WinSetupFromUSB is a Windows program, which prepares multiboot USB flash or fixed disk to install any Windows versions since 2000/XP, boot various Linux and *BSD flavors, as well as many Windows, Linux, DOS based and other utilities.

Changes from 1.0
(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, bit 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 1.3 - 10.Jan.2014

Changes from 1.2
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
