Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/oerg866/win98-quickinstall/issues/86

Followed the default quick install on an Asus P3B-F motherboard that has support in the bios for ACPI. ACPI is not being detected or installed (this is used to put the pc to sleep, and also detects pressing the power button and performing a proper windows shutdown).

There isn't an option to install ACPI, but if I force a windows install using "setup /p j" this will enable power options for ACPI.

Can an ACPI option be added to the quick install menu?

I see this was mentioned in another thread. Would still be great if ACPI could be an option! Thank so much for your work! :)

It's sadly not possible until a real way is found to alter the registry from the installer (current way is hacky and stores two copies of the registry in the install image)
