Setup Foundry
What the application does, how it uses a Windows source, and what it does not do.
since 0.9.7.6
Purpose
Setup Foundry creates installation media for your Windows installation. An ISO file serves as the source for the installation. We automate the download from Microsoft. Alternatively, you can select an existing ISO file.
Setup Foundry creates a nearly perfect Windows installation from your preferences. You set your user name. You choose the programs you want to install. In depth, Setup Foundry offers you many more settings. If you follow the defaults, you get a privacy-optimized, secure Windows environment. From your preferences, Setup Foundry creates an installation medium from which you can install virtual machines or new PCs.
Availability
Setup Foundry is a Windows program. We offer three versions. Free is for testing and getting to know the product. This version has limited options for creating an individual setup.
Notes
Setup Foundry is not cloning software. We always install from a Windows installation source and automate the process.
Your PC or your virtual machine goes through the complete Windows installation with minimal intervention.
We do not modify the installation source. The ISO file always stays in its original state and can be used to install in the conventional way.
Setup Foundry needs administrator rights only for certain functions. For those functions, Setup Foundry requests the permission when needed.
The result is a bootable USB drive or an ISO file.
