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.

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 ; 1542837 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 ; 226097 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.6-beta1.7z (23 MB ; 65100 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 ; 346934 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.5.7z (23 MB ; 74175 downloads)
- added Windows 10 support

- 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

WinSetupFromUSB 1.2.7z (22 MB ; 78244 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 ; 223939 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.1.7z (22 MB ; 45339 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 ; 760554 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.0.7z (22 MB ; 75692 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 ; 54020 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.0RC4.7z (22 MB ; 44144 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 ; 74600 downloads)
WinSetupFromUSB 1.0 beta8.7z (18 MB ; 19921 downloads)

- 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 ; 33966 downloads)

WinSetupFromUSB 1.0 beta5.7z (4 MB ; 6097 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

sir windows service pack 2 is not runing speedali on service pack 2 is beter runing this usb bootable way….?
Sorry, I can’t understand what you mean.
None of the downloads are working, tried clearing cache- different pc also.
Your browser is sending blank referrer as far as I can see in the logs. Are you behind a firewall? Find out what is stripping out the referrer part from browser’s requests.
Download links not working.
Went to this page – ./downloads/ – from main page, clicked link to “WinSetupFromUSB 1.4.7z”.
Brought me to ./files/download-info/winsetupfromusb-1-4-7z/,
download link (button-like) sent me to ./download/winsetupfromusb-1-4-7z/,
from where you can reach ./files/download-info/winsetupfromusb-1-4-7z/ again…
Circling around, no download possible – links mixed up?

Hi,
how can I add win7x86 and win7x64 togethet to the flash drive?
Yes, you can. Have a look at the FAQ page, #2 for details.
For WinSetipFromUSB.exe I get a CRC checksum of 807EA9C8.
Downloaded three times, could not get your checksum.
Can you clear browser’s cache and try again now?
Are you using a download manager?
download won’t open.
well, your site is bad.
Downloads open just fine here, testing with FF, Chrome, IE and FlashGet.
When you are saying won’t open, what exactly happens- redirect, hang, broken download or what?
If you can make a better site- you are more than welcome, please contact me privately to discuss, the current one seems to do the job for now- providing information, feedback/support and download links for a free tool.
This is the best tools for putting Windows OS installer i’ve ever use! Still using version beta 8 from flashboot.ru years ago, and just found the official website. Props for the dev, thank you so much!
Thanks Ade, glad to be of help.
When I try to select a Windows 7 iso, it tells me “This doesn’t seem to be a valid source!”. I have tried 2 different ISOs, including one I downloaded from Microsoft themselves. I manually checked, and all the files mentioned in the error message do in fact exist, however I notice that the message specifies /boot/BCD, but bcd is in lower case in the iso. Are you using case-sensitive filenames when checking?
It’s not case sensitive. Can you upload all log files as mentioned in FAQ #14?
Never mind… Once I looked at the log file I discovered the problem. I was running it from a network share, and apparently it doesn’t like that. Perhaps it would be good to add some code that checks for such things and gives an appropriate error message?
I use quite often network share, although not tested extensively.
What is the exact network path which is failing, including ISO file names?
It would also help to post the relevant lines in the log file.

It wasn’t the path of the ISO that was failing… it was the path to the executables themselves. I was running Windows in a VM, and lauching winsetup from the download directory on my host machine.
Noticed it, thanks. This is not tested, will see if something can be improved.
i’m blocked aas well on firefox 30.
I disabled noscript and google disconnect.
the link won’t expand.
i got it somewhere else.
You can’t even use a proxy to download it faster on 3g dongle.
Some nonsense about hotllinking and redirects.
bad site!!.
If you ask politely and change attitude we may figure out what the issue is with your browser and hopefully get it fixed.
And yes, there are some checks for hotlinking, no idea why you’d need a proxy at all, but if it’s sending blank http referers it won’t be allowed.
