Important
If you use Windows Defender, it may incorrectly flag this version as malware. SmartScreen may also do this. Don't worry; this is safe to download and use.
This AV solution flags this program because it lacks code-signing certificates, which are quite expensive (as of January 2025, 660 and 864 dollars for 3 years of SV and EV certificates, respectively, from Comodo).
If you use other antivirus solutions, you will not see this problem. Learn more here
Bugfixes
- Fixed a minor UI issue where the NT logon path of a domain user would not be shown when launching the ADDS domain join wizard for the first time
- Fixed some HiDPI issues
- Fixed an issue where, when managing the active installation, the version's revision number would sometimes not coincide with the actual revision number
- Fixed an issue where information about a Windows image would be cleared after adding or removing packages
- Fixed an issue where the program would throw an exception if it couldn't create the logs directory (#344, thanks @Low351)
New features
Preinstallation Environment Helper
- If a non-sysprepped volume is selected in the image capture script, it will now warn you. Ignore the warning if you are capturing a volume containing a just-deployed Windows installation
- A new task has been added to copy installation images to a Windows Deployment Services (WDS) server:
Unattended answer file features
- Organizational units and users in OUs are now sorted alphabetically in the ADDS domain join wizard
- The ADDS domain join wizard will now let you continue if you had selected an account that does not require a password (contains PASSWD_NOTREQD in its
userAccountControlattribute) - A task has been added to copy a pre-configured answer file to an image so that it boots to Audit mode automatically
Note
This feature is experimental and may not work in some cases (the image might boot to OOBE instead of audit mode). If that happens, you will need to press CTRL + Shift + F3 when the OOBE asks for user input
Image Tasks
- Image capture tasks will now warn you when source installations have not been prepared with Sysprep
- A new task has been added to optimize Windows images
- Support for Full Flash Utility (FFU) has been introduced. Variations of the image application, capture, split, and optimization have been introduced with FFU support
