Well I've got a job now, so I'll be making much slower progress with my TODO list from now on!

We understand your desire to break all projects other than those based on your nativex. You certainly trashed VistaPE.

BTW. Your logic is flawed. It is not and never was a bug.

If you wish to shape winbuilder to your own projects, please post the script that you have, in this particular case, designed winbuilder to run.

Regards

For some reason psc prefers to conduct the development of winbuilder in secret via PM. Not sure why. In the proper spirit of openness, here is the response that answers my question.

@psc

I guess that you could never really understand it. So now you have the opportunity, you decided to break it. What a joke!

... ...

Regards

Ever tried running a project other than your own?

wb077b1 --> can not finish bootsdi
wb076 --> no problem

ShellExecute,Hide,"cmd.exe","/c #$q#$q%VdkExe%#$q open * #$q%RAMFolder%\i386\%BootSDIname%#$q /rw /p:0 >> #$q%VdkLog%#$q#$q"

why warning with

wait,2

?

I hope on future versions of wb using
Set,"%value1%","1234,5 6,7 8"
remains the same as before, because it is much easier to understand/read than
Set,"%value2%",1234#$c5#$s6#$c7#$s8

Topic is about "Qutoe, Comma, Space" but i have a question for "percentage"
is there any rule/comment for using variable in variable (i had some issues that i can not remember now, following lines works):

Set,%test%,peter

 Set,%petervariable%,peter#$sin#$sbootland

 Echo,%%test%variable%

I have a problem which i don't understand.
Whne Hive builds NaughtyPE with an english source, he get's of course a program files folder instead of a Programme folder like me, with german source.
Problem is, while shortcuts still work, i can't find a way to start a program from batch or command prompt, when a space is in the path.

Tested the following:
- start %systemdrive%\programme\wbload\wbload.exe - works
- start %systemdrive%\program files\wbload\wbload.exe - does not work
- start "%systemdrive%\program files\wbload\wbload.exe" - does not work
- start %systemdrive%\"program files"\wbload\wbload.exe - does not work
- start %systemdrive%"\program files\wbload\wbload.exe" - does not work
- start %programfiles%\wbload\wbload.exe - does not work
- start "%programfiles%\wbload\wbload.exe" - does not work

The solutions with the "" should have all worked, but do not.
Any idea for the right syntax?

Peter psc

yep, this was one of the lesson i learned highly probably from you a while ago (couldnt find the topic in bootland )

copy /y ".\test.exe" %temp%

 

 Echo test 1 - normal syntax

 start /wait %temp%\test.exe

 

 Echo test 2 - quote syntax right

 start "" "%temp%\test.exe"

 

 Echo test 3 - quote syntax wrong

 start "%temp%\test.exe"

Undoubtedly

On the other hand, it shows the similarities between our friend psc and "Billy the Door" :

I adapted it for 076 and it's working fine. Now, for no reason whatsoever, you decided to break it. What's the story?

I still need to have a local virgin project, just for uploads. But i want to be able to upload directly from my work project.

Seems like a sensible change to me. However as it does introduce compatibility problems maybe you should make it optional at the script level i.e. require a new option in the [main] section of a script to enable the new syntax.

Would not like winbuilder to be like MS products which never seem to care about compatibility with earlier versions of the product.

[process]

Set,%List%,"a,b,c"

Run,%ScriptFile%,Test,%List%

System,SPLITPARAMETERS,ON

Run,%ScriptFile%,Test,%List%

System,SPLITPARAMETERS,OFF



[Test]

Echo,#1

Echo,#2

Echo,#3

The System,SPLITPARAMETERS,ON command can be given once in the project, e.g. in [Process] of script.project, and is then valid for the complete project (or until it is switched off by System,SPLITPARAMETERS,OFF, and then switched on again, and ....)

Peter

BTW: This again is one of the commands, I only invented for MY nativeEx project.
In spite it is currently not needed there, I'm going to find sth where to use it.
Suggestions welcome!

• Comment lines should have two hash chars rather than one. Since a while we are trying to define comment as // or ##.
• The System,RefreshVars command is obsolete and does not do anything. You should remove it.
• Some Echo commands with spaces in the message should include the message in quotes.

Because of some complaints i did get and some own tests.
I have to stress: NaughtyPE build with WB076 manages to reach the desktop. This however does not imply in any way that things will work!!!

How far things do work, depends on your language or more precisely, if and how many folders have a space in their names.

If you want a usable NaughtyPE, only WB072 and WB074 will do!!!

All Strings containg spaces get malformed.
This means links, registry...

btw. Sound is not working in your NaughtyPE.

Please tell me at least one script with link failure and one script with wrong registry key.
I need to reproduce the issue.

Unfortunatewlly I do not have sound. Therefore I cannot reproduce.
Tell me the script and I'll try to compare.

Peter

• What happened between post #1314 and now?
• Is it concerning a dummie user like me?

No idea what you're talking about, there is no site called pepa.com.

Since there is no dot3api.dll in my builds and i never got complaints about it missing, i guess the problem is not Wb074 but that you use as source XPSP3 while i still use XPSP2.

The curious thing is, why didn't you get that message when you've build with WB076?

As already said FishRadio has malformed links.

Having no sound, is a very valid reason for NaughtyPE not having it too.

If you want a usable NaughtyPE, only WB072 and WB074 will do!!!

If you want a usable NaughtyPE, only WB072 and WB074 with German XP SP2 source CD will do!!!

System,COMPATIBILITY,{74|76}

• Theoretically
• Practically
  If Practically:
• Which statements are for discussion?

• SAmple: 'Blah Blah' in 074 becomes 'Bla Bla', in 076 becomes 'blo blo'
• Which statements in my script do not work anymore, and
• How many weeks I have to spend to correct
• I cannot correct it

This is somehow connected with the "strict" vs. "tolerant" approach that was discussed some time ago and with syntax highlighting.
For the "willing" .script developer updating his .script to a newly introduced syntax should not be a big problem, as well as correcting the previously "wrong" syntax used.
But in reality a large numbers of .scripts, even very good/useful ones are not "properly" and constantly mantained by the original Author or by some volunteer.

Nope shouldn't be read like that. Should work with all XPSP2, but W2k3Sp1 might make problems as i never tested it. But there too: all languages - same problems. I do not discriminate!

NaughtyPE doesn't like it to be run from a folder path with spaces in it, like a lot of other projects.

Maybe you can confirm that new script works for nativeEx.

THOUGH! No error messages in the log!

Instead of this 'great idea of the day' aproach to development.

While on my errrands on the net, I found this one:

Possibly not "perfect", but maybe it could be an idea to avoid at least part of the multilingual problems I seem to understand can happen.As always for my semi-random ideas, simply disregard it if unneeded/unuseful.jaclaz

As a side note, i believe that most developers would have far less problems, if it would be announced, we're now doing a major rework of WB and once it is finished, things will work like this and that and will not be changed again!!!

This would give the developers the chance to rework their projects without the need for already having to have a new WB version. Sure no project/script will probably work at first run. But within a day things should be up and running fine.

Besides a rather small price to pay, to remove the damocles sword of another good or even great idea!

and will not be changed again!!!

But I would say that 99% of people have a licence for the SAME source (and language) they are building on.

Consequently it's not a "perfect" solution, but could be an option covering a large part of the intended audience.

I don't know what effect you exactly hoped for, but this is not what i meant.
You should have have a list of commands that are eighter new or changed right from the start and handed out instead of the nightlies a site which gives the future commands and their syntax nothing more.
Then when you think everything is ready for release. Start Beat testing. If you like with nightlies.

Obsolete: \Drivers\zz-usb-keyboard-mouse-hotplug.script (Renamed and moved)

Bad news if WB077b1 files are significantly different.

Peter i did not meant to critize you in a negative manner.

You put a lot of time and work in WB and that in itself deserves a lot of gratitute.

I for one worked my whole life in the IT business, even before it was that called.
And there are certain ways, how things are done and those ways, do not exist because someone thought they're a good idea,
but because they have proven to work. Time and time again.


Yep, remember those good old times, when coming here was pure fun. The sky seemed to be the limit.
Any idea what went wrong?

I more and more get the feeling that I'm seen as employee of the forum.

I know what the problem with shortcut icons is.
After you first click on them, they look fine and work ok, don't they?

Hi,

It builds without errors (wb 077b1), but after booting there is no penetcfg. Manually runing of it displays error that there is no netcfg ora factory.exe fount...

Maybe someone can customize Holger's penetwork for vistape?

Regards, voyteckst

i will test tomorrow.

@Peter
i dont know winbuilder or hojope issue, but this line (HIVESFT.INF)

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Locations","DisableCallWaiting1",0x00000002,"70#,"

creates this value in pe registry: "70#$c"

Peter

Do CTMAG left the project? I just did a search for his posts and it seems his last post was January 30 this year.

What happened to him?

And any news about Nightman and a possible new VistaPE RC candidate?

Is "70#$c" , should be "70#,"

@peter psc
the fixes i offer is not about verify script behaviour. Fixes only changes opening log file method which results it working in all windows (hostosx64 and hostosx86) when nativeex barabone used.
LiveXP being nativeex based project follows vbverify script versions which result log file not opening on hostosx64 with current codings. (if i fix lines in one version, galapo uploading the next version with unfixed lines, things goes like that so i stop fixing the lines on livexp ) . Anyway, it is not a big deal as i get used to this vbverify error

I think it does not have drivers for vmware eternet controller. It does'nt installs.

i understand the warnings and fixes are on the way now (currently i havent check fully with wb077b1)

but with a quick test using wb076, network working nicely with virtualbox, i guess no problem you testing with 076 too.

But I currently do not remember whether I deleted the registry cache before testing (I usually do so). Give me some minutes to do a new test.

yep i definately need a break

The LiveXP project downloaded today morning, does not bring PE network connection, even if built with WB 076.

But you can help me with the foxit.script.

thunn used a pretty eccentric way to write that script.
imo, it should still work. But it doesn't.

[variables]

 %ConfigDir%=%TargetDir%\i386\system32\config

 _HKLM=RegWrite#$cHKLM

 _HKCU=RegWrite#$cHKLM

 

 [process]

 RegHiveLoad,WB-default,%ConfigDir%\default

 RegHiveLoad,WB-software,%ConfigDir%\software

 _HKLM,0x1,WB-software\Classes\.pdf,,FoxitReader.Document

 _HKCU,0x1,"WB-default\Software\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\MainFrame",ShowStatusBar,1

 RegHiveUnLoad,WB-default

 RegHiveUNLoad,WB-software

PS: When you say next beta you mean beta of 077 or 076?

in virtualbox v.2.1.4 i see 2 network adapters.
'virtnet network adapter' > ok
'vmware accelerated amd pcnet adapter' > exclamation mark

if you remove 'vmware accelerated amd pcnet adapter'
and start hwpnp 'vmware accelerated amd pcnet adapter' will be redetected (exclamation mark)

if you remove both in device manager, then rescan using device manager,
then start Penetwork you will get 'amd pcnet family adapter' (driver is pcntpci5.sys)
>Network is ok.

To have the possibility of writing:

_HKLM,0x1,etc.,etc.

instead of:

RegWrite, HKLM, 0x1,etc.,etc.

RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Section,Key(Text),String

• Which statements in my script do not work anymore, and
• How many weeks I have to spend to correct
• I cannot correct it

So that seems not to be only a question for Holger, but also a question for the 'project management'?

I am only a mini helper around for LiveXP and aware that definately not qualified to manage a project (especially LiveXP).
I try to do things as far as i know and still learning.

I dont know the reason, but my tests shows issue solved after updating "5 - CopyAndExpand.Script" to v22 , currently available on livexp server.

you enabled sth you shouldnt, probably a mistake when clicking by mouse (i love my keyboard style on wb )

anyway
Solution probably is: disable shell security script before building (Basic--->Shells--->Explorer tweaks--->Shell Security) which is not selected as default (check here )

Peter

Is there any reason to keep these values empty on PE !?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Common AppData"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"AppData"

if not, should i do it with a seperate script or what you suggest..... ????

ps: i will look forward on lan issue tomorrow, enough for today .

not sure about the meaning of filled out

Foxit.script fixed /updated to work with WB076/077.

Dear Ladies and Gandlemans,

I need download the ETBoot.part1.rar , but some come everytime a ERROR . What can i Do. Or can you said me the anotter download Site.
I Want make a WINDOWS XP DVD who can startet of all Computers.

Thank You for Help
JUMANJI

fxscrpt

new mmc on server

BTW: Maybe it is now time to again think about my topic 'LiveXP - Factory settings'. It is really not the best idea to include 'Everything selected'

On the other hand, we catch network bugy with that

• Put a couple of unneeded scripts into a project:
  A certain script fails
• Remove the unneeded scripts:
  The previously not running script now runs
• Tell the world: Introducing the bug gave me the possibility to fix it!
  Everything is running now, and nobody knows why!

• VirtNet Network Adapter.script
• VMWareNIC.script
  (VirtualBoxNIC_AMD_PCNET.script delivers a VMWare Ethernet Driver, look at the description)

Now there is the same configuration like in (the allways 3-emulators ready) nativeEx_barebone.

a question for the nativeex barabone 'project management'?

(red added by me)

Any progress with AppData key ?!

• Download latest stuff (complete)
• Defined source CD
• Built
• Run in VirtualBox
  (after some rebuilds due to network drivers which are not relevant here)
• Tried some programs

• EITHER Something making the ISO writable, BootSDI, FBWF or whatelse
• OR Deselect all scripts wanting to write to the system drive
• OR Change the scripts to write to the RAM drive

Found way to reproduce. It doesnt seem to be the projects fault.
First dowload project
Dont define source using path tab.
Run project build.
You will be asked for source.
After you select source.
Wbverify will pop up the eror message
Errors:
"This project needs XP or W2003 as source"

wrong, v13 is on livexp server, and i wish you dont change the icon of earlystarter

Testing with enu is much easier for me

This is Houston. Say again please.

I know Explorer deletes some Shell Folders values, if
corresponding Folders are not present!
Add these folders to modelram!

BTW: i replaced VBoxManWrap.exe by RegApiUtil.exe.
RegApiUtil.exe can convert 'VBoxManage.exe list blabla' output
to winbuilder readable ini file.

I currently use virtualbox portable ( Portable-VirtualBox.exe ) which helps me a lot when migrating from x64 <-> x86 (both app32 and app64 folders there )
Is it possible to use virtualbox portable with this new script ?? (checking for if regkey not exists, if file exists (%Textbox%) --> )

a line from ReadMe.txt (never tested)

Thanks Lancelot!

A regular PE user should be smart enough to copy it to a writeable media inorder to update
well, AV applications are recommended by livexp, so i keep it as it is,
and also add info to Apps\Security\AntiVirus\folder.project

For me: WinBuilder is Bulls..., Forget it, Try BartPE

just reminding the old man,
at wb77beta2, also please dont forget wait, warnings i got

check log_20090419_061927_wb077b1_bootsdi_fails.html file in http://lancelot.winb...9_062832_wb.rar

But simply, it tries to download, and says "i can not connect to download".
If one tries to use with bartpe, he will get the same result
