Creating a custom menu to select programs during Windows installation can be a useful approach for setting up a system with the software you need right from the start. One common method to achieve this is by creating an unattended installation script that includes the programs you want to install. Here's a general overview of the steps you can follow to create a custom program selection menu during Windows installation: 1. Prepare the Installation Media: - Create a bootable Windows installation USB drive. 2. Create an Unattended Installation Answer File: - Use the Windows System Image Manager (SIM) to create an answer file (unattend.xml) that automates the Windows installation process. 3. Include Program Installations in the Answer File: - Within the answer file, include commands or scripts to install the programs you want. 4. Add a Custom Program Selection Menu: - You can create a menu system that appears during the installation process where you can select the programs to install. - This can be achieved through scripting and automation within the answer file. 5. Automate the Installation Process: - Use features like batch scripts or PowerShell scripting to handle the program installations based on user selections. 6. Testing and Validation: - Test your customized Windows installation on a virtual machine or a test system to ensure that the program selection menu works as expected. Depending on your scripting skills and the complexity of the programs you want to install, you may need to invest some time in scripting the installation process. Automating software installation can involve writing scripts that handle the installation silently without user intervention. If you need specific guidance on scripting the program installations or creating custom menu systems within the Windows installation process, feel free to provide more details about the programs you want to install, and I can assist you further with custom scripting solutions.
