SuperISOUpdater2

SuperISOUpdater2 is a Windows-friendly tool to conveniently update all of your ISO files for Ventoy and other bootable media. This is an upgrade of SuperISOUpdater, with new features and improved reliability. :)

Features

• Automatic download and update of popular OS and utility ISOs
• Robust download with resume, retries, and integrity checks
• Easy to use on Windows (no Linux knowledge required)
• CLI interface with retry options (-r 10 for 10 retries, -r ALL for infinite retries)
• Modern Python 3.10+ codebase

Installation (Windows)

1. Install Python 3.10 or newer from python.org.
2. Download or clone this repository.
3. Open Command Prompt in the project folder.
4. Install required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

5. (Optional) To install as a command:

   pip install .
   

Usage (Windows)

You do not need to install the package to use it! After installing the requirements, you can run the updater directly:

python sisou2.py /path_to_ventoy [options]

If it is installed, you can use the binaries anywhere !

sisou2 /path_to_ventoy [options]

Installation & Usage (Linux, recommended: pipx)

The recommended way to install and use SuperISOUpdater2 on Linux is with pipx:

1. Install SuperISOUpdater2 with pipx

Just run this in your project directory:

sh linux_install_with_pipx.sh

This script will install pipx if needed and set up the command for you.

2. Run the updater from anywhere

sisou2 /path_to_ventoy [options]

If you want to use a virtual environment instead (portable, only on ext4):

sh create_venv_for_linux.sh
.venv/bin/python sisou2.py /path_to_ventoy [options]

Examples

• Retry up to 10 times:

  python sisou2.py D:\path\to\ventoy -r 10
  

• Infinite retries:

  python sisou2.py D:\path\to\ventoy -r ALL
  

Configuration

Edit config.toml.default to customize which ISOs are updated and where they are stored. (The config will copy itself to the ventoy location)

Uninstallation

Windows:

If you installed with pip:

pip uninstall superisoupdater2

If you only used requirements.txt, just delete the project folder.

If installed with pipx (Linux):

pipx uninstall sisou2
