This version now has grub4dos menus for the Vista/7/8/2K8/2012 menus.
The .iso files will now be listed in a grub4dos menu instead of the console window.
In addition, you can create a .txt file if you want a nice name to appear in the menu instead of the filename - just like for the MainMenu and AUTO folder functionality.
e.g. two files:
Windows_8_64_Preview.iso
Windows_8_64_Preview.txt
contents of Windows_8_64_Preview.txt:
title Windows 8 64-bit Developers Preview\n Use this for a demonstration of Windows 8
In addition there is a bugfix (thanks halikus!) for anyone using an NTFS formatted Easy2Boot drive.
Also, you can now have all your product keys in one file. Look in the Win8 and SVR2012 folders for a Pick_from_a_list.key file. You can edit this file to add all of your keys. Here is what it looks like:
Just add more lines or change the ones that are there already.
If you have just a few keys then make .key files for each one (see sample files) and delete the Pick_from_a_list.key file. If you only want to pick from a list, delete all the other .key files to avoid confusion.
With the help of several people and after testing myself for most of the day (!!!phew!!!), I hope all the bugs have now mostly been ironed out. Test scenarios include (I have not done every one of these in every combination!):

- Easy2Boot USB Flash FAT32
- Easy2Boot USB Flash NTFS
- Easy2Boot USB HDD FAT32 + NTFS Helper flash drive
- Easy2Boot USB HDD NTFS + FAT32 Helper flash drive
For each of these.... - XP install using 2-Step firadisk process
- XP install using WinPE
- Vista install with Easy2Boot unattend.xml file
- Vista install with sample xml file
- <ditto> for 7 and SVR2K8R2
- <ditto> for 8 and SVR2012 + pick a key
- <ditto> for 8 and SVR2012 + use user xml
- <ditto> for 8 and SVR2012 + enter a key manually
