Software to customize Windows Installer

[SpecsTacular]

Any software to customize windows 10 installer/iso which is easier, please do not mention Microsoft Development Toolkit and even NTLite

Im guessing what you want to do is install the OS, install stuff / run customization on it, then sysprep and capture the customized image.

You can capture a customized image using WDS (Windows Deployment Services). 

 

Capturing and deploying with just WDS is more for static images that install the same way every time, and are a PITA to edit since you have to recapture for any changes..

While MDT is more for deploying a stock image that makes changes (software / drivers / scripts)  dynamically during the install without requiring a capture, (but it can still capture, and still uses WDS).

I suppose you could also customize an image with DISM. 

The "install screen" is just windows PE, that is located in the in the ISO under sources\boot.wim

Inside of boot.wim is the PE OS, I guess you can customize this; as that would "customize the installer/iso" but im not sure why you would want to customize windows PE.

 

Usually when I need to customize PE it is to add network drivers for new systems. Or add a menu for displaying some type of info.

 

 

If instead you just want a really easy way to reinstall a backup; veeam has a free utility that can backup a volume and allow you to restore it.
