Need a guide to integrate DiskCryptor

DiskCryptor (https://github.com/DavidXanatos/DiskCryptor) is as good as it gets when it comes to free full drive encryption that is fast, secure, and reliable, but integrating DiskCryptor into Windows OS offline image seems impossible. The author of DiskCryptor doesn't provide guidance on how to do it and suggests to simply use Windows 2 Go or just portable Windows OS installation, but in either case, DiskCryptor has to be installed after completed Windows installation and initial user profile generation.

Normal DiskCryptor installation involves drivers and boot filters with dependencies on native Windows OS filter drivers, such as FltMgr, but I think registry entries change based on user ID. Integrating drivers alone is not enough to make it work and importing boot filtering registry entries from existing user entries results in unbootable image.

Any ideas on how to properly inegrate DiskCryptor into Windows OS offline image with NTLite?
 
How do I say this politely? DC docs are MIA. I've never used it, but the best advice is probably this thread:

Skip to Live USB / W10. Ignore everything that relates to ADK, you're using NTLite.

1. Step #3, copy the contents to dcrypt.reg. Import this reg file to your loaded image.
2. Step #10, but copy DC's files relative to NTLite's mounted image's \Program Files and \Windows\System32\Drivers folders.
3. Unload the image, saving all changes. This forces your local file changes to be applied.
4. Run \Program Files\dcrypt\dcrypt in Post-Setup.
5. Do whatever DC commands you're supposed to do next, on the installed PC or add to Post-Setup if possible.
