#79414 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 22 September 2009 - 05:43 PM in Projects

WimInfo.exe is a tool from Peter! I told him this error a few days ago, and he is working on it! :loleverybody:

Joshua


Sorry! I not really was working on it. I just postponed and then forgot! ;)

Now there is version #5, which hopefully fixed the issue.

#78169 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 12 September 2009 - 02:36 PM in Projects

;)
I caught the space - ;)

I moved my %BaseDir% around my PC:

German XP XP3, therefore 'documents and settings' >> 'Dokumente und Einstellungen'

%BaseDir%:
  • C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Neuer Ordner: works
  • C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Default User\Neuer Ordner: works
  • C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Neuer Ordner: works
  • C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Peter\Neuer Ordner: black screen
  • C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Peter\Desktop\Neuer Ordner: black screen
  • C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Administrator\Neuer Ordner: black screen
It looks like imagex has some troubles, if %baseDir% is under the profile directory of an existing user!

Posted by pscEx on 12 September 2009 - 10:58 AM in Projects

I also uses the same source CD and same indexes of the WIMs.
I mean, the problem is in the boot.wim builded with winbuilder when folder C:\Benutzer is used!

Joshua

Sorry for the misunderstanding!

If,ExistDir,"%BootSRC%\Windows",ShellExecute,Hide,"C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\Servicing\dism.exe"," /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:%BootSRC%#$q /discard"

Maybe it could work when you fix the syntax error: /MountDir:#$q%BootSrc%#$q

Posted by pscEx on 21 December 2009 - 04:38 PM in Projects

XP SP2

None that I am aware of. I am admin. LiveXP builds OK.

140GB
My WAIK is not in the default location, but I have updated the source. The win7 media is a mounted ISO. AV is disabled.

That tells no critical issues!

Can you spend some more patience and try the nativeEx_win7 project?
It has some fundamental own scripts, but uses many of Win7RecuePE scripts by links.
If you are interested, more about nativeEx_Win7

To download, add "nativeex.w07.net/win7" to the download server list.

Peter

Posted by pscEx on 23 December 2009 - 12:00 PM in Projects

I am getting the same sort of errors in script number 6.

So clearly there is a problem somewhere, the question is how to isolate the issue?
VW

Can you post a log?

#87547 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 22 December 2009 - 05:07 PM in Projects

Hi

I have tried to add NativeEx-Win7 to a Win7rescuePE following your sugestions
Now I can not delete NativeEx_Win7 Cache???

Started off with 58 mins then message access denied
try deleting workbench\nativeEx_Win7\Cache and i get a Cannot delete 1.0.0 Access is denied

I will delete files ,, this is just a FYI

Your post tells me that here something did not run as wanted.
Did you add nativeEx_Win7 project?
And did you run this project?

If yes, maybe there is an until now undetected bug in the project.
(If you cannot delete the cache, there is anywhere a file locked. Try to reboot and delete)

This topic brings me to think about "Remove ALL wim connections including registry, even if in use"

Peter



#78149 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 12 September 2009 - 10:41 AM in Projects

The problem is in boot.wim.
If i change it with boot.wim from other build, it works.
Now i have to compare the two versions. ;)

Joshua


;)

ctv99 uses in working and non-working build the same source CD and same indexes of the WIMs.
In gis case really only %BaseDir% is different.

Peter



#78100 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 11 September 2009 - 08:22 PM in Projects


working debug log

The difference is incredible (or :) )

For 95% are not the project's scripts but WinBuilder responsible.

Please give me some time for tests.

Peter



#77776 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 09 September 2009 - 06:50 PM in Projects

Very good idea! :(
Now need to find a way, how to do that! :(

Joshua

In the English RC1 CD there is inside CD:\support\logging one and only one subfolder, named en-us
In the German RC1 CD there is inside CD:\support\logging one and only one subfolder, named de-de

No idea about other languages, inspite it is very propable that the same mechanism is used.
But maybe a beginning ...

Peter

EDIT: Sorry, I should read more carefully :(

The question was not the language, the question was the 'Enterprise' version.



#77773 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 09 September 2009 - 06:24 PM in Projects

I think that it could be wise to check the indexes against source CD type and warn in certain situations.

Peter



#77659 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 08 September 2009 - 02:04 PM in Projects

Yes, no time to do this:

I am working on that! ;)
But the day have only 24 hours. ;)

Joshua

If it is not sufficient, do like me:

Use also the 12 hours of the night!

Peter :(



#77777 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 09 September 2009 - 06:59 PM in Projects

Just downloaded Windows7-Enterprise-German, and looked at both .wims with GImageX

Where now to download this?

I think the download time slot ended around aug-20?

Peter



#77846 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 10 September 2009 - 11:35 AM in Projects

I found a solution! ;)
Sometimes it is easy! :(
@all
download new: 0-preconfig.script test, and give feedback!

Joshua

The solution works!

But it is disappointing for a user to get during build the message
" ... Try different install.wim container ..."
He used factory settings! :(

An intelligent project should handle this.

What do you think about following test code
[variables]

 

 [process]

 Echo,%SourceDir%

 IniRead%SourceDir%\sources\product.ini,BuildInfo,Staged,%var%

 StrFormat,REPLACE,%var%,#$c,##$c,%var%

 Echo,%var%
With two different source CDs there are two different results:


Posted Image Q:\CDs Standard\W7_32_DE_RC1
Posted Image IniRead - [Q:\CDs Standard\W7_32_DE_RC1\sources\product.ini] Section [BuildInfo] Key [Staged] to variable: [%var%] with value [STARTER,HOMEBASIC,HOMEPREMIUM,PROFESSIONAL,ULTIMATE]
Posted Image StrFormat - converted [REPLACE(%var%,,,#$c)] to variable: [%var%] with result: [STARTER,HOMEBASIC,HOMEPREMIUM,PROFESSIONAL,ULTIMATE]
Posted Image STARTER,HOMEBASIC,HOMEPREMIUM,PROFESSIONAL,ULTIMATE

and

Posted Image Q:\CDs Standard\W7_32_DE_ENT_7600
Posted Image IniRead - [Q:\CDs Standard\W7_32_DE_ENT_7600\sources\product.ini] Section [BuildInfo] Key [Staged] to variable: [%var%] with value [ENTERPRISE]
Posted Image StrFormat - converted [REPLACE(%var%,,,#$c)] to variable: [%var%] with result: [ENTERPRISE]
Posted Image ENTERPRISE

Now there is only necessary:
StrFormat,POS,%var%,ENTERPRISE,%pos%

 If,NOT,%pos%,EQUAL,0,Set,%container%,?

 Else,Set,%Container%,?
and use %container% when mounting the WIM.

#78088 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 11 September 2009 - 07:45 PM in Projects

errors all fixed by moving build folder to root of hdd

Great for you, but as WB developer I now have some troubles / questions / doubts:

My build folder is: "V:\wb\wb debug" and it works fine in all cases.

What's the difference? :)

If the space under some conditions really causes troubles, I have to fix that.
Are you willing to help me?
Maybe we need a lot of tests. But that should PMed.

Peter

Fine that th issue is solved.

But for me one question is open:

Maybe Haighong enters his CP and tells us a 'Flag'

#87771 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 24 December 2009 - 04:14 PM in Projects

Currently I cannot understand (yet).

I tried with the Win7 source you have.

One sample line:
You:
Posted Image I/O error 32: [FileCopy,"%b32%\*.bmp","%t32%\"]
Me:
Posted Image FileCopy - Copied [%BaseDir%\Workbench\nativeEx_Win7\Cache\Boot_2_en-US_0_6.1.7600.16385.0\Windows\system32\*.bmp] to: [%BaseDir%\Target\nativeEx_Win7\Windows\system32\]

Something is different. Maybe you have a corrupted CD. Maybe the cache directory is corrupted.

From the log I cannot see more information.

Unfortunatelly one rule is valid: As long as necessary files are missing, do not be astonished about a BSOD.

Maybe you try a different source CD and start with a fresh WinBuilder install directory.

Sorry that I cannot give the "final solution" here.

Merry xmas!

Peter

Edit:
I remember that several weeks ago I tried to install a (legally, from Microsoft) downloaded Win7 ISO, and the install failed telling me about missing files.
A new download could be used.

Maybe here is some similar ...



#87543 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 22 December 2009 - 04:38 PM in Projects

Today I had to fight with a new bug.

In Finalize\4-iso.script several times the WinBuilder command(?) "DeleteFile" is used.

But "DeleteFile" is no WinBuilder command. It should be "FileDelete".

I wonder how the wanted result has been reached with this bug.
Maybe the delete is not really necessary.
Maybe that explains some "unexplainable" results.

I'm going to fix on the server.

Peter



#97563 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 10 April 2010 - 06:13 PM in Projects

if u can, i need all scripts u have, thanks :cheers:

@asdfghjklo: I'm not sure what you hope to get besides the files inside the upload I made (see previous post).

@al-jo: It is very nice that you spend the time to upload the project step by step. We need such helpful members :)
Just a hint: Before you upload more scripts:

Download my uploaded project (Takes much less time than uploading everything item by item).

Compare and upload only the missing items.

Peter :cheers:



#87774 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 24 December 2009 - 04:53 PM in Projects

Addon to my previous post:

Maybe that WinBuilder or a certain Script have troubles with special physical configurations.

Please tell me "everything" about HDD / removable drive / file system / compressed, ...
for the directories of %SourceDir%, %ProjectCache% and %TargetDir%.

Posted by pscEx on 24 March 2010 - 07:35 PM in Projects

My Build PC is: Windows Vista Business SP1

Maybe here is the root5 of all evil.
I developp on XP 32 bit.
And maybe other hosts make troubles.
32 or 64 bit?
I have a test partition Vista SP(???) 64 bit.

But unfortunatelly I do not have 32 Vista bit to test.

#100156 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 14 May 2010 - 08:09 PM in Projects

wiminfo.exe applacation error. did not start properly. I get taht error when i try to shut down my system. i hit cancelshutdown. and a windows taht says information Getinfo wimfiles with returned 3221225794 check source directory

If it did not even come up with a cmd window, I assume that the wiminfo.exe is corrupted.

I suggest to re-download the whole project into a fresh folder.

Peter



#100161 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 14 May 2010 - 08:30 PM in Projects

ok when setting it to open and not hide the cmd displays, and a window opens to click run, click run twice, getinfo works when clicking play, same prompts. I was right clicking and running as admin this whole time, and i also set permissions on the folder and subfolders for full access. What are those 2 prompts?

Step by step:
  • You changed the Hide to Open
  • You clicked the 'Get Info' button.
  • And a cmd window appears asking you to click 'Run' ?
Something like this is not programmed in WimInfo.exe.

Again: Do a fresh install into a new empty directory and try again.

Peter



#120195 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 23 January 2011 - 09:56 PM in Projects

Thanks for the answer.

It is the same error without ”Run ISO in VMware”

Anyway, I'm waiting soon for the new version of Peter. :whistling:

Sorry, I forgot to report:

I did a Win7Rescue minimum build (no additional apps).
Here the error did not appear.

Maybe Al_Jo's last answer is important. I have the 4 in my build, too.
But maybe there is only one special app needing the dll in question.
And here you have the (Sorry, German) "Schwarzen Peter". To find the app by adding / removing apps from the build, you can do as well as me.

Peter :cheers:



#100165 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 14 May 2010 - 08:55 PM in Projects

well teh build errored on wget.exe system error the program can't start becuase MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.


At least were making progress.

That does not look well!

MSVCR71.dll is a fundamental M$ file. That one on my system has date of 2003!

What is your host OS?

Something NLited? or Warez? or did you have several crashes with lost files?

Peter



#95727 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 24 March 2010 - 06:59 PM in Projects

you also have to download the win7rescuepe project

My Fault!!!!

I assume that also new members are on the level of my knowledge!

Sorry!

Peter

BTW: But to give me a SMALL excuse: Anywhere I already explained ...



#97323 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 08 April 2010 - 05:34 PM in Projects

Sporadically we have a lot of troubles in connecting to WinBuilder, any subdomain, not only this one.

Seems to depend on frequence DOS attacks.

There only patiece helps.

#95700 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 24 March 2010 - 05:00 PM in Projects

Hey Guys,
1st time poster here so please bear with me. I'm seeing the exact same error as boandgo was seeing. I unchecked the "stop build on error" and I do get a cd image. However, when I boot it I get the wallpaper, and I get a mouse cursor for a moment.. then the system reboots. I'm going to post my log here, hopefully someone with more experience could take a look and guide me to something that I should change.

Thanks,
Clif

What you did, is understandable, but not the right way.

When you get an error during build, and build stops, then something serious occurred.
You cannot simply say "forget the error and continue".
(This is implemented for developers, where the just created scripts can have a couple of issues).

When in expanding some script attached files, an error occurs, usually there is something wrong with either:
  • The script itself. Then you should re-download the script
  • Your host hardware: Many possible reasons: Not enough space; Target not writable; ... This unfortunatelly you have to find out by yourself.

Sorry that I cannot give you the "Final Solution" here, but I do not mind to answer all questions (look into my signature about "stupid questions")

Peter



#88975 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 17 January 2010 - 05:21 PM in Projects

Afaik there are still some issues with shortcuts ... shortcuts from programs that run from ram are ok, but other shortcuts may disappear.
I think, Peter is on the right way with his project because there I never had this problem, he wrote a script to set the correct shortcuts:
http://www.boot-land...?showtopic=9753

Let me add a comment:

I made the mistake to include the "programs" folder into boot.wim.
In this 'wrong' builds all shortcuts worked.

After fixing "Programs" on CD / USB, there have still been some troubles with shortcuts.
That is fixed now, but not yet uploaded.

But there is an additional issue: Sample: In my configuration MMC shortcuts do not work allways.
Here in [process] the line RunFromRam,True was missing.
Edit:
Depending on the history before processing MMC.script, Therefore the default "False" is used and the shortcuts have been written to the wrong place.

Every script author should make sure that this definition is written as first [process] line.

Peter

Hi DaveXP!

From the past I have the opinion that you are experienced enough, to include a log in you support question :lol:

Unfortunatelly in the mean time I still have had no success in "Bring my Magic Crystal Ball to work"

#93432 [NotActiveProject] Win7RescuePE

Posted by pscEx on 05 March 2010 - 09:37 PM in Projects

...
I already explained you in detail on Icq and I wrote you if you want, it is better to open a topic and discuss on a seperate topic. Again Thanks for understanding.

As written many many many many many times before, these are only small fixes to avoid repeatedly posted issues IF YOU READ the topic. :cheers: :whistling: ;)

Independent of our ICQ discussions (which I started with a "Please: Try like i think "Not help on every request" only upload when there is a REAL bug") .
And independent how you understood my 'no': Nobody besides Joshua can give you the right to add a script to his project.

BTW: The number of 'many' has no influence on the fact that an admin is not allowed to add a script to the project of a member!

Peter

this is not about the scripts psc, its about the loader...sure we do not want to remove joshuas name from anything...

I think that the peloader used in Win7RescuePE is composed by Joshua, or am I wrong?

What's this nonsense about the little devil cursor?!
Never heared that any boss cared about stuff like that, on tools for internal use.
Tell your boss, it's eighter Win7RescuePE with devil or WinPE3 without. B)

The devil is something like the author's logo!
And I would NEVER remove it when I use his project, or use it as base for my own addons.

#72994 Win7PE with Winbuilder 74 & 76

Posted by pscEx on 29 July 2009 - 04:26 PM in Win7PE

After updating with the new script when I play my build it doesn't create/copy any .wim files to my build, any ideas? Does this have to do with the 'pre-config' boot.wim and install.wim containers?

Thanks..

Sorry, currently my magic crystal ball is out of order.

To get an idea about your troubles, please, post your log.html

Any explanation how the black screen is caused (I currently have none, and am fishing in the dark)?

If yes, I'll try to suggest you for the next Nobel Price, Oscar, ... :)

#73017 Win7PE with Winbuilder 74 & 76

Posted by pscEx on 29 July 2009 - 06:37 PM in Win7PE

Here ya go :P

Your log shows that copying of gpedit.msc was not successfull. and the build stopped therefore.
I cannot decide why. But maybe this file is not essential for the PE.
@yahooUK: you should check and maybe correct :idea: :)
@Corio: Try in WinBuilder > Tools > Options >> uncheck 'Stop Build on Error' and rebuild.

If this PE runs well, the 'gpedit' should be a different topic.

Peter



#71897 Win7PE with Winbuilder 74 & 76

Posted by pscEx on 16 July 2009 - 08:08 AM in Win7PE

@onycs!

I have the (crazy) idea that the black screen can be caused by a NTFS compressed %BaseDir%.

Can you please check whether your 'bad' %basedir% is compressed, while the 'good' is not?

If yes, try to uncompress the 'bad' dir and try again.

Thanks

Peter



#73030 Win7PE with Winbuilder 74 & 76

Posted by pscEx on 29 July 2009 - 08:17 PM in Win7PE

Actually, I've changed the Install.wim container to 5.
Because 5 means Ultimate edition for 32bit.
If you are using 64bit, changed it to 4, might be Ultimate, not sure because I don't have 64bit one.
If you are using containter 2, there is no gpedit.msc there.
I intend to change background image so I have added gpedit.msc.
You can comment it out, it is harmless to your build.

Thanks,

yahooUK

Maybe you give some explanations in the appropiate GUI, what the result of choosing which container?

gpedit.msc: As far as I see, this is a real candidate for
If,EXISTFILE,<blabla>\gpedit.msc,Copyfile ....

Is it right that explorer processing is remarkably slower. On the other hand processing of 'copy files' is remarkably faster.

I'll observe this and try to find which internal process used especially for explorer, might be slowed down.

Maybe that helped in your case, but I'm sure that the path name is NOT the reason for the troubles. Maybe that the project went correctly now, because some other conditions, like some Temp contents etc. also has been changed or deleted during install to the new directory.

The WinBuilder development team members have intentionally the %BaseDir% = "?:\WB Debug". For me is ? = V.

I also have had sometimes the black screen, but that always had to do with some environment issues, maybe a not correctly mounted WIM, or missing mui files and similar.

In my opinion

is a rumor.
(Provided that there is no file to copy which exceeds the Windows defined maximum length of a path name. But in my oppinion with Win7PE that cannot happen with most 'simple names'. If on the other hand your %BaseDir% is like "X:\My base Installation directory to test WinBulder\This is for testing Vista\And this is for testing SP1\And a lot of other definitions ...", maybe the maximum path length can be reached. But in this case WinBuilder brings an error message.)

If you find a project which UNCHANGED runs at a 'simple' folder, and fails at a 'complex' folder, please post BOTH complete projects (even if you think that they are identical).

I would be glad to have the possibility to catch a new ;) .

Peter

Thanks to onycs :lol:
He sent me a DVD containing a lot of material to examine.

What I found:

Different BCDs are written.

The Black Screen BCD is corrupted (?) The first part of the path 'C:\Users\****\Documents\*****\WinBu' is lost.
(names overwritten by me with *)
35 characters, no 'binary' number.
Win7_Compare_Black.gif

The BCD of the booting ISO is ok:
Win7_Compare_Boots.gif

The Black Screen is really path dependent. But I cannot see the 'How' yet.
Therefore my questions to the Vista / Win7 experts:

Is that difference relevant?
Where in the project (and how) BCD is written / changed?

Posted by pscEx on 14 March 2011 - 05:31 PM in Win7PE

Hello everyone,

I successfully built a Win7 PE build however am running into a couple walls.

First of all the default build uses the BSD Devil mouse cursor for the busy cursor and I would like to change this since it will not fly in my environment (Personlly I don't care). I have looked all over the web and cannot find any information on how to change the cursors.

Second when I try to place an icon on the desktop it does not seem to work using standard winbuilder commands. The MMC addon seems to place it's shortcut fine, and when I use the same method nothing happens.

Add_Shortcut,StartMenu,Ghost,,Symantec Ghost
Add_Shortcut,Desktop,,,Symantec Ghost

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Talven81

The devil mouse: as far as I know, it is only used in Joshua's Win7RecuePE. So, if you use that as base, you have to live with it. But you can use every other Win7PE project as base for your development.

The "Add_Shortcut" is NOT standard WinBuilder command. It is a command using the "Common_API". The "Common_API" is developed to make it easy to add apps to different PEs.

To use the common API successfully for shortcuts, inside your script (e.g. for Ghost) you must define:

[Variables]

%ProgramTitle%=Ghost (or something other valid)

%ProgramEXE%=Ghost.exe (or something other valid)

%ProgramFolder%=Ghost (or something other valid)

What I meant with 'difficult to find':

I know that the project can be got by using WinBuilder's download manager.

But I think as a 'foolish' new user wanting to download your project.

This topic tells a lot about the Win7PE project, but NOWHERE (exception your last post) there is a link where to get -or did I oversee a link?
And in the 'standard WinBuilder' this link is not included yet.
In my opinion you should edit the first post and add the link there, better, explain how to add it to WinBuilder's download center.

This helps new users to get your project, and not to say 'forget it' because they cannot find it.

Made one change and now it builds fine!!

Instead of building on my Windows 7 RTM machine, I copied the whole build folder over to a Windows XP machine and it builds fine - so perhaps part of these problems is simply what OS you are building on?

Will now boot the ISO and report back if it works okay

Is your machine 64 bit?

If yes, maybe a new issue for the '64 bit' topic.

My scripts are horrible or something is going wrong???

I cannot say that your scripts are horrible, (they in deed are interesting and promizing some new solution) but sometimes they seem to be ... :idea:
Seriously:
The project is not only tested by experienced members like you and me.
The project is also tested by new members or guests with a low level of WinBuilder experience.

You should do everything possible that a new user cannot make unwanted mistakes.

If. e.g for some new scripts WB 077 RC2 or later is necessary, include in the script something like
If,%version%,SMALLER.77,Halt,&#34;For this script WinBuilder Version 077 or higher is needed&#34;

BTW: To unmount an 'left orphan' mounted WIM, there should be a command in one of the earliest scripts like:
If,EXISTFILE,<some typical WIM file in mounted WIM>,Run,%ScriptFile%,&#34;UnMount the WIM&#34;

BTW2: It is very difficult to find the latest version of your project.
What about to add a link to the latest version to your signature?

As we are currently speaking about future:

Mainly @Joshua:

Pedro's API in cooperation with a section inside the nativeEx buildModel.Script generates a 'general shortcut description (INI style) file' like this:
&#91;Created&#93;

Program=shortcutParse

Version=1.1.2

&#91;Shortcut&#93;

targetDir=V&#58;\WB\wb debug\Workbench\nativeEx_barebone\UserData

modelDir=V&#58;\WB\wb debug\Workbench\nativeEx_barebone\UserData

shortCutName=WinServices

shortCutType=SM

shortCutLocation=Develop

shortCutExe=%SystemDrive%\Programme\WinServices\WinServices.exe

shortCutToolTip=

shortCutParameters=

shortCutShow=

shortCutDir=%SystemDrive%\Programme\WinServices\

shortCutHotKey=

shortCutIconFile=

shortCutIcon=0
After that, in the nativeEx world the section [Add-Shortcut] of the %ActiveScript% is called to creatwe the shell depending shortcuts.
%ActiveShell% is usually explorer, but there also exists e.g. such a (working) section in the xoblite.Script which I wrote for sample.

Could it be possible to generate shortcuts using such a 'general description'?

After building the project successful under XP SP3 32bit host, I made a new test:

Copied the COMPLETE WinBuilder directory to a Vista 64bit host.

I built the project, and got the same result Brian Hoover reported some posts ago.

A compare of the generated ISO showed, that under the 64 bit host the boot.wim was remarkable smaller that one from the 32 bit host.

My opinion:

This seems to be an issue of 'Building a WinBuilder project under 64 bit host'
Here are the same mechanisms active, which Lancelot successful fixed in LiveXP.

To make his fixes possible, WinBuilder already offers some help to work with 'Running WinBuilder in a 64 bit host environment'
  • The Variables
    • %Wow64%
    • %Wow64Dir%
    • %Programs64%
  • The commands
    • System,REGREDIRECT
    • System,FILEREDIRECT
The currently only open issue is that under Wow64 the %ProgramFiles% MUST be written in lowercase as %programfiles%
That cannot be handled by WinBuilder, but has to be defined in the individual scripts using this Variable.

I'm sure that with help of these explanations in some days also the Win7PE can be build on 64 bit hosts.

@YahooUK:
To avoid disappointment and support questins, before these fixes are active:

Just add under [process] in script.project:
If,%Wow64%,EQUAL,True,Begin
Set,%Msg%,"Sorry, this project cannot (yet) be built under 64 bit host"
Halt,%msg%
End

Peter

EDIT: Sorry: exchanged the line
If,%Wow64%,EQUAL,False,Begin
to
If,%Wow64%,EQUAL,True,Begin

The 'False' has been for my test, because I'm working under 32 bit

I had a story to tell you. Three men was separately travelling on a mountain. They were run out of water and felt very thirsty but no where to find a water. First one luckily found out a water pot under a banyan tree. He went straight there and drank the water and left the journey. After he left, second man saw the pot and he drank the water and prayed for whom filled the water in. And then he left for the journey. Soon after the last man arrived there. He drank and took the water as much as he could and broke the pot just for fun.

Just curious
Maybe my English is too bad, maybe I do not understand your association:

Who is the third man here:
  • Me (If me, I do not have the feeling, but please tell me by PM, why)
  • You
  • Nuno

I disagree!

Not to your sentence, but to the fact if it is true.
Maybe you remember that, whenever I saw such a file attached to a script, I asked the author to remove.

But there are so many scripts...
And I look not into all of them...
Especially in this actual project I only 'Run it' to see whether it works for me.

Note MS components should not be redistributed. That includes any component from the WAIK. Only legal way to use any component from the WAIK is to download the WAIK from MS

You misunderstood.

It is never intended to distribute any file of the WAIK.

And RAW means: Also not using wimgapi.dll. :)

You only need this installed if it is the source.

Are you sure that you have logically no WAIK installed?

Have a look into the temp directory.

If there are the files imagex.exe, wimfltr.sys, wimfltr.inf, wimgapi.dll, you have the WAIK 'logically installed'.

In my opinion that is the highlight (but then with compression) for WinBuilder 080.

Restart, Turn off, Computer, Control Penel are prettily working in start menu.
Desktop background is black but you can change it in ControlPenel\change DesktopBackground as solid Color, sorry not working image as default.
DirectX11 script is included but not sure because not tested well.
DotNetFrame script is from VistaPE and it works some part of it, please try to use and report errors here as some experts can help you. It takes about 400mb of space, so compare your time and space.
FireSharing script is included but not working yet, as left for some experts here, :)
Control Penel is working parts of it, but I left for ControlPenel master, :) you know who he is and you know who you are. (Ludovici :( )
I've included some scripts from here and there and all credits are for whom did it.
For rest of scripts, I left for Script Master Max_Real Qnx, is it possible? :) :(
Many thanks to all other Experts (booty#1, guru, Nuno, MedEvil, Paraglider, NightMan, Jaclaz, and so on) as well as all members of this forum.
Hope it is a good fun for testing it. (Please forgive me if I left expert names, because there are so many experts here.) :( :)

You can download from Hereor add server in your builder. win7pe.winbuilder.net/projects

@Nuno
I've edited my first page as you would like me to do so, and thank to MedEvil for your advice. I hope you like it. :( :(

B Regards,

yahooUK

Thanks, yahoouk! :(

Unfortunatelly I have a lot of download issues.

first: win7pe.winbuilder.net/projects is really a win7pe.winbuilder.net/Projects (and the server reacts case sensitive)
second: If I define this server and try to download, I get a lot of error messages about "could not download' and "failed integrity check"

"could not download" maybe also a ucase / lcase discrepancy between updates.ini and the real name on the server
"failed integrity check" tells about a serious file compare problem. On the server there is a different file md5 than reported by updates.ini.

I do not want to agress you, but: Did you, and if yes, how?, actualize updates.ini on the server?

For the mean time, just to go further, I suggest, that you also upload a .ZIP of the complete project.

I did not use "must" word in my post. Because sometimes WB skips something. e.g. cscui.dll file. Sometimes it is not been copied even it is obviously in the folder. So I commented that line.
Sometime WB unmounted the wim file, I mean imageX. I am sure some people would have experienced with that mount error in starting it.
I'm not sure what is wrong with it. WB bug or source bug. Therefore, I recommend the simplest way and the way least error occurs during process. I am not arguring with any body. I run this project over hundreds of time before uploading.

And your project folder should be in root e.g c:\7pe d:\7pe e:\7pe ect.

@yahoouk!

As you se on my 'thanks', I appriciate your post very much.

It is something that in my opinion has also been necessary (but never given) for the logical parent of your project.

And the explanation is clear and understandable.

But as usual, one complain.

The requirements
  • Must be in the root
  • Must not contain spaces
are not requirements of WinBuilder.
Maybe that is only a rumor or remainder of some old bugs from the early 52th to the late 72th
Maybe that is 'proofed' by a erroneous script. But then the script MUST be corrected.

Fact is: The WinBuilder development team has INTENTIONALLY the WinBuilder develop %BaseDir% directory, in my case V:\WB\wb debug)
  • Not on C:
  • Having a space in the name
And there never have been troubles with this directory.
As you can see some posts above, I did a very successful build of the latest Win7PE in this %BaseDir%

@yahoouk: Your recommendation about the %BaseDir% path implies a hint on a bug of WinBuilder, which really does not exist.

Please do me a favour and edit.

TXTAddLine,"X:\Windows\System32\autorun.cmd","#$qregedit.exe /s x:\Windows\System32\SideBySideXn5.reg#$q"

But no result in my autorun.cmd ? :)

You forgot to tell WinBuilder where to place the line! :angry:

TXTAddLine,Filenam,StringLine,APPEND
TXTAddLine,Filenam,StringLine,PLACE,LineNumber
TXTAddLine,Filenam,StringLine,PREPEND

"Now it is ready for download from http://win7pe.winbuilder.net.".
why don`t open this website?

That's the root of the server, which appearentyl is non-public.

The whole project can be found at http://win7pe.winbuilder.net/Projects/
Or try this link in WinBuilder's download center.

@yahoouk: You should update the link!

I agree to JonF

In 'Factory setting' shortcuts should be at a 'logical' place.

For me between 'shortcut' and 'net' there is no logical relationship.

@yahoouk: Please do not worry in this early stage to make a couple of changes (including the spent hours).

That makes your project 'professional' and open for future addons.

Is anyone using Winbuilder 077 RC 1 yet for building Win7PE?

Brian H.

Yes ;)
http://homepages.tes...no-answers.html

I think you also are courious for some results:

I built with RC1 and sources W7_32_EN_RC1 and W7_32_DE_RC1.

The project was minimized. Only PEShell and qDir, no explorer, no drivers etc.

Both showed the same result: The Win7_PE autorun window came up and remained empty.

After about one minute I killed it, and then I had the working PEShell and could start qDir.

Suggestions for 7 - Create ISO:

1. Replace the [Interface] section with:


and replace the [Grub4DosMGR] section with:

Adding a file to menu.lst is needed because the entire menu.lst file is deleted and created after all other scripts have run. If someone wants to add a script (such as Parted Magic) that needs an entry in menu.lst, it has to write some other file that CreateIso will then add.

Of course, if two scripts want to add entries to menu.lst there is a problem ... they have to agree on what extra file to write their entires in. I think that the creation of the beginning of menu.lst should be moved to some place early in the build, as it was in VistaPE. Then scripts can add their entries directly.

2. Update Grub4DOS to version 0.4.4 2009-05-23, Memtest+ to version 2.11, and memdisk to version 3.82.

Here's a copy of the resulting script file:

Looks good (As far as I can see from GUI)! ;)

Maybe that me fool will understand GRUB and WIM and WIN7 and WPEINIT and IKEEXT and ... and ... and other strange things in some Latin weeks.

I'm working on that. My interest in my nativeEx baby decreased a lot last days.

It's the same like with human parents.

When your children join other son and daughter-in-law with different interests, then it is better to let them live their life ...

I'm rather outside and sure that you see the details better than me.

I only wanted to tell some doubts:

Do you think I need to change those variables to compactable with all projects working?

If you replace the NEED by SHOULD: A clear YES

Without changing, all projects are not working anymore?

The suggestion only affects Win7PE. If you (do not) do anything, no other project is disturbed in any way.

Doing Win7PE Project, why the words "Win7pe" can't be used as variables?

If you look into different projects, they do not use the project name as (a part of) the variable name, but as the variable value.

And that is what Pedro suggests.

Sample, I know that you do not use it, and it has no connection to a real world, just to explain:
Do NEVER use %Win7PE%=%BaseDir%\Win7PE
Use instead %MyProject%=%BaseDir%\Win7PE.

I mean I have given tons of hours to work all my scripts, files and registries.
And finally, these scripts did work, and have worked, and are working, and will work.
I like some ideas in your scripts but not variables.
My scripts are working with Vista as well as Windows 2008, I suppose.(not tested but I'm sure)
Therefore my variables are not possible to change under your idea now and never.

@YahooUK:

I do not demand, I do not recommend, I do not suggest. I only as friend tell you something very quietly:
Please think again about Pedro's suggestion.

The vision is:

Any (well written) app script from nativeEx world, Vista world, ??? world can be inserted into Win7PE w/o any adaption.
That is an exciting target, and you can help to reach it.

at me in "Finalize/USBDevice.script"
the line

ShellExecute,Open,&#34;%BaseDir%\Temp\HPUSBFW.exe&#34; -f,&#34;#$q%pFileBox1% #$q&#34;
doesn't work
i have to change into
ShellExecute,Open,&#34;%BaseDir%\Temp\HPUSBFW.exe&#34;

Is the space behind %pFileBox1% just a typo here, or is it in the real command?

And the ShellExecute cmmd syntax is ...<exe><comma><parameters>
I think, it should be like (Sorry, I do not know the exact hpusbfw syntax)
ShellExecute,Open,&#34;%BaseDir%\Temp\HPUSBFW.exe&#34;,&#34;-f#$c#$s#$q%pFileBox1%#$q&#34;

#69069 Win7PE with Winbuilder 74 & 76

Posted by pscEx on 06 June 2009 - 09:10 PM in Win7PE

A question for all:

We now have two projects which are based on non-XP sources and many projects based on XP sources. Sometimes scripts need to know which type of source is being used.

I've been using

[cpde]StrFormat,Left,%ProjectName%,7,%Project_Type%
If,%Project_Type%,Equal,VistaPE,Begin[/code]

but that doesn't work in Win7PE.

How should we standardze this?

In nativeEx based projects there are some variables defined in script.project
(Sample, I do not know whether complete)
%OS%=XP

%SourceLocale%=00000407

%Locale%=00000407

%DefaultLayout%=00000407

%spCabFile%=SP3.cab

%drCabFile%=driver.cab

%OSSubType%=Pro

%OSServicePack%=SP3
Maybe in Vista / Win7 projects the same variables should be introduced.
Maybe a question of API, to perform some currently project specific tasks like (nativeEx) ProjectInfo.Script

I can't seem to get it to build cleanly running with WAIK, on win7 x64.

Since some days I'm trying to bring it to run under host Vista 64.
And since today under W7 RC1 64, too

Result until now: Build is error free, ISO starts, but when starting Win7PE from startup menu, the screen becomes black with a living mouse cursor.
Sorry, currently only a build on a 32 bit host os is possible.

Also, where do I get the project now? I see no zip file that I can just grab like I used to... I have winbuilder 76 but your project does not show up in the list... which sucks.

In the WinBuilder download center, you can download the project from the server "win7pe.winbuilder.net/Projects".
If this server is not in the list, you can manually add it (Then it will remain in your list 'for ever'). Take care on uc / lc letters.

I meant attach of devcon.exe, not the download command.

IMO commenting out the command is either just a minor failure of YahooUK, or there are some troubles with the URL and he decided not to activate yet.

Have problem with WinBuilder 77 beta 2.

The process stop at a command "DirCopy", I don't know whether or not it is the problem of WinBuilder 77 beta 2.


Testing under VirtualBox v2.2.2
--------------------------------------
VirtualBox Client - Windows 7 RC (Eng)
Win 7 DVD Source - Windows 7 RC (Eng)
WALK - Walk 3.0 beta (Eng)

Previous to that error there is a warning that the WIMs are not mounted.
So the directory to copy does not exist and the error is ok.

@yahoouk: The project should stop at the warning already.

So no wildcards support in Beta 3, is it right?



Not clear what you mean. My reading is so bad.
Sorry.

Thanks for your reply.

B Regards,

yahooUK

Your quote has been incomplete, and that can lead to misunderstandings.
It should be:

If in a FileCopy command with wildcards no file has been copied, 077B3 gives an error, while older versions do not.


Maybe it's my fault, I should better have written:

If in a FileCopy command with wildcards no matching file for copy has been found, ...


Of course, there is still wildcard support!

Try in codebox
&#91;process&#93;

	 If,Not,EXISTDIR,%BaseDir%\CopyTest,DirMake,%BaseDir%\CopyTest

	 FileCopy,%WindowsDir%\System32\*ga*,%BaseDir%\CopyTest

	 FileCopy,%WindowsDir%\System32\*xxx*,%BaseDir%\CopyTest
The '*ga*' line will copy a lot of files.

The '*xxx*' line will give an error, because there is no *xxx* file.

To avoid the error message, use
&#91;process&#93;

	 If,Not,EXISTDIR,%BaseDir%\CopyTest,DirMake,%BaseDir%\CopyTest

	 FileCopy,%WindowsDir%\System32\*ga*,%BaseDir%\CopyTest

	 System,ERROROFF

	 FileCopy,%WindowsDir%\System32\*xxx*,%BaseDir%\CopyTest

Peter

BTW: WB 074 copies with the line
FileCopy,&#34;%iw%\winsxs\*pwindowmanager.udwm*&#34;,&#34;%tx%\&#34;
no file.

WB 077 beta3 copies with the line
FileCopy,&#34;%iw%\winsxs\*pwindowmanager.udwm*&#34;,&#34;%tx%\&#34;
also no no file, but gives an error.

I'm sure that some files should be copied here.

That is the situation I meant with

If there would't be this error, you would never see a misspell of the file name / path, and you could search for days, why your project does not work.

error filecopy in WB77b3.
Please see attached log.

If in a FileCopy command with wildcards no file has been copied, 077B3 gives an error, while older versions do not.
This is the same reaction like for FileCopy a single file.

If there would't be this error, you would never see a misspell of the file name / path, and you could search for days, why your project does not work.

If in a command there it is possible that there are no files to copy, you can write as previous command:
System,ERROROFF

@Psc,

Maybe winbuilder should have an option to update the progress bar during FileCopy. Don't want to have to look at an ugly command window whilst doing the build.

This morning I've had the same idea.
Results:
Filecopy with wildcards can have an additional argument 'SHOW'.
ShellExecute can have an additional argument 'SHOW'.

Boy, I can't build Win7PE to save my life. Downloaded everyting using WinBuilder 077 beta 2 (076 won't download from the Win7 server). Built with WinBuilder 076, on Vista Ultimate x86, latest WAIK installed, building from Windows 7 RC1. But it never copies the BootWimSource! Then all sorts of horrible stuff happens.

To get more information, in '0 - Preconfig' add check for exitcode in MountWin7-imagex
&#91;MountWin7-imagex&#93;

Echo,&#34;Mounting Windows Win7 files with imagex.exe...&#34;

ShellExecute,Hide,&#34;#$q%IMAGEX%#$q&#34;,&#34;/mount #$q%SDIR%\sources\boot.wim#$q %pScrollBox1% #$q%BootSRC%#$q&#34;

If,Not,%ExitCode%,EQUAL,0,Message,&#34;Mount returned with %ExitCode%&#34;,INFORMATION

##

ShellExecute,Hide,&#34;#$q%IMAGEX%#$q&#34;,&#34;/mount #$q%SDIR%\sources\install.wim#$q %pScrollBox2% #$q%InstallSRC%#$q&#34;

If,Not,%ExitCode%,EQUAL,0,Message,&#34;Mount returned with %ExitCode%&#34;,INFORMATION

##
Whenever the exitcode is not zero, something has been wronfg during mount.

Code 2 means, that the mount directory already exists from a previous pass. I don't know whether then there are unpredictable results.
