More Info:Azin, for today, gets end-user use
Plugins with WimBuilder and LiveSystemPro projects.
Azin, for today, supports Win8.0 Win8.1 via LiveSystemPro and Win10 via LiveSystemPro and WimBuilder. - 2020.01.24Azin, for today, supports Vista Win7 Win8.0 Win8.1 via LiveSystemPro and Win10 via LiveSystemPro and WimBuilder. - 2021.05.09
In the future more support down to Gena and up to new projects.
You can have Azin on the same folder with
Gena, Win7PESE, Win8PESE, Win8.1SE, Win10PESE along with Yomi (
Plugin server) and your personal
plugins (MyPlugins, MyPlugins_Direct)
All 6+1+2 projects Designed to work on the same base folder eg. D:\Oven\
(with other words, you can delete any one of them without touching other since all use their own subfolder, or add all of them to the same base folder for the very same reason)
Azin\"Azin Configure"
Plugin you can select a project to build with (Today LiveSystemPro and WimBuilder)
Azin\"Azin Configure"
Plugin have "Configuration" Buttons for both LiveSystemPro and WimBuilder
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
Configure-LiveSystemPro:| LiveSystemPro has its own LSP-Script server, you can download LiveSystemPro scripts from its server using:
| LiveSystemPro\Utils\"Update Center"
| See: How to use the Update Center of LiveSystemPro :
http://TheOven.org/index.php?topic=3367.0|
| LiveSystemPro contains 4 projects,
| For today Azin works with LiveSystemPro Win10PE Win8PE Win7PE in future WinXPE
| (WinXPE - do not mix with other projects, I mean WinXPE Project distributed with LiveSystemPro which is a PE1 project ...)
| Configure LiveSystemPro the way you like following LiveSystemPro UI, It is quite easy to figure out.
|
| For more Info to configure LiveSystemPro, you can ask at
LiveSystemPro Section.

|
Configure-WimBuilder:| WimBuilder has web pages for WimBuilder patches and WimBuilder projects,
| check WimBuilder topic and webpages for patches and projects.
| For today there is only 1 project to be tested and supported by Azin for now (there seems 2 more on the way),
| in a future time will show.
|
|
Tip: WimBuilder-Left there you will see
|--> "Customize" --> Change "Patch Preset" to Full - Close WimBuilder - Click BluePlay Button
|---------> You will get a build with
A LOT of features. (Login As Admin, Remote Connect etc. etc.)
|
|
Tip: If you use WimBuilder Patch Preset-Default also
| Enable Customize-Configures-Build-->'WOW64 Support' to get your 32bit applications to work.
|
| For more Info to configure WimBuilder, you can ask at
WimBuilder Topic|

Azin:*
You can download other
Plugins from the server by using Azin\Downloads(Y)\"Download Plugins"
See
Adding 3rd party plugins: \Downloads\ - MyPlugins_Direct - Yomi TopicReminding not all
plugins on server,
You can also download or share individual
Plugins at
Plugin Section See:
Plugin Section*
Memo:
Azin Naturally Provides all options available by projects like "Login As Administrator", "Network Options" , "MMC" etc. etc.
As mentioned before, use Configuration Button to configure projects.
*
Proxy Users:+
If you made proxy settings before with one of the Projects -> Gena, Win7PESE, Win8PESE, Win8.1SE, Win10PESE
and extract Azin to the same folder,
no need to make Proxy settings again, It will work out of box.
+
If you are a new user or use Azin on a separate folder :
Check Utils(Y)\"Proxy Settings" and "Proxy Settings - WinHTTP"
PluginsAzin (default settings) for today
must Downloads ADK files (~ 10 MB)
once so you should at least make proxy setting with "Proxy Settings - WinHTTP"
Plugin.
and
better also use "Proxy Settings"
plugin so you can download required files by individual
plugins. (eg. App\Network\"Mozilla Firefox ESR (P)"
Plugin needs to download FireFox setup file)
*
Azin has a Simple Cache mechanism for some projects
Today Azin implement Simple Cache for both WimBuilder and LiveSystemPro
As a result, 2nd build will be faster
Today building with WimBuilder and LiveSystemPro using the same source,
2nd build naturally has ~same time results.
On my pc:
Source: Win10 1909 x64 (en-us)
Using normal 5600 rpm disk (not SSD)
WimBuilder and LiveSystemPro 2nd build: 6 minutes, 25 seconds
Kare report better result 5 min 20 seconds
Again proves the fact, I have a slow laptop.
slore report build is very slow on the first run (+15 min) on old pc with win7
slore reply 290
http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=2390.msg36513#msg36513It will be improved later with improvements using Azin-WimBuilder cases
With ssd disk, results will be a lot faster.
*
Azin supports Junction Target folders,
(Gena, Win7PESE, Win8PESE, Win8.1SE, Win10PESE also have this feature)
If you have an idea to build faster by putting all project to a "Ram Drive" (you have lots of ram to waste),
Keep in mind there is a better way without losing space (and on some cases files) by using "Ram Drive".
Only junction target folders to "Ram Drive".

With Azin, being able to easily use the same
plugins with all projects
( Today: LiveSystemPro-Win10PE, LiveSystemPro-Win8, LiveSystemPro-Win7, WimBuilder, Gena, Win7PESE, Win8PESE, Win8.1SE, Win10PESE
later: LiveSystemPro-WinXPE)
is quite fun,
and self Proves "Macro Library" and "
Plugin design" is close to perfect.
eg. "QtWeb"
Plugin, "7-Zip File Manager"
Plugin, "VirtualBox Emulation"
Plugin .....
*
Azin self proves "Macro Library" is
very
fast {see individual
plugin time at log after build
plugins (eg. Dism++
Plugin 1.565 seconds )}
and
very
flexible {now building
Plugins for WimBuilder and LiveSystemPro}
Azin also self proves Project Build times or how
plugins are written (slow or fast) is not related to "Macro Library" at all.
*
Azin is in fact small,
Inspecting Initial Azin Release (2020.01.24)
Inside 240.3 MB (zip compressed 188 MB)
-167.3 MB are
Plugins out of Azin {161.1 MB (Yomi) 3.1 MB My Plugins Direct 3.1 MB My Plugins) (not required to Build Azin)
-1.4 MB VirtualTest
Plugins (not required to Build Azin)
-0.3 MB Builder Language Files and info (not required to Build Azin)
-20 MB WimBuilder
-15MB LiveSystemPro
-31.0 MB Utils
Plugins help me a lot to create Azin without writing the same things again and again to create a project.
(Utils
Plugins are the same
Plugins for all 6 or 5 Projects and created and used before Azin, Self proves good design
)
-1.3 MB Macro Library
-0.9 MB builder
Shortly Azin is I guess 3.3 MB
with other words,
Minimum Azin to build both Projects:
3.3 (Azin) + 0.9 (builder) + 1.3 Macro Library+ 31 Utils + 20 (WimBuilder) + 15 (LiveSystemPro) =~ 71 MB uncompressed.
Naturally, numbers will increase with passing time like with all projects.
ps: Azin server also with only ~ 72 MB
*
Azin update by using server:
Use
Utils\"Update Project (Exact and Secure)"
Plugin--> Using "Update (Download + Copy)" Button will update Azin without downloading ~190 MB like with zip file.
Unlike other projects, to keep Azin updates small-sized (server ~72 MB uncompressed),
Azin server only holds Azin
Plugins, so better:
First Extract zip and later update with Utils\"Update Project (Exact and Secure)"
Plugin.

Azin Future:
Azin in its root (like Gena) provides a Layer to start a new project with everything ready at hand ('Macro Library' and all rest working
Plugins )
that makes it
very simple to create a project for a project admin. ( Self proof current Azin )
I am still slowly documenting related things when I find free time. (writing help document is boring but required)
It is now quite easier to create a project via Azin, I have some project ideas for the future.
**
Short History:
Azin Idea was there for years now (without project name) but I feel It will not be morally right to create such a thing years ago, Something rare happened and I was wrong.
Gena project has the roots of Azin's idea in its design (When creating Gena, the Idea was there to be ready to implement later .......),
developing Azin makes me remember times when we (Galapo, Lancelot) had created Gena ~10 years ago (~2010.09).
The project started quickly working at home but the name later was found by a friend at 2018.10.24 ~1:30 after we had lunch.
Creating a project at home is easy, preparing a hobby project ready to distribute to the public is not, and I do not have free time as before so all done very very slowly.
Honestly, I never wanted to create a public project and be a project admin since ~12 years,
working on post-core related things is still more fun for me on my hobby time.
Life always has other plans ...
**
Last Words:
Well, It is now quite easy to build with LiveSystemPro and WimBuilder with
Plugins,
make me feedback on both projects about things I notice during the build.
Let me know if you have a working
Plugin not working as before.
I am sure there will very rare cases and there are only a few lines to update.
Azin provides required things to create
Plugins with
simple syntax provided by "Macro Library".
ps: Azin First Public Release: 2020.01.24
