Can people please test the latest test build. The RunOnce installer has had an upgrade in regard to threading and updates are installed separately. Also when you select/load a DVD in WIM Manager a sample install.ini is created in the sources folder to be used with the RunOnce. Thanks. I wish it was dead already or wish that Windows 7 came with .NET 4 instead of 3.5

Well with the RunOnce installer I've managed to keep it on .NET 3.5 but yet use a backported dll which lets me use the parallel and linq from .NET 4.0. But for WinToolkit I will use the latest .NET framework the university have.

What do you mean? Free, may probably even release the source code. After my project I may decide to go a next step further and do it in C++ instead of C# lmao. :crying_anim02: :sick01:

I know in the RunOnce im working on right now you can do something similar to: Setup.exe /configure %DVD%:\\Office2013\\config.xml UPDATE: Test 8 released with this feature

it does scan subfolders

Since RunOnce decided to screw up (partially my fault). I decided to put all my knowledge including the new multithreading knowledge I have into it, So far it's a lot less code and much simpler for me to read and so far the results have been excellent. For example: I had to wait about 10-13 seconds for it detects items to install (usually 2000+ drivers) before I see the main install screen. Now it does the same thing in 411ms 366ms so no complaints here. It now uses all cores to get the information.

I'm coding it now. Since RunOnce is .NET 4, i get a chance to use the new parallel threading code

Unfortunately some of the RunOnce installer got cuorrupted so got to do a lot of work to fix it. SVN didn't work properly

I want to implement it for the next release but it requires changing Win Toolkit from .NET 3.5 to .NET 4.0

So I can add them to the silent installers list?

What reason is that? :fun:

The latest test version has been updated to include the new sources. Alphawave had to move the lists location and then encrypt them.

I will hopefully investigate this issue later today. EDIT: Hopefully the revamped RunOnce installer resolves this.

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

Hey, please try the latest test version and report back please

Is it possible you can link or upload that SFX somewhere please? I would like to do some testing

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.

After you close WinToolkit you said the memory didn't go back down. Can you tell me which process was using it all please?

Fixed.

Fixed

Fixed in the latest test build.

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...

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.

Try without KB2843630

I've made some changes and hopefully it has been fixed. Thanks UPDATE: Fix is in test 4.
