switchless installers, it gets in a loop.
It may be a conflict with Kel's Runtimes 1.4
This is happening again with build 1.4.0.9 - version 4.2.2 of Windows 7 Toolkit Installer. The loop happened right after Windows 7 Toolkit Installer arrived at the seventh switchless installer - Kel's Runtimes, and it started another instance. Only after I stopped the second instance the install process continued with the first instance, and finished all 19 silent installers. So, please check:
1. Kel's installer - maybe this is the cause;
2. What exactly is the conflict - maybe other switchless installers are built the same as Kel's, so it may happen again;
3. Please check those Silent Installers options in AIO - W7T Installer background and logo - I can confirm at least the W7T Installer logo change option it's not working. Or (better) remove those ''cosmetical/whim" options in AIO.
