But I can encrypt system partition with password and after that change password to key file with no password

according to this code in prc_wizard_encrypt.c:

EnableWindow( GetDlgItem( hwnd, IDC_USE_KEYFILES), boot_device ? FALSE : TRUE );

this was done intentionally and not a bug. But why?

I got no answer on my issue #83 (the same as yours, but less technical details) till now. Thanks for workaround, I'll try it.
