Ability to add multiple Windows Vista, 7, 8, Server 2008/2012 sources from ISO file.updated wimlib to 1.5.3 which would also fix the issues with the first 1.0 versions (downloaded before 14.Nov.2013) and NT6 sources.A self extracting SFX archive is added instead

removed the ZIP archive as it seems some users tend to launch the program directly from the Windows zip folder view, rather than extracting all files and folders.

Linux sources would not work with PLoP loaded as it supports only read mode

added check in boot menu for Linux sources to warn if PLoP is loaded.

fixed recognition of Windows 8.1 sources which contain INSTALL.ESD instead of INSTALL.WIM.
