Remove arguments because everything else is interactive prompts

Open rb0022 opened this issue 2 months ago • 7 comments

Remove arguments -ISO and -SCRATCH because everything else is interactive prompts anyway. It is unclear to a novice user that these arguments will just create a subdirectory in the current directory (wherever the .ps1 has been downloaded to).

This simplifies the execution for novice users who haven't used DISM manually / are familiar with the virtual mount of a directory from doing WinPE related activities in the past.

Related to #440 and #484

Hi @rb0022 ! Be sure you use the script on the main page not release.


These parameters are here if you want to use a custom path. You can still use the script without using these.

The script will prompt you for it, but he will be using your script root path for the working directory. It can be useful if you don't have too much space on the disk the script is.

Thanks for the help. The parameters should be marked optional or removed from the Instructions section in the repo's readme.md

No problem ! Yes there is some missing info in the readme. And the fact that the relase is not up-to-date does not help.

Used the file from the main branch, used the args but was then prompted anyway. The prompts should just handle the custom paths in my opinion.

Can you send me the command you used ?

Miiraak avatar Nov 08 '25 11:11 Miiraak

If I recall correctly, something like .\tiny11maker.ps1 -ISO test.iso -SCRATCH D

Okay, You need to mount your iso (double clic on it). Then the letter given to your mounted ISO goes in the -ISO param.

Exemple : I mount my iso and i want to use my "Files" disc as working dir. Image

The command will be :

C:/Path/To/Script/tiny11maker.ps1 -ISO J -SCRATCH E
