  1. What reason is that? :fun:
  2. The latest test version has been updated to include the new sources. Alphawave had to move the lists location and then encrypt them.
  3. I will hopefully investigate this issue later today. EDIT: Hopefully the revamped RunOnce installer resolves this.
  4. Hey, please try the latest test version and report back please Video is great, more videos the better, although sometimes just a screenshot is needed
  5. Hey, please try the latest test version and report back please
  6. Is it possible you can link or upload that SFX somewhere please? I would like to do some testing
  7. Don't worry if your score hasn't been updated, i'm still keeping track of them. The competition will end on 1st April 2014 9th May 2014. Please go through any posts you have made and give a status update or a bump if you are still experiencing the issue. Thanks Please make sure to use the latest test version. UPDATE: I decided to change the end date to 9th of may as that's when my last piece of coursework has to be in for.
  8. After you close WinToolkit you said the memory didn't go back down. Can you tell me which process was using it all please?
  9. As part of my final year project (if approved). I will be focusing a lot on threading. Currently Win Tookit uses background workers with apparently are bad for performance. I've been experimenting and here are some results compare the current method used by Win Toolkit and a new method. Parallel will also use more CPU cores and I will let you choose in Options how many you want to use. By default it would be ProcressorCount - 1, so if you have a quad core with hyperthreading (8), it will use 7 by default. Test 1: The test was to get the MD5 values for 1300+ MSU files. -------------------------------------------- Not Updating GUI:- Current: 19270ms (19 seconds) New: 5499ms (5.4 seconds) 350% speed increase! When updating the GUI:- Current: 38417ms (38.4 seconds)New: 9576ms (9.5 seconds) 401% speed increase! -------------------------------------------- Test 2: The test was to get the MD5 values for 55652 files. Not Updating GUI:- Current: 466165ms (466 seconds / 7.7 minutes) New: 4943ms (4.9 seconds / 0.082 minutes) 9430% speed increase! When updating the GUI:- Current: 500754ms (501 seconds / 8.34 minutes) (testing....)New: 13334ms (13.3 seconds / 0.22 minutes) 3755% speed increase! ----------------------------------------------------------- The results so far look very promising! Imagine integrating EVERY gadget, EVERY wallpaper, EVERY custom files, EVERYTHING except Updates + Drivers being integrated at the same time as everything else. I'm still continuing my research...
  10. At the moment I'm doing A LOT of research on multi-threading and I'm definitely finding a lot of interesting things. At the moment Win Toolkit uses BackgroundWorkers which are actually really bad and limited in regards to CPU usage, etc... Continuing research.... @latino Wrong place, needs to go in the request forum. I'm mostly focusing on bug fixes and research at the moment. I will most likely do some more work on the RunOnce installer.
  11. Try without KB2843630
  12. I've made some changes and hopefully it has been fixed. Thanks UPDATE: Fix is in test 4.
  13. Only updates, component removal and drivers require dism STAGE 1 Thread 1: Updates > Component Removal > Drivers Thread 2: Gadgets > Theme Packs > Wallpapers > Files Thread 3: Silent Installers - use install.ini instead. STAGE 2: Registry required Thread 1: Addons Thread 2: Services Thread 3: Tweaks
  14. Look back at post 1 if you want to know what Win Toolkit looks like in its physical form.
  15. In case you didn't know, I've been drafting up my proposal to finally work on a new Wintoolkit v2 as my final year project at university. It will be EPIC. I've received feedback and made changes to my proposal, just awaiting for further feedback. Once that is done, I will submit it I will keep you guys up-do-date in this thread as soon as I hear anything. Basically it will be starting WinToolkit from scratch. Here are a few things you should expect. · Make more use of mutli-tasking All-In-One Integrator will integrate wallpapers, gadgets and others at the same time as other tasks, saving even more time. Run other tools whilst integration is in progress. Converting files, downloading and so fourth.Click here for multi-threading experiment results. · Run speed profile tests to see if code can be made more efficient. I want Win Toolkit v2 to be very very efficient and run as fast a possible. This includes running automated tests which tell me the slow areas of my code and then I basically plan how I can make it fast. Every millisecond will count! This WILL improve ALL-In-One Integrator dramatically!!!!!!!! · Conduct extensive testing to ensure final software meets requirements. I will have to do testing reports and documentation, hopefully you guys can help too. · Design and implement automated testing. I will use the tools available in Visual Studio to design automated testing. This will ensure that if i make a change it wont screw up anything that worked previously. Each method will have multiple automated tests. · Automated online databases The only database using SQL will keep automatically keep track of what of updates are LDR or GDR saving previous extracting time. Keep tracking of what updates can and can't be integrated. Allow me to add notes to updates so if an issue appears with an update I can make it show notes without havign to download a new version.The above three implementations will be amazing. You would not have update WinToolkit to solve integration issues, it will all be done without lifting a finger by anyone! It also includes other benefits. Keep tracking of Win Toolkit updates. Track errors and bugs. · Automatic Updating Win Toolkit will update itself automatically (can be turned off) and will hopefully download only parts of the file which has changed saving your bandwidth. You will also have the option to download beta updates. · Consistent and predictable release cycle. Test Builds: Pretty much every night.Beta Builds: Every Saturday night.Main Builds: First Saturday of the month. WinToolkit v1Wanted to know what Win Toolkit looks like in its physical form? I decided to print out all the code and will be painfully going through it all to look for areas of improvement!
  16. Although it looks like its installing all the drivers, it only will install the drivers needed for that system
  17. Shouldn't be too hard to fix In the mean time mount to F:\3 UPDATE: Already fixed.
  18. Thanks guys, I'm currently preparing the paperwork to submit to the University for my final year project (Win Toolkit) and will be submitted it tomorrow

    Update

    Thought I'd post to show I'm still alive. I haven't been online for the past week as I had someone over for the week. I am still coding so don't worry even though my mental health really isn't good. Freaking out about money, coursework but mostly health, usually life stuff. AAAHHHHHHHHHHH. Anyways, expect some more test builds during the week. Hope everyone is well!
  20. So you're saying it's running the next installer before the previous has finished? If so, that's easy to fix
  21. All LDR branches are dead? Link please?
  22. Some extra info on the failed updates: WMF4.0 requires .NET Framework 4.5 http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=40855
