• added support for multi-version/dual Windows ISOs (32 and 64 bits in one ISO for example). Stock Microsoft dual ISOs are supported and tested, other such sources too, as long as they use unmodified bootmgr and default location for BCD store is in /boot/bcd. Tested in BIOS/UEFI with both Secure Boot on and off, stock Windows 10 dual and single ISO builds 1803, 1809, Server 2016 and 2019.
• added detection of Windows 10 build number which is added to the boot menu names
• updated ImDisk and WimLib
• minor bug fixes

• 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.

• disabled superfloppy check due to issues with latest Windows 10 builds
• increased input timeouts to 45 seconds
• fixed issue with Swedish locale and bcdedit
• added check if imdisk is an old version

• updated imdisk package for compatibility with latest Windows 10 versions
• Added Windows 10 in all GUI elements

2) If program is run on latest Windows 10 builds, seconds source can no longer be added due to incorrectly detected superfloppy format of the USB disk. This is due to changed by Microsoft WMI call results or structure. Fix is being worked on and will be released as soon as it’s ready.

• Fixed missing EFI boot menu for Windows 10 sources

• 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.

• added Windows 10 support
• small bug fixes

• 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

• Fixed bug when adding NT6 source with missing new line feeds in WinPEshl.ini
• Fixed handling of NT6 sources with install.esd
• Fixed bug with NT6 sources with EFI directory but no BCD file in it
• Added Ei.cfg and CVersion.ini Removal Utilities in \tools\winisoutils directory should one  needs those files removed from the NT6 source ISO file
• WimLib updated to version 1.6.0 for compatibility with new WIM formats

• 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

• (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

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.
