- Enables selecting multiple existing FFU images to include on the deployment USB for easier distribution and testing.
- Adds a UI option with selectable, sortable list from the capture folder, refresh support, and persisted selections.
- Validates that selections exist when the option is enabled to prevent empty runs.
- Supports unattended/CLI flows by prompting early or accepting a preselected list for USB creation; deduplicates and logs chosen files.
- Always includes the just-built (or latest available) FFU as a base.
- Improves no-FFU handling and streamlines multi-FFU selection workflow.
Adds per-app control for additional accepted exit codes and ignoring non‑zero exit codes to improve handling of installers with nonstandard returns.
Exposes editable fields in the app list UI, persists them across search defaults, import/export, and pre-download save, and applies overrides during app resolution to honor configured behavior.
Extracts the logic for importing supplemental assets (Winget, BYO, Drivers) into a new reusable function. This function is now called by both the manual and automatic configuration loaders, reducing code duplication.
Enhances the manual configuration loading process with more robust error handling. It now provides specific user-facing error messages for file read failures, empty files, and invalid JSON, improving the user experience when loading a malformed configuration.
When loading a configuration, if optional supplemental files like AppList.json are referenced but not found, an informational message is now displayed to the user instead of failing silently.
Introduces a new feature, `UseDriversAsPEDrivers`, that allows WinPE drivers to be sourced directly from the main driver repository.
When enabled, the script scans all available drivers, parses their INF files, and copies only the essential driver types (e.g., storage, mouse, keyboard, touchpad, system devices) needed for WinPE. This eliminates the need to maintain a separate, manually curated `PEDrivers` folder.
The UI is updated with a new checkbox that becomes visible when "Copy PE Drivers" is selected, making this a sub-option. Parameter validation is also adjusted to support this new workflow.
Introduces a "Restore Defaults" feature in the UI to reset the environment. This action removes generated configuration files, ISOs, downloaded apps, updates, drivers, and FFUs.
The post-build cleanup logic is refactored from the main build script into a new common function. This new function is used by both the standard build process and the new restore defaults feature, promoting code reuse and simplifying maintenance.
Updates the visibility of UI panels for Winget and drivers when a previous environment is automatically loaded.
This ensures that if Winget apps or driver models are present, their corresponding UI sections are made visible. Additionally, it updates the "select all" checkbox state for Winget results and attempts to pre-select the hardware make for loaded drivers.
Implements a new feature to automatically load the previously saved environment when the UI is launched.
This improves user experience by restoring the last saved configuration, including selected applications and drivers, eliminating the need to manually reload them on each run.
The process loads the main `FFUConfig.json` and then proceeds to load associated Winget, BYO App, and Driver lists if they are defined. UI elements and checkboxes are updated accordingly to reflect the loaded state.
Eliminates the read-only field and derives the features list directly from the checked items, producing a sorted semicolon string when collecting config. Avoids duplicated state, prevents desynchronization between UI elements, and yields deterministic ordering for persistence.
- Creates a new parameter [bool]InjectUnattend
- This will take the FFUDevelopment\Unattend\unattend_[arch].xml file and copy it to the FFUDevelopment\Apps\Unattend and rename the file to unattend.xml.
- This is useful for situations where you don't use the USB drive for deploying the FFU but still have Unattend-related customizations that you want to apply.
- Implemented Select-VMSwitchFromConfig function to handle VM switch selection based on configuration.
- Enhanced Register-EventHandlers to persist custom VM switch name and IP address when 'Other' is selected.
- Improved user experience by ensuring relevant fields are populated correctly based on user input and configuration settings.
- Introduced a new parameter `MaxUSBDrives` to control the maximum number of USB drives that can be built in parallel, with a default value of 5.
- Updated UI to include a textbox for setting `MaxUSBDrives`.
- Implemented validation to ensure the value is a non-negative integer.
- Adjusted the deployment function to respect the `MaxUSBDrives` limit during USB drive creation.
Adds standard PowerShell comment-based help blocks (synopsis and description) to all UI and common library script modules (`.psm1`) and the main UI entry point script (`.ps1`).
This improves maintainability and discoverability by documenting the purpose of each script file. Also removes various redundant or commented-out code blocks.
Adds a "Threads" setting to the UI, allowing users to control the throttle limit for parallel tasks like driver and application processing.
This introduces a new textbox in the build options and updates the parallel processing function to use this configurable value instead of a hardcoded one.
Input validation is also added to ensure the threads value is a valid integer and is at least 1. The new setting is integrated into the configuration save/load functionality.
Refines the logic for setting the Windows Release from a saved configuration to handle ambiguous values.
When a release value like '2019' exists for both Server and LTSC editions, the UI could select the wrong item. The logic now inspects the `WindowsSKU` config value to differentiate between them, correctly selecting the LTSC or non-LTSC release.
This helps in troubleshooting the FFU build process by providing more detailed output to the console. The verbose setting is saved to and loaded from the configuration file.
Removes the parameter for installing preview cumulative updates to simplify the script's interface.
Improves logging during the driver copy process to provide better visibility into which drivers are being used.
The UI no longer loads the selected device 'Make' from the configuration on startup.
Automatically deletes the source driver folder after successful compression into a WIM file to conserve disk space. A failure to delete will only log a warning and not interrupt the process.
Removes unused 'Make' and 'Model' properties from the UI configuration.
Moves the logic for saving and loading configuration files from the main UI script into the `FFUUI.Core.Config` module. This change improves modularity and separation of concerns, making the code easier to maintain.
The main `BuildFFUVM_UI.ps1` script is simplified, with event handlers now calling the new, dedicated functions in the core module to manage configuration state.
Also corrects the path for the `FFUConfig.json` file.
Moves UI configuration loading and retrieval logic into a new `FFUUI.Core.Config` module.
Removes the `Set-UIValue` helper function from `BuildFFUVM_UI.ps1` and the `Get-UIConfig` function from `FFUUI.Core.psm1`.
This centralizes UI-related configuration handling for improved modularity.
