#83563 %appdata% not expanded

Posted by pscEx on 04 November 2009 - 04:29 PM in LiveXP

shortly:
All folders defined at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\WB-Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
are not created by nativEx core.

Version 84 of BuildModel.Script creates these folders.

Downloadable from the nativeEx server.

BTW: If you look into Projectinfo.ini at [TargetStrings]: There are some new entries.

#83515 %appdata% not expanded

Posted by pscEx on 04 November 2009 - 08:38 AM in LiveXP

Hi Dera,

Thanks indeed for that!

Adding the key and value in my booted PE and then initiating a environment change broadcast to the system got the variable working.

Needed variables to be added under 'HKCU\Volatile Environment' should be: appdata, homedrive, and homepath.

Now, which script should add these at build-time? 3 - hivesFactory.Script or 4 - BuildModel.Script or something else?

Thanks,
Galapo.

I suggest BuildModel.
It already sets "UserProfile"

@Lancelot: I do not understand the issue with the appdata folder.

In the nativEx PE there are appdata folders for "All Users" and "Default User"

#83521 %appdata% not expanded

Posted by pscEx on 04 November 2009 - 10:24 AM in LiveXP

Windows OS and applications work by receiving and processing messages.

Simple message e.g. "A button is clicked". The app receiving this message now does something.

When windows receives the message "The environment has been changed", it refreshes the environment variables.

#83551 %appdata% not expanded

Posted by pscEx on 04 November 2009 - 02:49 PM in LiveXP

When building a (nativeEx based) PE:
  • Include the script Basic > Build > 5 - TempPE.script
  • Check the checkbox "Run BroadcastEnvChange.exe on boot to initialise %temp% variables correctly"
Inside the running PE:
  • Do the registry changes Galapo described
  • execute the program BroadcastEnvChange.exe

#166745 %HostOS% For Windows 8 32/64-Bit

Posted by pscEx on 28 January 2013 - 07:10 PM in Bugs on the latest stable edition of WinBuilder.exe

That you can download since several hours from http://nativeex.exec...Builder_83.zip. And you can use it, provided you have the friends password.

 

About 'cannot say': see my post above.

#166683 %HostOS% For Windows 8 32/64-Bit

Posted by pscEx on 27 January 2013 - 04:18 PM in Bugs on the latest stable edition of WinBuilder.exe

The answer is simple: When WinBuilder 82 has been published, a regular Win8 host was not yet known. :cheers:

 

Here the code to evaluate %HostOS%:

procedure GetWinVersion;
var
  osVerInfo: TOSVersionInfo;
  majorVersion, minorVersion: Integer;
begin
  osVerInfo.dwOSVersionInfoSize := SizeOf(TOSVersionInfo);
  if GetVersionEx(osVerInfo) then
  begin
    minorVersion := osVerInfo.dwMinorVersion;
    majorVersion := osVerInfo.dwMajorVersion;
    if majorVersion <= 4 then
      HostOS := 'NT'
    else if (majorVersion = 5) and (minorVersion = 0) then
      HostOS := 'W2000'
    else if (majorVersion = 5) and (minorVersion = 1) then
      HostOS := 'XP'
    else if (majorVersion = 5) and (minorVersion = 2) then
      HostOS := 'W2003'
    else if (majorVersion = 6) and (minorVersion = 0) then
      HostOS := 'Vista'
    else if (majorVersion = 6) and (minorVersion = 1) then
      HostOS := 'Win7';
  end;
end;

The 'Hidden' issue:

Never intended to have WinBuilder files hidden. I do not have any opinion what happens when an Admin starts a hidden App, or the app wants to access a hidden file.

#166735 %HostOS% For Windows 8 32/64-Bit

Posted by pscEx on 28 January 2013 - 06:04 PM in Bugs on the latest stable edition of WinBuilder.exe

As long as you only want to detect client os then your code is ok. However server os like w2008r2, w2012 share the same major / minor versions as the client os. You also should look at wProductType:

 

http://msdn.microsof...3(v=vs.85).aspx

You are right, but IMHO it is not reasonable to create a new variable %HostOSType% telling the user about the functionality (client / server / domain controller) of the host in the network.

I do not know any WinBuilder script where this information is needed.

 

BTW: The title of this topic tells about 'latest stable ...'. This is currently WinBuilder 082. Max's video shows use of 083.

To avoid misunderstandings: 083 is not supported by the WinBuilder author Nuno Brito. It is currently only tolerated by him.

BTW2: For me, I added Win8 detection in my 'private' WinBuilder 083.

#81223 %ISOFile%

Posted by pscEx on 08 October 2009 - 11:31 AM in Tutorials

In the [Main] section of script.project there is an entry like:

ISOFile=%BaseDir%\ISO\%ProjectTitle%\%ProjectTitle%.iso

On project build, single file process, or CodeBox process, WinBuilder evaluates this line and defines 3 global variables:
  • %ISOFile% - the complete path, e.g. %BaseDir%\ISO\nativeEx_barebone\nativeEx_barebone.iso
  • %ISOFileName% the file name only, e.g. nativeEx_barebone.iso
  • %ISODir% - the folder only, e.g. %BaseDir%\ISO\nativeEx_barebone
Rule #1: Never access [Main] ISOFile from a script! Use the suited variables instead!
Rule #2: Never change one of these variables!

How to work with these variables
Let me stay with nativeEx_barebone as sample project.

In ProjectInfo.Script two new internal variables are defined:
StrFormat,FILENAME,%IsoFile%,%tmp%

 StrFormat,EXT,%tmp%,%ext%

 StrFormat,REPLACE,%tmp%,%ext%,,%tmp%

 Set,%ISORootName%,%tmp%,PERMANENT

 Set,%RamISORootName%,%tmp%_RAM,PERMANENT

In this sample it will result with:
  • %ISORootName% = nativeEx_barebone
  • %RAMISORootName% = nativeEx_barebone_RAM
All ISO producing scripts like CreateISO.Script, RAMBoot.script, use these variables to define %burnISO%.
E.g. in RAMBoot.script:
Set,%burnISO%,%ISODir%\%RamISORootName%.iso,PERMANENT

Rule #3: In ISO producing scripts, only use %ISORootName% and %RAMISORootName%, and define %burnISO% permanent!

ALL ISO using scripts
  • Emulators qEmu.Script,VirtualBox.script, VMWare.script
  • Burning scripts like CDRecord.Script
use only %burnISO%

Rule #4: In ISO reading scripts, only use %burnISO%!

#78180 %pTextBox% in WB078

Posted by pscEx on 12 September 2009 - 04:53 PM in Support

Not really, had the same idea and therefore tested the script in a nativeEx-build with same result.

Mainecoon

Sorry, I tested not really. That has been only my opinion from the code when I fixed the bug.

So: Currently (WB078 SP1) has some troubles with second interface.

I do not have any idea why it works at joshua. (Magician ? :) )

Peter



#78208 %pTextBox% in WB078

Posted by pscEx on 12 September 2009 - 07:54 PM in Support

Yes, that's working.

So there is a difference running a single script either with the green arrow or a special button in interface?

MaineCoon


Edit:
'arrow' instead of 'button'

You are describing the bug I fixed :)

Peter



#78174 %pTextBox% in WB078

Posted by pscEx on 12 September 2009 - 03:47 PM in Support

For me it does not work!

Again :) ?

Looks like a bug!

Peter



#78177 %pTextBox% in WB078

Posted by pscEx on 12 September 2009 - 04:38 PM in Support

I think that it works when executed in a build, but does not work when executed as single run.

Therefore it is currently not nice to test but will work in a real build.

I fixed the bug.

Peter



#140554 %Target_Prog%

Posted by pscEx on 29 October 2011 - 08:08 PM in Win7PE

%Target_Prog% can have both values (or e.g. in the multiPE project) three different values.

It depends on, from where the app should run: RAM or CD or boot media.
So the value is changed dynamically by different app scripts.

It is set / changed inside the project by several commands.
Example from win7pe_se:

BuildCDDrive_X_Y.script(44): Set,%Target_Prog%,"%TargetDir%Program Files",Permanent
BuildCDDrive_X_Y.script(53): Set,%Target_Prog%,"%TargetDir%Program#$sFiles",Permanent
BuildCDDrive_X_Y.script(58): Set,%Target_Prog%,"%TargetDir%Programs",Permanent
BuildCDDrive_X_Y.script(65): Set,%Target_Prog%,%TargetDir%Programs,Permanent
BuildCDDrive_X_Y.script(75): Set,%Target_Prog%,%TargetDir%Programs,Permanent
BuildCommon_Api.script(1118): Set,%Target_Prog%,%RFCD_TargetDir%#4
BuildCommon_Api.script(1166): Set,%Target_Prog%,%TargetDir%Program#$sFiles
BuildCommon_Api.script(1189): If,%loc%,Equal,#$psystemdrive#$p,Set,%Target_Prog%,%TargetDir%%RFRM_Programs%
BuildCommon_Api.script(1190): Else,Set,%Target_Prog%,%TargetProfilesBaseDir%%RFRM_Programs%
BuildCommon_Api.script(1214): Set,%Target_Prog%,#1
Componentspenetwork.script(95): If,%ForceAllToRam%,Equal,Yes,Set,%Target_Prog%,"%TargetDir%Program#$sFiles"
Componentspenetwork.script(176): If,%ForceAllToRam%,Equal,Yes,Set,%Target_Prog%,"%TargetDir%Program Files"

So, do not worry about the actual value, just use %Target_Prog%.
That, independent from the actual project, in a well organized project gives the guarantee, that in the final PE "Everything fits"

#99639 !WBVerify.Script - time?

Posted by pscEx on 09 May 2010 - 11:28 AM in LiveXP

There something (I do not yet know, what) is wrong.

Verify should run within several seconds.

You can uncheck Verify (it is not necessary to build the project) and run the project again. Then we can see whether there is an issue with your environment, or with verify.

#191244 "Request"

Posted by pscEx on 10 March 2015 - 06:01 PM in Site feedback

This post:

You know what ? Frell it, I'm just gonna "juggle" those CD's.

But if someone would provide\point to a tutorial and a WinBuilder (preferably GUI one) version, that it works with, and a step by step (♪ oh, baby ♪) tutorial for making plugins, I would appreciate, and (probably) use it when I have more time.


Thank you all, for (trying to) help.

gave me the impulse to react here.

 

For those who do not know me: I'm one of the first members of this forum, joined 14 Jul 2006.

 

Since that time I'm besides Nuno co-developer of the Winbuilder (delphi edition).

When in 2013 the new Winbuilder 20?? was published, I was main composer.

 

The time I spent to develop WinBuilder, has been nearly "full time", because I was retired and had no more professional intentions.

And I did not do this work in order to earn money.

 

Since that time besides two 5 Euro / 10 Euro donations I did dot get any money for my work.

 

So as a result: I do not feel well, when somebody demands for additions for something he got for free.

He should try to develop the wanted results with the community.

#146619 "Steal" These Current Paragon Scripts

Posted by pscEx on 16 January 2012 - 05:51 PM in App Scripts

What you suggest is possible without any changes on winbuilder.exe - all one would need to do is automatically scrap the list of files available right now and then create an updates.ini file that would make them available as a download server. Then it would just be needed to change the default server list to also provide these files as option.

Sorry Nuno,

that's not as easy as you think.

I tried it some month ago. But the download portal contains the data only in some "inconsistent" way.
Attached a snapshoot of today. As you see, many scripts are missing, including that ones by Arvy / TheHive.

Maybe some portal changes can be done to help here.

I'll be unavailable for several weeks.

Peter



#146668 "Steal" These Current Paragon Scripts

Posted by pscEx on 17 January 2012 - 03:06 PM in App Scripts

Well, if scrapping the contents from the page doesn't work then why not reading this directly from the mysql database?

A script could run on the server side and produce the updates.ini while grabbing the data directly from our database. I'm not sure if this is possible but seems feasible to accomplish.

What do you think? :)


Sounds reasonable :clap:

#173827 'Hit any key to boot from CD' Issue

Posted by pscEx on 19 June 2013 - 06:33 PM in MultiPE

:good:

Thanks! I'm going into the code more in detail tomorrow.

 

Maybe the "DirDelete, ... FAST" got some uncatched troubles ...

 

Did you already test without all non-MultiPE scripts, to be sure that the issue is not influenced from one of them?

#173756 'Hit any key to boot from CD' Issue

Posted by pscEx on 18 June 2013 - 03:10 PM in MultiPE

I tried with building a PE1 and PE3 with unchecked ckeckbox: bootfix.bin is not on the CD. Therefore the question is not asked during boot.

 

Please give the (zipped) log.html. I think, as a new member you are not allowed to upload to the forum directly. You may choose any web service providing upload space, and telling the URL here.

 

The project is still active, but  I spend most time in the new WinBuilder generation, which will be published soon.

 

Peter




#173802 'Hit any key to boot from CD' Issue

Posted by pscEx on 19 June 2013 - 02:38 PM in MultiPE

In the second log there is no report about copying bootfix.bin to the target.

 

Can you please uncheck all non-MultiPE scripts, and tell whether the issue still occurs.

 

Peter




#173764 'Hit any key to boot from CD' Issue

Posted by pscEx on 18 June 2013 - 05:14 PM in MultiPE

Thanks, maybe I have had a small black out somewhen.

 

But to really decide what is wrong, I need the log of a COMPLETE build, without your patch.

#76105 'huun' is not a vaild integer value

Posted by pscEx on 27 August 2009 - 02:29 PM in LiveXP

@psc
nothing changed on server maintance for a long while (If my mind right, since before 076), only livexp server now have error with "'hunn' is not a valid integer value" when wb076 used, sth about genUpdates.exe ?? or ???


I checked with WB 076 and got the same error.
  • Yes, it is propably caused by genUpdates.exe, but genUpdates.exe writes code for WB 077 and higher ...
    The problematic line is:

    Acronis-TrueImage91Workstation.Script=LiveXP/Apps/HD Tasks/Imaging/Acronis-TrueImage91Workstation.Script,f5070b0fcd357838b47cb13c01167d2d,012,Acronis True Image Workstation 9.1,Adds#$sAcronis#$sTrue#$sImage#$sWorkstation#$c#$swith#$soptional#$sUniversal#$sRestore.#$sFeatures

  • No, I cannot make genUpdates.exe down compatible
I do not know what causes the 'misunderstanding' in WB 076, but try to change that line in the script.
It is rather complicated with commas, semicolons(?) and spaces ...
As first trial I would remove the point-comma before Galapo
As second trial the apostrophe at Thunn's
As third trial I would remove the semicolon behind galapo

#76135 'huun' is not a vaild integer value

Posted by pscEx on 27 August 2009 - 04:24 PM in LiveXP

I fixed the bug in genUpdate.exe.

Simply changed
fields = &#39;<md5><Version><Title><<Description>><<Author>><Contact><Length><Download_Level>&#39;;
to
fields = &#39;<md5><Version><<Title>><<Description>><<Author>><Contact><Length><Download_Level>&#39;;
<< means 'encode' spaces and other specials.

@Lancelot:
New version uploaded at known place.

#76124 'huun' is not a vaild integer value

Posted by pscEx on 27 August 2009 - 03:58 PM in LiveXP

I found, the script that caused trouble is OODefrag10-11-12-api.Script


Thanks Lancelot!

You are a real bug catcher!

There is a bug in genUpdate.exe:

It does not encode spaces and commas in the title, while the original WB 'Generate new web server' does.

I'll fix it soon.

Peter



#76120 'huun' is not a vaild integer value

Posted by pscEx on 27 August 2009 - 03:48 PM in LiveXP

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

That has been a suggestion for Lancelot to change the uploaded file list.

#87540 "Mounting Windows Win7 boot.wim files with imagex.exe... "1

Posted by pscEx on 22 December 2009 - 04:19 PM in Win7PE

Currently I do not know any PE running when using "PE" of boot.wim.

You MUST use the "Setup" image, whichever index it has.

BTW: Different to the statement in the previous post, I find your log very helpful. It tells an experienced user that here is an issue which is already described many times in the forum:
Your script.project is missing a line

&#40;Inside &#91;Process&#93;&#41;

 AddVariables,%API%,ApiVar,GLOBAL
When Pedrole15 changed the API due to this ApiVar, he explained in the forum.

But unfortunatelly several project authors do not take care on such "hidden" hints.

#87599 "Mounting Windows Win7 boot.wim files with imagex.exe... "1

Posted by pscEx on 22 December 2009 - 10:19 PM in Win7PE

I do not agree with fixing things from the roof down, I don't agree with offering suggestions to change code as was done here.

I fully agree with your opinion!
(BTW: about your 'Roof' look into my signature ;) )
I also usually say: "Fresh download, no changes besides 'source CD' ..."

You are right, but maybe wrong, too
Here we sometimes have results / appearences etc. which are not explainable on the first view.
And in such cases it can help when the user tries 'crazy patches'. When they work, maybe that helps to find a bug anywhere ...

Peter



#87556 "Mounting Windows Win7 boot.wim files with imagex.exe... "1

Posted by pscEx on 22 December 2009 - 05:36 PM in Win7PE

you have not querried the wim images indexes in. First press the Getinfo button, ...

The "GetInfo" is a function, I'm developing with Joshua (Win7RescuePE).
Besides that, there are currently no communications with other authors.
So, if you have some troubles in a project different from Win7RescuePE (which tries to use this functionality), do not worry, ask the project's author to go into contact with me and to solve the issue.

#68388 "Vanilla" Live XP

Posted by pscEx on 27 May 2009 - 10:42 AM in Requests

How can I build a "vanilla" live XP? All the projects seem to customize and personalize it.

Also, how come WinBuilder comes with QEMU and imgburn but no default project?

My English is not sufficient to understand this.

What does "vanilla" mean?

WinBuilder download comes 'exe only' no qEmu, no imgburn.

Such tools are (or are not) included in the different projects. To include them is the decision of the project's creator.

Hier ist sich der script-Autor wohl sicher, dass durch das Überschreiben kein anderes script evtl. nicht mehr richtig funktioniert.

#99550 (Solved) booting nativeEx Barebone by PXE

Posted by pscEx on 07 May 2010 - 07:03 AM in NativeEx

Like the name says, nativeEx_barebone is a very small project only containing the nativeEx Core, that is the mechanism to use all language dependent stuff from the source CD, and to boot in an emulator.

USB keyboard and mouse support is included, but not activated in factory settings.

Network is supported by hostNIC.script.
After booting the PE, this app catches the host's NIC driver and copies it to the PE. PENetwork then installs it like other drivers which are already in the PE during boot.
Of course the PE's system directories must be writable, e.g, using FBWF or Boot From RAM, or starting from USB pen.
Starting from ISO cannot use hostNIC.

(For emulators there are NIC drivers for qEmu, VirtualBox, VMWare: qEmu driver is activated in factory settings, the other ones have to be activated by user click. Here hostNic is not necessary and does not help.)

There is no support for ATA and audio.

LiveXP uses nativeEx as basis.
Said exaggerated, it is a nativeEx_barebone project with appended drivers and apps.

#99339 (Solved) booting nativeEx Barebone by PXE

Posted by pscEx on 03 May 2010 - 08:54 PM in NativeEx

As already told, I'm really not an expert in PXE, but I would now compare the txtesup.sif built by BartPE and nativeEx.

To do tests, you must not rebuild the whole project. Just change the actual txtsetup.sif in the target directory and rebuild the PE with the nativeEx >> Tools >> Finalize batch script.

Peter



#99315 (Solved) booting nativeEx Barebone by PXE

Posted by pscEx on 03 May 2010 - 10:08 AM in NativeEx

After several hours and build fails, i learned that i first had to install the Imdisk virtual disk driver (it would have been "nice" if this was mentioned somewhere in the script´s documentation).

Thanks for the hint, and excuse for my negligence.

The warning is now included in the GUI and will be uploaded soon.

To your real question I cannot help because I'm unfamilar with the PXE functionality.

But for me BootPath = "\i386\System32\" is ununderstandable, because the main boot files are in \I386.

Peter

BTW: I moved your post to the NativeEx forum.

#155024 *.ini association mystery.

Posted by pscEx on 22 May 2012 - 04:03 PM in Development

In multiPE I created a notepad++ script and associated *.ini, *.txt, *.log with it.

While this works fine in a PE2 and PE3, in a PE1 it works with *.txt and *.log only.
For *.ini Notepad.exe is used.

When I check wit RegEditWB, all command lines are defined correctly when building the target:

"...NotepadPPNotePad++.exe" "%1"


In the running PE1 in the registry the command for *.ini is just "notepad.exe %1"

I need your experience with that.
Do you know whether explorer during boot sets some defaults?
If yes, how can I avoid this "feature"?

#77408 078 - 078SP1 AddVariables+iniwrite comma

Posted by pscEx on 06 September 2009 - 04:49 PM in Development

On the first view it looks like a bug.
But it is not one.
It is just a more strict interpretation of the rules: Commas separate parameters, they should not be inside.

When the interpretation should be more week, all checks for possible 'violations' and the corresponding corrections have to be made for every script line.

You can fix the issue by using
&#91;savevar&#93;

 StrFormat,REPLACE,%#1%,#$c,##$c,%NoComma%

 IniWrite,&#34;%sav%\vars.ini&#34;,&#34;Variables&#34;,#$p#1#$p,&#34;%NoComma%&#34;

#97207 080 bug: imagex.exe retuns with 2, access violation

Posted by pscEx on 07 April 2010 - 06:02 PM in Bugs on the latest stable edition of WinBuilder.exe

Wimserv.exe is only running when a wim is mounted.

The troubles you have had are propably caused by rebooting when a wim is mounted.

After that the directory cannot be deleted.

But you can "remount" and then "unmount", which deletes the old mount directory.

#128263 3 Errors I get

Posted by pscEx on 08 May 2011 - 03:12 PM in Win7PE

First off I would like to thank everyone who has helped me with WinBuilder. I have gotten just about everything down and done BUT when I click the Play button wINbUILDER START ITS PROCESS AND THEN STOPS AND GIVES ME THESE 3 ERRORS..

-Error with mounting source!
-Error with mounting Boot.wim!
-Build stopped due to error.

It is like WinBuilder says:
There is an error when trying to mount boot.wim.

There are some possible reasons:
It may still be mounted from a previous interrupted build.
The target directory for the mount is not accessable.
Imagex.exe is not compatible with your OS.
etc. ...

The first reason is the most propable. Try to unmount the directory in a cmd window:

<path>ImageX.exe /unmount %BootSRC%
%BootSRC% you can find in your log.html.

You can also try manually
<path>ImageX.exe /mount <source CD>\sources\boot.wim %WimIndexBoot% %BootSRC%
That may tell you the root of the issue.
%WimIndexBoot% is also in log.html

I tried under XP x86 and XP x64 a command like generated in the PE:

hiderun /w cmd /c md %Temp%\myTest.

In both cases the correct result:
hiderun.gif

There must be something else outside the primary responsibility of hiderun.

#99378 3 ghost folders

Posted by pscEx on 04 May 2010 - 05:38 PM in LiveXP

It's a bug with Peter's version of hiderun.exe. I tested with the old version of hiderun.exe and folder creation and junctioning works as intended.

I cannot really agree to 'bug' :cheers:

It is more a 'sophisticated use of the possibilities, Billy the Door offers' :lol:
What happens:

hiderun passes parameters to the app it starts. When passing, all parameters containing spaces, are embedded in quotes.
In this case there is a parameter %Temp%\something. This parameter does not contain a space, therefore no quotes.

But now Billy's cmd resolves %Temp% to 'Documents and settings', and this contains spaces!

And an undocumented feature of md generates 3 folders 'Documents', 'and' and 'settings'. (If you type md /? in a cmd window, you see that only one folder in Billy's opinion is created)

BTW: '%Temp%\something with space' already contains a space, gets the quotes, and is processed as expected.

I solved the issue by examinating the parameters whether they contain an environment variable. If yes, I check the value of that variable. If it contains spaces, the parameter is enclosed in quotes.

The new hiderun programs are downloadable in the nativeEx project, Tools subfolder.

http://nativeex.boot...derunEx_x64.exe
http://nativeex.boot...derunEx_x86.exe

Peter

BTW: Did somebody try what happens when the registry entry is 0x2 rather than 0x1?



#99423 3 ghost folders

Posted by pscEx on 05 May 2010 - 09:43 AM in LiveXP

So what should we do -- overwrite hiderunEx_x86.exe and hiderunEx_x64.exe with these other files (leaving scripts untouched), or create new hiderun_x86.exe and hiderun_x64.exe (and modify scripts accordingly)?

Thanks,
Galapo.

Overwrite!
I can miss 'my' files. I built them just only to help with the missing x64 one.

Upload to LiveXP server. Then I'll download and upload to nativeEx server.

BTW: In 'recommended' LiveXP download there are two scripts having 'any undefined' hiderun.exe attached:

Suchen nach: -hiderun

I'd really like to know the reason too so we can learn a bit more here.

As for the cmd windows appearing, check your code to make sure you're using winmain() rather than main().

Regards,
Galapo.

I use _tmain, because the app works with the TCHAR mechanism: ANSI chars for x86 and Wide chars for x64.

Is there any link to explain winmain versus main? Perhaps I can compare with _tmain.

Let's hope we don't have to revisit hiderun again.

The never ending story ...

I have to disappoint you:

When I build the nativeEx_barebone "Run From RAM" PE, this PE comes up with several (5 to 10, I did not count) popups that hiderun.exe comes from an unknown supplier. That does not happen with my 'rebuild'.

@Galapo: Can you please recompile also the x86 version, inspite of the size?

Peter



#99480 3 ghost folders

Posted by pscEx on 06 May 2010 - 06:48 AM in LiveXP

Hi Peter,

I tested the original 2kb version but could not get the 'unknown supplier' popups to appear. I wonder why they do?

I recompiled with version information and uploaded here:

http://galapo.boot-l...hiderun_x86.exe
http://galapo.boot-l...hiderun_x64.exe

Also uploaded to the LiveXP server but with 'Ex' suffix.

Regards,

In 'standard' PE I do not get it, too.

As said above, it appears with nativeEx_barebone 'BootFromRAM.Script'.

With the cecompiled version it still appears.

#85972 64 Bit or not 64Bit XP?

Posted by pscEx on 03 December 2009 - 07:37 PM in Hardware compatibility / drivers

My experience:

I installed on a 64bit 2core 2.5GB intel PC with 2GB memory several OS-s, just to test my WB development.

As a result: 64 bit Vista and Win7 seem to run remarkably faster, with xp x64 I do not have any experience (I do not have that CD yet).

But 'extended' from Vista and Win7, IMHO XP x64 could be the better choice. (You have to remember that XP 64 is really Win2003 x64!)

#86690 64bit emulation without hardware virtualization (VT)

This should mean that the 0.10.x incompatibility is just with BOOTMGR (or other Windows PE 2/3.x booting file) :rolleyes:

I have the (currently not yet completelly proofed) feeling, that Win7 does not like any qEmu.

In all (?) of my x86 / x64 trials to emulate nativeEX_Win7 in qemu (several versions, several bochs BIOS versions) during boot the win7 PE tells me, that the hardware is not compliant with ACPI compatible.

Hi all,

My previous post was mostly wrong (Not my fault, I waited double check (saydin77+psc)) before writing here. Lately with a "last" check, here is updated results.

With hostos Pentium4CPU, using qemu-system-x86_64.exe to test PE1x64:

qemu-0.9.0 success
qemu-0.10.6 fails
qemu-0.11.50 fails

saydin77 recently tested with qemu-0.9.0 on LiveXP server, He says failure can be reproduced with 0.9.0 by using an updated zlib1.dll

:whistling: :thumbup:


I can confirm! :whistling:
Using qemu-0.9.0 the PE boots with:
  • Source x64 on P4
  • Source x86 on P4
  • Source x64 on E5200 with host XP x86
  • Source x86 on E5200 with host XP x86

Posted by pscEx on 05 September 2011 - 09:59 PM in Blogs

Before I go to vacation, another Mind Teaser:

In a room there are three people sitting on chairs, one behind the other.
The third one can see the two ones in front of him, the second one sees only the first one, and the first one does not see anybody.

There is a man with 3 red and two white hats.
He puts one of his hat collection to every of the three people.

Then he asks the third one "What's the colour of your hat"? answer "I do not know"
Then he asks the second one "What's the colour of your hat"? answer "I do not know"
Then he asks the first one "What's the colour of your hat"? answer ????

Hat set r r r w w
I consider the 3 people cannot see their hats
The 3rd person cannot deduct the color of its hat then
from 4 posible scenarios only 3 are valid ones

r r ?
1 2 3

r w ?
1 2 3

w r ?
1 2 3

w w R
1 2 3 this option is not compatible with 3rd person answer "I do not know"
if person 1 & 2 would've had white hats person 3 would've known he got a red hat.

now the 2rd person cannot deduct the color of its hat either then
from 3 posible scenarios only 2 are valid ones
r ?
1 2 3

r ?
1 2 3

w R
1 2 3 this option is not compatible with 2nd & 3rd person answers "I do not know"
person 3 answer => 1 & 2 do not have both white hats
person 2 answer => person 1 cannot have a white hat if not person 2 would've known he got a red one

now the 3rd person considering the previous answers can only have a RED hat

:1st:

Maybe the URLs mentioned by Wonko, are not read by many members because the stuff offered there is not really revolutionary new.

But now there can be seen an interesting episode:

Starting with MedEvil's complain in 911CD "GENA" about a script of him included in the GENA project, but with removing him as author.

I'm very pleased to notice, that you removed all references to me, from my OffByOne.script and present it as your own (Author=Gena).
Am i special or are you doing that with scripts from all developers?

Real classy move. :thumbsdown:

And the final answer by Lancelot:

MedEvil,

You guys like to sabotage good topics with your irrating, lieing posts, filling with a "stupid" discussion which actually started with your false, misguide statements, forcing others to answer. No need to re-reply your above misguiding lies, which only serves that goal.
You can never see me, or Galapo, or any other Gena People doing such "stupid" things around on other topics.
That is the spirit that gathers us, to share and do things from better to better, I hope (not actually) you understand one day.

So you fullfill your task by putting some "stupid" posts only to contaminate, as usual, like you always do.

I hope you can end here.

Interesting is, that Lancelot's answer now can be found in a different thread (created by Anonymous, and splitting some 'First author' concerns of mine as OFFTOPIC) , and MedEvil's initial post is not visible for 'normal' users.

I really would like to know, how all this "Voodoo moving, hiding and changing" of posts happens.

I have an idea in the back of my mind, but I cannot proof it. Two of the 9 moderators of 911CD have the names "Galapo" and "Lancelot"

Hi Peter,

It does not matter to us because we are not chasing click numbers!

This may be difficult to understand for someone who wants the most popular and downloaded project, and a post coming in a forum desiring most clicks, but that just the way it is. The initial topic was purely for informational purposes for anyone interested -- be that 0, or 1, or 100 people, it does not concern us. Even if the project didn't even appear to the general public it would not have concerned us at the end of the day. Gena is about "fun" for us, not clasing click numbers and popularity.

That's another reason why it wasn't advertised here.

Regards,
Galapo.

That's a reply to my introducing first line.

Much more interesting would be a reply to the rest of my post:
#1: MedEvil's complains about "Loosing to be author" has been answered with "You guys ...", "disturbing development", "irrating, lieing posts".
  • What's a ly, when an author says: "The reference to me is lost in my script", and there is really no reference left?
  • The ONE asking person MedEvil is adressed with "You guys like ...". That implements the allegation of conspiracy. Which conspiracy?
#2: Can you (as in my opinion serious person) confirm, that the script in question is really not authored by MedEvil, and therefore the author 'Gena' is correct?

Sometimes I have the feeling that I have to be rather cautious with your posts.
But here my primary reaction is "Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Just a small Voodoo appeared: The "911CD" URL you mentioned, is not longer available ...

#74623 A great day for WB!

Posted by pscEx on 14 August 2009 - 06:29 PM in Development

Go all and get your red markers, this is a day you don't want to forget! ;)
The day WB became serious software! :unsure:
Yep, that's right, yours truly wrote today the very first WB Virus. ;)

Out of a predicament, i wrote a script which infects all other scripts with a bit of it's code to track the building process. :frusty:

Soon coming to a project near you. ;)

:unsure:


Congratulations ;)
(Inspite it was a bit difficult to understand).

Is it worth to (and can) become standard WB command?

Peter



#74750 A great day for WB!

Isn't there a wb function/method capable of running code on the end of each script without rewriting all scripts?

Since today it is!

#138881 A milestone in the multiPE project is reached

Posted by pscEx on 02 October 2011 - 04:50 PM in MultiPE

multiPE project now earns its name for 95%: :rofl:

Depending on the source CD, it decides whether to create a PE1, PE2, PE3.

First use is just "One Click":
  • Click the "Source" tab and define a valid XP, Vista or Win7 x86 source.
  • Click the blue triange, and watch at the build.
  • Finally you see your PE booting in the VirtualBox emulator, and you'll be able to browse with Opera.
See multiPE Download



Documentation (changes daily by actualization)
