What happened?

Hi....LongPanda

First lots of thanks for providing injection plugin feature in ventoy that really help for blind/Visually Impaired users....

I am currently enjoying injection plugin (windows_injection.7z) when installing Windows ISO in normal mode using Ventoy. But today when I was booted WIN11 ISO in my another PC, then Ventoy does not booted to Windows Setup even after 1 hour. It stuck to a blinking cursor point.....So I decide to boot WIN11 ISO in WIMBOOT mode. When I booted to WIMBOOT mode it directly reach to Windows Setup screen and does not uses injection plugin (windows_injection.7z).

I am a visually Imparied persion and use my own WIN_SMART_INSTALL.cmd within .7z package in order to automatic silent installation of Windows using injection plugin features....But here I become disappointed and I have to use Grubfm in order to install WIN11 ISO in automatic mode.

Can you please provide support of injection plugin in WIMBOOT mode also so we can enjoy Ventoy injection plugin in both normal mode and WIMBOOT mode......

Thanks & Regards....

What is the phenomenon?
Did the setup dialog pop up? If the setup dialog pop up, press Shift+F10 then run type X:\Windows\system32\ventoy.log

[devdevadev]

Setup dialong popup as usual instead of running my custom WIN_SMART_INSTALL.cmd batch file....

ventoy.log

[ventoy]

The log shows that Ventoy has decompressed windows_injection.7z and run X:\VentoyAutoRun.bat. Please check that if there exist X:\VentoyAutoRun.log

[devdevadev]

Yes..you are right. Maybe VentoyAutoRun.bat is running in the background. But I want to run my start_vtoy.bat using Winpeshl.ini on the top so I can choose my desired Installation type and enter some user inputs before installation start. I use following Winpeshl.ini and start_vtoy.bat for this purpose and it works perfectly in normal mode but not working in WIMBOOT mode.

E:\ventoy\windows_injection.7z\VentoyAutoRun.bat -

@echo off set ISOFILE=%1 set MNTPOINT=%2 echo ISOFILE=%ISOFILE% echo MNTPOINT=%MNTPOINT%

E:\ventoy\windows_injection.7z\Windows\System32\Winpeshl.ini -

[LaunchApps] %SystemRoot%\system32\wpeinit.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\netstart.exe x:\windows\system32\start_vtoy.bat

E:\ventoy\windows_injection.7z\Windows\System32\start_vtoy.bat -

@echo off title Ventoy start_vtoy.bat echo Running wpeinit.exe - please wait... %cd%\wpeinit.exe cls ren %cd%\wpeinit.exe wpeinit.exe.old cmd /q /c "FOR %%i IN (C D E F G H I J K L N M O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:_ISO\WINDOWS\INSTALLS\CONFIGS\WIN_SMART_INSTALL.CMD cmd /k %%i:_ISO\WINDOWS\INSTALLS\CONFIGS\WIN_SMART_INSTALL.CMD"

Please upload your injection archive here for test.

windows_injection.zip

It's looking winpeshl.exe is not running ?
