These two files are necessary for CreatISO script to activate the write filter on non-writable
discs.
These two files can be got from the XPe SP2 Feature Pack 2007.iso:
However, before you go building your custom dotNet project, verify that the
packaged project you have downloaded runs out-of-the-box
before trying to modify anything. Some small settings are crucial.
Try it this way:
- Extract Target_LiveXP_netFx2_henshaw.7z to an empty folder;
- Plug in a USB pendrive or SD-Card of at least 1Gb to your computer;
- Run PeToUSB.exe;
- Select your drive in PeToUSB and create your bootable disk (see attached image).
- When finished, boot from that pendrive and test the two dotNet applications
included (nLite and H7PluginBuilder).
If everything goes well, then there is no error with the original package.
You can now make a build of your own with fbwf included to run from CD.
Therefore, extract WinBuilder_LiveXP_netFx2_henshaw.7z to some folder
(preferably with a shallow directory path like C:\LiveXP_net)
Remember to make your build with XP SP3 (all my projects were built using SP3)
Do not forget to include fbwf.sys and fbwflib.dll in your build.
It would be better to also activate FBWF in EarlyStarter.script
to invoke the write-filter at an early boot stage.
After booting from CD, to verify that the write filter is active, try to create a text file
in the i386 folder of the CD (usually X:\i386\). If you can do that succesfully, then dotNet apps
will see the install location of NetFx.
Cache size should not be an issue.
Yes this script comes with MSI v4.5. Try it in the original build.
MSI is required for NetFx. If msi packages run on the original project build, then, there must be
some conflicting driver or reg settings in your newly added scripts. Get all your drivers from XP SP3.
Let me know !!!
