If i remember correctly, that is used to make sure the filename has certain letter casing.

But, the key as you pointed out isn't what we call them, but that they are sort of "required" if you're going to use the API, and need to be defined by the project's code ...

[variables]

%ProgramTitle%=myProgram

%ProgramEXE%=myProgram.exe

%ProgramFolder%=myProgramFolder

this topic is over a year old :/

 

But thanks!

Question to the forum software:

Why did I see it as "unread" ?

Peter

TXTAddLine,%target_sys%winpeshl.ini,""netdrive_test.cmd"",APPEND

When you want to write quotes into winpeshl.ini, it should be:

TXTAddLine,%target_sys%winpeshl.ini,#$qnetdrive_test.cmd#$q,APPEND

Peter

RegHiveLoad,WB-Default,%RegUser%

RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"WB-DefaultControl PanelDesktop",MenuShowDelay,200

RegHiveUnLoad,WB-Default

• 0x3 - Binary data - adds data in binary format. Each byte is specified by groups of two digits splitting each value with commas

RegWrite,HKLM,0x3,"WB-DefaultControl PanelDesktop",UserPreferencesMask,be,3e,07,80,12,00,00,00

Post your script "logically", that means just the first and last registry commands (and one or two commands from the middle).

Peter

Your script calls the API functions correct.

Mabye there is a glitch in definitions.

Look at script.project [Variables] %API????% and compare with reality.

Peter

BTW: When (estimated) did THIS project build successfully?

THIS means "unchanged now"

BTW2: have a look into the  log.html.

Usually such cryptic API code is resolved there.

RegHiveLoad,Tmp_Default,%RegDefault%
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Tmp_Default\Software\MyProgram","MyKey","MyValue"
RegHiveUnLoad,Tmp_Default

WinBuilder allows the use of any name for the opened hive, like here "Tmp_default".

But when you want to use some tools like Reg2WBS etc. you should use the stone aged "standard names" WB-Default, WB-Software, WB-System

Peter

AddPostConfig,"Start MyService",wscript.exe,Start_MyService.vbs

See my edit!

Peter

You have still the old buggy 300-win7pe.zip in your downloads folder, which is used on install.

Move your source CD files out of the downloads folder somewhere, and then process as described above.

Peter

BTW: If I do not immediatelly react on responses now, imagine, that in Germany it is some minutes before 11 PM.

EDIT: You can also do a short trial:

UNINSTALL win7pe, and then do your "mini" cleanup.

IMO that should work w/o moving the source CD

Your "firewall" mentioning reminds me on some glitch I sometimes have on my system.

When INSTALL Win7PE, my Avast scanner sometimes thinks to see a virus, stopps the download and leaves an undefined situation in the WinBuilder directory.

Then I get exactly what you are describing in your first post.

Then I usually clear downloads, suspend Avast for 10 minutes, and INSTALL Win7PE again. The build works then.

Sorry that I remember so late ...

Peter

No reason to believe it's not his dev machine, which is *of course* running the version he modified, rather than a version he had just retrieved from the same place *I* must retrieve it. None at all; he certainly doesn't say in his posting here.

I lost the motivation to reply here.

Do you think, I'm so stupid, that that I use the development version of my source code for test?

What I did is:

• Download the actual version of WinBuilder from reboot.pro into an empty directory in my host.
• Typed "Auto"

Topic closed.

Have fun with BartPE!

Peter

I found it!

It is a bug in my latest Win7PE version which does not present itself on installing.

Maybe you get the solution already before Christmas ...

Peter

I could reproduce the issue which is described in the first post.

Give me some days (some additional because of Christmas ...)

Peter

Those two files were /it/, Peter.

Nothing else there.

Will try the other, Nuno; tnx.

In other words: The INSTALL did not write anything into your WinBuilder area.

For me, the most propably reason is that some security tasks of your system prohibit that.

And when there is no project, it is not possible to select a project for build

Peter

And downloads\cache only has two HTML files:

I meant the COMPLETE downloads folder, not only the cache subfolder.

Peter

Fixed!

I changed the uploaded Win7PE project silently, wihout publishing a new version.

The bug was terrible:

There is a function install() which is used by a project or plugin to register itself inside WinBuilder during INSTALL.

Here are TWO install() functions. Unfortunatelly only one of them is used ...

Maybe I have been sleepy, drunk, or simply senile when I published.

Thanks for your response!

To use the new project:

• delete winbuilder.xml
• delete the downloads folder
• start WinBuilder
  • SOURCE <your path>
    (only "SOURCE" starts a file finder, which leads to the same result)
  • INSTALL win7pe
  • BUILD

Peter

As far as I remember, I tested it successfully on XP SP1 x86 host

I have just started a new test, but that will take a while with download of the win7 iso ...

Peter

I hope that it works for you, too ...

Peter

Maybe in an unknown small part ot the HDD there is the root of the evil.

Instead of searching for the reason:

Save your Win7 CD <anywhere>, best is under the root of any of your drives. (If it is saved in a "complicated" path, maybe later extractions from WinSxS files may exceed the allowed path length)

Then, as explained above:

• Delete the complete actual WinBuilder directory.
• Download WinBuilder and unzip into a new created directory.
• Run WinBuilder

  • SOURCE <anywhere>

  • INSTALL Win7PE

  • BUILD

This works perfect on my XP system.

EDIT:

If that does not work for you, send me:

• WinBuilder.xml
• The download folder (zipped). Sorry, a nice amount of megabytes ...

I'm rather sure that reboot.pro does not allow you as new member such an amount of data. Send to my e-mail or PM me.

Peter

Works perfectly!
 
Here the console output of the complete session (without confusing Art-ASCII):

Peter

I'll try, for completeness' sake, redoing a fresh AUTO with Avast on pause, but probably not til sometime Christmas Day -0500. Peter, I know you're in UTC+1; which zone is Nuno in?

Same one

Peter

... if I don't want to use RoboForm 2Go again (of which I actually own a licence), ...

How easy/complicated is to remove the OS after reviewing it? Thanks!

Sorry, Peter, what do you mean by "regshoot"?

Within 5 (Latin) minutes you can download version 3.3.2.

new option must not be default selected if you do not want unnecassary (and unreadible) RegWriteBin hex entries everywhere in scripts.

But it will be great if it is possible to have a default selected option saying "HEX WideStrings Auto for Unicode" (or something like that...)

Hi Peter,
i just tested it for the first drive test it's working great, but actually the start key of duplicated keys is disappear. Example:
I think it's one missing:

"reg_add,0x0,%reg%\TEST\MORE\FIRSTDISSAPPEARS\"

However i think and learn from the 0x0 dump option(DO NOT WRITE 0x0 keys) that these 0x0 doesn't have benefits because later these keys are filled with values and exist with the key, did i understand it right?

Hi Peter,

I am trying to use version 4.0.3 on WinXP Pro x64. At the moment I cannot get it to output anything at all.
It fails to produce anything in the code snippet box even when trying to process the following: This small reg file is saved in Unicode format, although I may be misunderstanding what unicode means in this instance.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

• ANSI (1 byte char)
• UTF-8 (two byte characters) In this case the first two bytes of the reg file must be Hex: FF FE.

• RegAddBoot option in GUI is OFF by default
• -R switch does not any more imply -H switch
• Some GUI changes to wrap all available switches

Hi Peter,

I am using TextPad, that's probably the problem.
Which text editor do you favour?

So, if I am not mistaken, we should ask paraglider WHY this strange value is created, in other words the "fix" in your app introduces a new pseudo-bug: "unknown/unstandard hex(3): values" are treated as "hex".

RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,WB-Setup\ControlSet001\Services\VPCMap\Security,Security,"hex(3):01#$c00#$c14#$c80#$......

RegWrite,HKLM,0x3,WB-Setup\ControlSet001\Services\VPCMap\Security,Security,00#$c14#$c80#$......

Hi pscEx,

thank you for grate tool.

But please can you fix this bug.

Problem is program doesn't ignore comment string ";"

Thank you

Somehow your program eighter doesn't like me or hex values.
Why always the hex values?
Why is there a hex(3): string in the hex code?

Original: ...

Created with Regshot.

• you can either write your personal RegShot2WBS_MedEvil.exe using RegShot output
• or I PM you the reg2WBS source code, and you write your personal reg2WBS_MedEvil.exe

They can have it.

Some programs insert it durin export. For Example Total Uninstall does it.

I found if I have path in registry there is "\\" but in script should be only one "\"?!
But reg2wbs don't do convert it.
Am I right?

What is download link? Link in first post gives 4.0.3 version.

use reg2WBS.exe (NOT reg2WBSprg.exe)
Browse:
"C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Peter\Desktop\x x.reg"
or
"C:\x x.reg"
and click "Build"

ps:
with following amalux's example
Browse:
"C:\Sygate Technologies, Inc.reg"
and click build

New version Reg2WBS 4.2.1 online.
Lines starting with a semicolon are skipped.

Usually \\ are replaced by \
For WinBuilder script syntax that is ok.

Maybe there is a special buggy condition. I need a *.reg where the replacement goes wrong.

Peter

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Folders]
"R:\\Program Files\\"=""
"R:\\Program Files\\OO Software\\"=""

am I right I thought that this reg shoud be skiped:

reg_add,0x1,%reg%\Classes\CLSID\{C1051DD2-472F-4B24-B47A-06769096CE34}\Shell
reg_add,0x1,%reg%\Classes\CLSID\{C1051DD2-472F-4B24-B47A-06769096CE34}\Shell\Open,,"Open"

can you insert some exclusion filed(s) which registry we don't want proceed?!

Then, What is the "supposed" right tool?

No matter if something is wrong, I'll continue using it because the formatting of the value of registry (for me) is right. If something is bad, I will verify, when I implement the code to the script.

that's ridiculous. should you also start hiding your tools if someone form 911cd or another PE site mentions a tool that does something one of your tools does????

Please, note that I already provided a link...

please point out where it says regCPE is better than reg2WBS

also the software is made by BlueLife, not the Gena project. posts are only made by lancelot because BlueLife speaks poor English...

My tools are my tools. And I can offer them public or use private (or additionally for friends' use) as I want.

• As posted 'anywhere' reg2WBS usually (exceptions are not a topic here) does not write empty keys into registry
• As posted 'anywhere' I do not intend to change that behaviour
• If a script needs to write an empty key into registry: The script MUST do so.
  If you do create your script w/o using reg2WBS, how do you write keys into registry????

Is it also possible to know WHAT is hex(3) or it has to remain a secret between you and paraglider?

• 'Last Settings' remembered

  Thanks for the hint about a possible bug.
  Please post a line wich causes that!

Yes the winbuilder naming of software hives is definitely cryptic - machine to me implies the system hive. HKU you would think means the default user hive.

Arrgn. I found a line that was silently droped. Do i have to check the whole outputfile for stuff like that?

original:


output:

The same hive can be "Machine" or "Software"?

I am failing to see which one is the "cryptic" and which one is "explaining"....

Wonko

• Added RegAddBoot support
• Fixed bug in Environment Replacement
• Added (x86) prog dir detection (untested)

Also, I don't understand this behavior:

look at the link below the text "latest version number"...it seems you have two links and one is wrong...
