Just downloaded the torrent and it appears that MediCat_Installer.exe has a trojan
Sadly, damn near ANY script which uses powershell to pull from the web ANYTHING (files, programs, more scripts, etc) as well as has features like formatting a drive will be labeled as a Trojan courtasy of Massivesoft, doesnt matter what it does.

Hello Jayro and thank you for this lovely tool
Question is that the format for 2112 has changed from 2106
where do we put our ISO's?
In the live operating systems folder?
Thank s again

I keep getting a ramdisk error for the mini windows 10 option. it won't boot, it just gives me that error.
weird enough though, other stuff like win10 recovery, or things involving a small version of win10 are fine. even installing win 10 from iso works.
i see a solution online involving bcedit or smth, that does not work, as in it'll spit something out about it being incorrect parameter.
using it on UEFI machine, with 4gb of ram, so ramdisk shouldn't be an issue, correct?

All trojan warnings and virus warnings are false positives. You guys should know this by now, it's been mentioned here about 9,576,349,754,574,122,957,596 times already.
I can use exfat? or only ntfs for this?
And i can use mbr for ventoy or gpt only?
and whether it will all work when I do
NTFS, or many ISOs will not boot.
Can you please make a version for windows 11 as well?
Eventually, but there's no rush for me to get a Windows 11 WinPE going just yet. WinBuilder still only supports a very old version of Windows 11 at the moment.

Yes, the folder structure has changed drastically. You can place your ISOs in whatever folders you want really, that's entirely up to you.

1.) Are you booting it from BIOS mode or UEFI mode?
2.) Have you disabled Secure Boot on the laptop?
3.) Are you using a MBR or GPT formatted USB? I suggest testing both to see which one works better for you, as mileage varies between systems.

@royitoroy Wipe the disk completely and the partition preferably with some gparted and delete any partitions then create a ntfs partition and install multicat etc. according to the guides. If multicat works and loads properly I would advise you to keep your "stuff" on the same partition as your multicat files. It's best to make a folder and create a file called .ventoyignore in it. then the ventoy will not unnecessarily load your personal belongings and you will be able to keep them there safely.
