BTW: For what purpose do you need a sys.com in a PE1? Do you want to build a DOS floppy fom inside a PE? ../public/style_emoticons/default/dubbio.gif

no i want to use this format command...format /q /s so sytem file is tranferred to formatted media and become dos bootable media.

Windows 7 (32) does indeed have NTVDM in the usual place. It's just the Win64 stuff it's missing in. In any case, only EDIT uses it, the rest are win32 apps. Older reactos code has a 32-bit recompile of edit.exe from freedos, recompiled for win32.

HELP.EXE needs its help file DOSHELP.HLP to work. This is the text file it prints out. Here, it's unicode, rather than ascii.

Maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong.

Check by yourself:

What would you mean by that?
If the NTVDM crashed on that peep, it means that it is there, then we may talk about whether it is botched or not in Vista or 7, which is an entirely different issue.

NO.
What you want to do is to format a media with a bootsector invoking IO.SYS and have IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM copied to it and you think that you can do that by running MS-DOS FORMAT.COM from a PE.
You are clearly slipping on a chocolate covered banana :

Are you interested in the actual result or in the way you think you should get to it?

Very good, I am pretty sure that before or later you will find a way to add them , and when you will have managed to do so , you will learn how direct access to devices is NOT supported on NT based systems.

yes i know direct access to devices is NOT supported on NT based system i want to know how to add some Dos based files in the script...i mean some custom DOS files.
i hope u show the way to do it...THX....

Well, we have gone round and round on this ...

Have you even tried to understand the scripting language of WinBuilder???

If not - that would be a good place to start. For example, in this script, they use the API command "reguire_file". There is full docs on the web, and here is the page for that commaand. But, it is using defaults for most of the parameters, which means that the source file has to come from the windows\system32 area of the "source" image.

BUT, if you look a bit further into scripting or ANY of the tutorials, you would also see that you could just as easily add the file to the script directly as an attached file and extract the file to a specific directory - or create an archive to attach, and extract and unpack the archive to a given folder.

So, there are MANY ways to do this - not counting all the other ways we have documented here in the forum to add files to a PE when it is built or to the image (ISO) as it is created.

16 bits Dos programs can't run in Win7PE_SE because there is no script to include NTVDM support, that's why i ask the project used.

I'll post one that works in x86 Win7PE_SE tomorrow for further testing and development. I had to create it over the last few days to allow an old DOS com port test program to work in PE.
