Note: A few antivirus programs keep detecting a couple of the included files as viruses. This is false positive. These vendors were informed numerous times and the serious companies such as DrWeb and Kaspersky, update their signatures to remove the false detection within a few hours after being informed. Others, such as McAfee, despite all the efforts and contacts, don’t do anything to update their signatures. For a few unknown ones, which use third party signatures, there is no way to contact them or they simply don’t respond. This program will never knowingly distribute any kind of malware.

- fixed issue with Windows 10 and recovery option not shown
- fixed issue with persistence file size not set correctly and tooltip for using persistence
- updated some the tools to their latest version- BootIce, ImDisk, WimLib
Notes:
1) Windows 10 – single ISOs created by Microsoft Media Creation Tool or downloaded from Microsoft should work. Dual ISOs made by the same tool (x32 and x64 in a single ISO) are NOT supported yet due to the changed structure. Such source can still be added using the previous versions which dump entire contents as they are, 1.0 beta8 for example. Limitations- such source needs to be added first, and any other sources of the same type,but not the same x32+x64, has to be added using 1.6 beta 2 or later.
WinSetupFromUSB 1.7.exe (24 MB ; 1538770 downloads)
- disabled superfloppy check due to issues with latest Windows 10 builds
- increased input timeouts to 45 seconds

WinSetupFromUSB 1.6-beta1.exe (24 MB ; 225517 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.6-beta1.7z (23 MB ; 64759 downloads)
- Added support for Windows Vista/7/8 and above sources larger than 4 GB and FAT32 for EFI compatibility- credits. In other words, now is possible to use FAT32 formatted USB drive and add larger than 4 GB source, say Windows 10, to be able to boot in EFI mode. As this is new feature not yet fully tested, the first version is released as a beta. Any feedback is appreciated.
WinSetupFromUSB 1.5.exe (23 MB ; 345300 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.5.7z (23 MB ; 73815 downloads)
- added Windows 10 support
- small bug fixes
WinSetupFromUSB 1.4.exe (22 MB ; 1969509 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.4.7z (22 MB ; 560592 downloads)
- added better handling of illegal characters for Linux/Other ISO source file name
- added advanced option for adding persistence partition for Linux sources. Each source has its own persistence space associated with it
- added better handling for Kon-Boot, source is to be added as ISO file using the Linux/Other ISO option
- added advanced option to add custom folder with boot critical drivers for NT6 sources (Vista and later). These drivers are added in boot.wim and loaded with DrvLoad before start of Setup, scratch space is increased accordingly. Only drivers for present devices will be loaded. Use it to add USB, SATA/SCSI or Chipset/USB drivers for example. Loaded drivers will be staged and available to the OS being installed. For non boot-critical drivers (Lan, WLan, Video etc.), have a look here
- added internal check for NT6 sources with multiple boot.wim, only default osloader entry in BCD store and the corresponding boot.wim will be added
- fixed errors when USB disk was initially prepared with the auto-format option, and on next run of the program it may complain about missing MBR and partition table

- WimLib updated to version 1.6.0 for compatibility with new WIM formats
WinSetupFromUSB 1.2.exe (22 MB ; 303764 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.2.7z (22 MB ; 77948 downloads)
- Fixed bug where program running on Windows localized in other than English language would not add NT6 source
- Improved handling when program is placed and run from directories which contain special characters- `~@#$%^&()-+=,; Single quote – ‘ is not supported in program directory path and there is a check for that
- Added an advanced option for NT6 (Vista and later) sources to add Q-Dir File Explorer, which starts before Setup. This is useful to quickly browse disk contents and backup and restore files before launching Setup, rather than booting first in another OS to perform the same task. When Q-Dir is closed, Setup starts.
- BootIce updated to version 1.3.2.1
WinSetupFromUSB 1.1.exe (22 MB ; 221984 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.1.7z (22 MB ; 44882 downloads)
- (U)EFI support for Windows Vista x64 SP1 and later 64 bits Windows. USB disk must be formatted in FAT32 as per EFI specifications to boot under EFI. To prepare USB disk running the program under Windows XP or 2003, which do not include bcdedit.exe, an active internet connection must be present in order to download it
- default auto-format file system has been changed to FAT32 for EFI compatibility
- Firadisk driver is now added to each XP 32 bits source, but disabled by default. A new option in DPMS and custom F6 floppy menus activates it. This should help loading SATA/AHCI/RAID drivers from virtual floppy on problematic machines
- NT6 sources boot menus are now handled by BOOTMGR
- fixed recognition of Windows 8.1 sources which contain INSTALL.ESD instead of INSTALL.WIM
- added check in boot menu for Linux sources to warn if PLoP is loaded. Linux sources would not work with PLoP loaded as it supports only read mode
- removed the ZIP archive as it seems some users tend to launch the program directly from the Windows zip folder view, rather than extracting all files and folders. A self extracting SFX archive is added instead
- updated wimlib to 1.5.3 which would also fix the issues with the first 1.0 versions (downloaded before 14.Nov.2013) and NT6 sources
- various small bug fixes
WinSetupFromUSB 1.0.zip (37 MB ; 758787 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.0.7z (22 MB ; 75077 downloads)
Windows Vista and above Setup/PE may not start, command prompt may appear saying :
“A winpesh.ini file is present, but no commands were successfully launched. This could be caused by incorrect formatting or an invalid executable name.”
or simply restarts. Please refer to this post for details and fix, or re-download the program if you downloaded it before 14.Nov.2013.
- custom boot menu name when Linux/Other ISO is added
- when XP/2003/2000 source is added and incorrectly the i386 folder is pointed as source directory, program uses its parent directory
- other small fixes and improvements
WinSetupFromUSB 1.0RC4.zip (37 MB ; 53592 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.0RC4.7z (22 MB ; 43854 downloads)
- Ability to add multiple Windows Vista, 7, 8, Server 2008/2012 sources from ISO file. Use the same option to add PE2 (Vista/Server 2008) and above based utility. Thanks to synchronicity for his amazing wimlib project
- Ability to add almost any Linux based ISO which uses hybrid cd-rom/hard disk mode, credits to cdob . Refer to this page for a non exhaustive list of tested ISOs
- Auto-format option when used with NTFS would do its best when formatting the disk, to avoid fragmented large files on this volume later on by moving $MFT at the beginning of the partition. This way $MFT zone remains at the beginning of the volume and there should be way more contiguous space available large files to occupy
- DPMS updated to DPMS2, thanks to Steve
- the command prompt window during GUI mode of XP/2000/2003 setup is now hidden, thanks to cdob. It’s needed to keep the USB drive mounted throughout the GUI mode of setup
- added ability to copy all log files to the relevant WINSETUP sub-folder during PE phase of NT6 (Vista and later) boot. Create an empty file debugme with no extension in the relevant sub-directory, e.g \WINSETUP\Win7x64\debugme, and all log files from the start of PE phase will be copied next to it
- Updates of the tools included and various bug fixes
WinSetupFromUSB 1.0 beta8.zip (31 MB ; 74273 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.0 beta8.7z (18 MB ; 19618 downloads)

- added an option for Auto-detect and use SATA/RAID/SCSI F6 drivers during XP/2003/2000 Setup thanks to DPMS by Chenall. The boot entry is optional and has to be selected once before booting First part of Setup
- added an option to include a floppy image with F6 SATA/RAID/SCSI drivers during XP/2003/2000 Setup. The boot entry is optional and has to be selected once before booting First part of Setup
- working USB to USB install thanks to WaitBT driver by Shao Miller
- added an option for creating a “kicker” ISO for Vista/7/8/Server 2008 Setup, thus avoiding possible setup failures
- added another debug option for Vista/7/8/Server 2008 Setup, shifting hard disk possitions, thus avoiding possible other setup failures
- added an option for custom folder name and boot menu entry for XP/2003/2000 Setup
- added an option for adding and using custom NTDETECT.COM in order to avoid possible BSOD 0x0000007B on some machines
- fixed partial GUI freezes during large file copy, e.g. install.wim
- fixed bug where changes occur in the small ISO for XP/2003/2000 Setup leading to errors at start of Text mode
- added USB monitor function to refresh list if USB disks when disk is connected or disconnected
- updated versions of the included programs and tools, QEMU should now support booting Vista/7/Server 2008 x64 versions too
- various bug fixes and improvements
WinSetupFromUSB 1.0 beta7.7z (7 MB ; 33563 downloads)
- fixed issues on some new systems when XP/2000/2003 Setup hangs during text mode:
http://www.msfn.org/…all-iso-method/ - fixed grub4dos menu.lst entries when detecting the number of hard drives connected
- fixed custom boot menu titles input box when adding multiple similar XP/2000/2003 sources

- fixed bug in the created menu.lst when adding PartedMagic/Ubuntu variants or other ISOs
WinSetupFromUSB 1.0 beta5.7z (4 MB ; 5890 downloads)
- added option to display all connected disks in case one needs to prepare eSATA etc. drives.
- improved detection of USB disks at start of GUI mode in case of 2000/XP/2003 setup
- added support for adding Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu ISOs
- added option for shared BTS OEM folder if several sources need to share same OEM folder. Use tooltip for info.
- experimental option to prepare source to be installed on USB, to be tested further.
- better handling in case 2000/XP/2003 install is on machine with 2 or more internal disks
- at start of GUI mode, after own setup.exe and setup.cmd are finished, setup.exe from th e source is executed, no matter another fake or the original one. Thus BTS presetup.cmd for example is executed by its fake setup.exe.
- added option not to check for and install grub4dos MBR. One would have to take care of chainloading grldr by other means.
- updated many of the included programs
WinSetupFromUSB 1.0 beta4.7z (4 MB ; 11831 downloads)

WinSetupFromUSB 0.2.3.exe (4 MB ; 109696 downloads)
Wer einen so umständlichen Download Mist produziert gehört gefoltert!
Here I am, ready to be tortured in ways, even the Grand Inquisitors back those days haven’t heard of. Sin is a sin, after all, no matter the reasons behind.
This is the best tool for this kind of job. It’s the only one that works in any computer I own — from old laptops to modern UEFI systems. It’s also the fastest. Thanks! I don’t see a donation button but I’ll visit some of your ads.
Thank you, appreciated, glad to see cheerful comments, they keep you going.
BTW, donate button is on program’s main screen, bottom left.
I loved WinSetup 1.0 beta 8, but ver.1.4 – the worst i have seen. It eats all my RAM (6GB) and do nothing for creating bootable flash…
You should open task manager and check if any of the helper programs gets stuck, if it’s WSFUSB itself, please send me the relevant log files, or watch the log window and tell me where it hangs.
Next try on another, clean and unmodified system.
Such issue has never been reported with any of the versions, after many millions of downloads, and I’d love to see what exactly is going wrong.
There is no software made till today’s date which is such precise accurate and all in one. I am using this tool from the days when the first beta got uploaded. Its excellent there are no tools over internet up till now which chan have all this features lined up in the single tool. The accuracy maintained by the developer is fabulous. And there is no developer forum who answers so instant for any regrets or problem. Please at least show some respect and degnity to the developer who made this all in one USB dream possible for all the people for free. There are many on web charging for such tools but this is the first time someone is offering such a wonderful development with no price. Thank you bro and I give 100℅ to this software application. Stay for all of us long and develop such softwares even in near future making amateur people job really very easy.
Ok, i found the problem. Program was running on virtualbox with Win7 from linux folder. Although there is write permissions, it cannot work properly. Last words in log:

After moving to local windows folder, in works awesome. Thank you! =)
Good to see you going Aleks.
As a side note, most likely bcdedit was hanging, but, given the, say unusual setup you had, didn’t it first cross your mind that the issue is quite likely to be there? Sorry, it’s just not fair, to say at least…
Cade a porcaria do programa ? eu clico e aparece outra coisa !
Try using another browser, your one, or the firewall are probably blocking scripts or hiding the referral part in the http requests…

Asalamualaikum admin,
Hi, i m shaown from bangladesh.I tried many tools/software for making usb & i also use all version of your tools..Frankly this is the best soft for creating multiboot.thanks for soft.it’s help a lot of people…
Thank you, appreciated.
Thanks for this!
Have a question. I notice “[EMS Enabled]” beside the Windows 7 install option in Windows Boot Manager setup screen. How do I remove EMS or disable it?
I wouldn’t touch it, it is exactly as in the original bcd store. The only reason you see it is that there is a menu displayed, in the original configuration the same entry is no displayed, but booted right away. If it bothers you and you know what you are doing, you can use bcdedit, BootIce, or VisualBCD and edit bcd stores in \boot and \efi\microsoft\boot.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff542193(v=vs.85).aspx
You’d need to use the /store parameter as well and point to the target bcd store, for both BIOS and EFI stores.
Здравейте,
Първо искам да изкажа хиляди благодарности за дългия и тежък път, който сте извървяли за достигането на програмата до този вид! Прекланям се пред труда и усилията Ви!
Може би трябва и да се извиня , че пиша на кирилица 🙂
Много се радвам за международния успех ! Така и трябва! 🙂
И да стигна до проблема ,който ми се заформи. Знам , че е важно да е написано всико с подробности ,но ще се опитам да не съм многословна. USB -8GB VERBATIM, AMI BIOS-ASROCK,IDE-SEAGATE -ATA, Флашката е форматирана NTFS и използвам вашата програма.Преди това формат с HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. Виждам я в BIOS-а. Като направя запис на WIN XP SP2 с програмата и сложа флашката в компютъра ми дава , че липсва GRLDR ( cannot find grldr in all drivers) а реално аз го виждам във флашката . Къде ми е проблема ? Ще съм много благодарна да получа Вашият отговор ,защото вече 10 дена какво ли не опитах и коя ли не предишна версия на програмата.
Благодаря предварително Ивелина.
Здрасти Ивелина, благодаря за топлите думи 🙂
Проблемът най-вероятно е, че дънната платка, по-скоро BIOS представя флашката като флопи диск (USB-FDD/USB-ZIP), вместо твърд (USB-HDD), типично за много ASROCK дъна. По този начин за достъпни само първите 1.44 MB от диска и то с изкривена геометрия.
Провери първо в BIOS дали няма опция за емулацията на USB дисковете, ако е USB-FDD го промени на USB-HDD. Също ако стартираш от quick boot меню с F10, F12 и подобни клавиши за да избереш USB boot, ползвай USB-HDD ако има такава опция. Ако ми дадеш точния модел на дънната платка ще моге да те ориентирам по-точно.
Следващата стъпка е да подготвиш наново флашката като сложиш отметка на auto-format опцията и избереш NTFS на първо време.
Опитай пак да стартираш и докъде ще стигнеш.
Ако не стане първия път, при се появява за няколко секунди буут меню F1. Continue boot to Grub4dos(default) и F2. Launch PLoP boot manager, като по подразбиране се самостартира първата опция. Този път натисни F2 за да стартираш PLoP, имаш само секунда-две за реакция.
Ако зареди PLoP, който зарежда негови си USB драйвери и ако е съвместим с това дъно, нещата би трябвало да тръгнат нормално, флашката да се види като твърд диск, с достъп отвъд първите 1.44 MB.
Ако имаш възможност, опитай и с флашка с различна големина, примерно 1GB или 16/32GB.
Ако и това не стане, пиши ми, имаме и други опции.
Ще махна емайл едреса ти в коментара за да не те надушат спам ботовете.
I like to use RMPrepUSB 0.2.3
I am not sure I get this…
