Hey, I added a small .NET (UNTESTED) app for make the DUET/REFIND USB.

the preview..

Updated the application able to setup the USB for DUET and REFIND, the size is greatly increased.

I like either of them to be honest. I have not tried it yet, just too busy lately.

How do I use the program?

I CD to the duet folder as admin, then I use "C:\duet>usbsetup.exe", and then the program starts, but I keep getting the below error.

"diskpart is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

Do I need to move the duet folder to the system32 folder or something, and then CD into that first?

EDIT: Ok, I figured it out. It works except for the "BOOT" button comes up with an error. Also, the flash drive was not marked "active" so I still had to use diskpart to make it active. The CLEAN, FORMAT, DUET and REFIND buttons all worked as intended. I did not try the "Cancel" button.

To get the UI program to work, I just copied my "duet" folder to system32 and then set admin permissions on the USBsetup.exe file, and gave it a Desktop shortcut. Launches and runs fine except as stated before the BOOT button spits out an error about file not found or something...

The USBSetup.exe require the ADMIN privilege and all the pre-existent directory and file in place to work, so, you should just run it from the unpacked (DUET_UDK2017_REFIND) archive by double-clicking on it.

The application sequence for DUET and (optional) REFIND (NON-UEFI BIOS)

Well like I said, it did NOT work from the unpacked archive as is. It didn't work from the download folder or from the root of C drive either. It ONLY worked from the system32 folder and only after giving it admin permission. If I just downloaded it and unpacked it and then double click on the usbsetup it just says "diskpart is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file... Error" like I stated in the above post in the striked out area.

I can't run diskpart from anywhere but the system32 folder, even with a admin command prompt. I'm running the latest Windows 10 x64 pro. Again, your instructions above do not work unless I physically move the duet folder to the system32 directory.

Is that more clearly stated? My English should be easy to understand. Lol

Quick question, what is the BOOT button supposed to do? It does NOT work, I just get a popup error message.

@SkOrPn

Dunno, just checked (desktop folder) on WIN10 (1709 16299.334) and it should run like in WIN7.

Diskpart is used only to issue the CLEAN command. Without hitting the CLEAN command, you shouldn't receive that error, is the EXE version up to 1.0.0.4?
The MBR WRITE (BOOT) could randomly fail, but you could restore the USB with DISKPART (CLEAN) under WIN10, so, perhaps it's the WIN10 awesomeness or something in conflict, dunno.

OK, I did a lot of testing. The unpacked duet directory is very picky. The BOOT button ONLY WORKS from the root of C: drive, but it will NOT work from system32 or any other directory, including the downloads directory.

The CLEAN and FORMAT buttons ONLY works from the system32 directory, and NOT from any other directory.

The DUET and REFIND buttons work no matter where the DUET folder is placed.

Might be space on the path.

I tried sending you a personal message, but after typing it out and hitting the send button it just DISAPPEARED. So I have no Sent Box apparently, so I can't offer my personal contact info because this websites PM system is broken.

EDIT: Maybe you have it setup to run from the desktop? I will copy the folder to my desktop and try from there.
EDIT2: Ok, it does NOT work from my desktop either. Still says "diskpart is not recognized".

I'll fix that (-maybe), thanks for the report, the issue could be invalid character ( like space and stuff ) on the directory path.

I've updated the USBSetup to 1.0.0.5. It should supposedly work without moving files around?

Could you check if the application is locked, under one of the property tab? Usually both's FORMAT&CLEAN are not safe to be prompted from some random application, could be a security setting, or something since it doesn't happens here.
Eventually, I can point to the system folder, unless the above work, if %SystemRoot%\system32 is indeed already registered on the environment variable ( system property tab ).
Also, be careful with the D:\ drive on view within the screenshot. The USBSetup.exe in reality target any removable disk, not just USB type.
