ei.cfg bypass ventoy

[memo]

Devices that have a key saved in the bios, there is no option to choose to editon.

Is it possible to inject ei.cfg while booting iso or another bypass??

Halfway solution. I would like to have a edition selection during installation.

firstly read this article  from ventoy web site : https://www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_injection.html

1. Put windows_injection.7z file to Ventoy first partition (for example : /ISO/windows_injection.7z )
2. Copy Win10/Win11 ISO file to ISO directory ( /ISO/Win10_x86_64.iso )
    windows_injection.7z and Win10_x86_x64.iso files must be same directory.

3. Write necessary codes to ventoy.json file

"injection": [
        {
            "image": "/ISO/Win10_x86_x64.iso",
            "archive": "/ISO/windows_injection.7z"
        }
    ],

This can be done with an XML file. Just use an empty <key> line

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">

<settings pass="windowsPE">


<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

Use VentoyPlugson to generate the ventoy.json file.
