Where do you put the 3 text files?

yahoouk wrote

Change all implemented text from uploaded files in related script files.

You have to append the corresponding scripts, basically replace the entire body leaving the [main] [Interface] & [EncodedFolders] sections

Where is peshell.exe and peshell.ini?

embedded in Standard-3-Config.script (3 - Shell & Config)
inside a file named system32.7z

Sonny

[yahoouk]

Thank you Sonny.
Sorry for my lack of explanation.
There is system32.7z file embedded in Shell&Config Script.
Extract and decompress it. Cut and place PEshell.ini and PEshell.exe to PEshell folder in <shell folder>.
Repack system32.7z and originate.

Thanks to Lancelot for your advice. qDir script has been solved.
I'll try to fix Variable error bit later.

To accomplish your whole project, you have to modify BSexplorer's files such as desktop.ini, start.ini and add any script of software that you like to.

I'm waiting for RC Version to finish my project because that might be changed some files in boot.wim.

Edited:
Here is a tip news for some changes in Windows 7 RC build.

Thanks that was hard work but it worked. Maybe when you have your web site working you will make updates available with a new full download or from within winbuilder.

Sorry for my late uploading files.
Now all members can download whole projects from following new server. Any error, give a message, please.

http://win7pe.winbuilder.net

Just download files and folders. And decompress and Play.

@Nuno
I've just been stupid to be uploading wrong way.
Many thanks.

Thanks yahooUK,
Just finished getting it 'put together'
And it is cool

I did edit a couple of files (just for organization)

litestep: changed
level=4 > level=1

6 - PostConfig: changed
level=7 > level=8

Also had a problem with BSExplorer loading
the Desktop & Quicklaunch menu's

It seems that loading vpeldr.exe first
causes bsexplorer to 'skip/not load' these files

So I added:

If,"%Shell%",Equal,"PE Shell Swapper",

to these two lines in '3 - Shell & Config'
#win7_pe Loader

TXTAddLine,"%TargetDir%\windows\system32\winpeshl.ini","vpeldr.exe","Append"

TXTAddLine,"%TargetDir%\windows\system32\winpeshl.ini","autorun.cmd","Append"

So I have:

#win7_pe Loader

If,"%Shell%",Equal,"PE Shell Swapper",TXTAddLine,"%TargetDir%\windows\system32\winpeshl.ini","vpeldr.exe","Append"

If,"%Shell%",Equal,"PE Shell Swapper",TXTAddLine,"%TargetDir%\windows\system32\winpeshl.ini","autorun.cmd","Append"

Should I move these below bsexplorer lines so vpeldr.exe
loads after bsexplorer? What does it do?
I don't need to load autorun.cmd as it only contains:

@echo off

title Win7_PE Autorun...

echo Starting Win7_PE Autorun, please wait...

echo.

Pulled from the wim after build

Thanks again, Sorry for all the questions

It would be nice, if a description of the project could be posted, so that people have a better idea what to expect from this project.
Best in the 1st post.

Here's a small list of things i would be interested in.
- building requirements
- running requirement
- advantages of this project (goodies)
- goal of the project
- maybe what it is not suppose to be

[f2neo]

(My first post )

First, thanx for all your good work...

I am currently trying to build a SevenPE for an USB flash drive live OS based project.

I quickly noticed that every paths I followed from google on the subject guided
me to boot-land.net ... so I gave up... I have no choice but to use Winbuilder

I agree the precedent post, this new OS project deserves better visibility and
I hope there will be a dedicated forum section for SevenPE (like the other xxxPE project).

I am currently starting to learn Winbuilder and will try to build my own SevenPE,
thanx to all of you guys there ! Nice Work !

It's not that difficult to use and the good part is that you can really contribute to make the overall project much better.

We're just a small community. You're really welcome to join and help this project move forward.

yahooUK,

Just looking thru the filecopy script (it seems to take forever)

So I tried to delete the lang pack files and setup.exe before copy
To be honest I didn't see much if any speed improvement

I guess its just a lot of files (~9,500 files & ~767mg) to copy
and is going to take some time

Sonny

Edit:
I also commented out the entire fonts section
since this would be redundent
(the whole directory is being copied)

[risolutore]

I tested the old rapidshare ver and it stops after PeshellSwapper set resolution. So i started toask manager --> cmd--> and manually select program files\bsexplorer\explorer.exe
I hope now it works.

Hi Nuno, just to "reconnect" I am one of your recent linkedin connection.

I recently created with a few fools the "Livetoken.com" project.

It is about a secure live OS with smart card related features.

Our first beta tests are currently made with a REAL live capable OS (Linux) but
people quickly asked about a Windows flavor... and that's why I am interested
in your winbuilder tool.

Kind out of topic :
I used BartPE in the past, and at that time there already was licence issue about PE,
I did not find any legal statement on the winbuilder website, can you redirect me
to some information regarding this legal/licence thing.

Now, you can add a new Win7PE / SevenPE section/project to your wikipedia
project description : http://en.wikipedia....wiki/WinBuilder

f2neo!

From me a well meant 'Welcome', too.

But can you give me a chance to get to know something about Livetoken.com?

The above link points to Wiki about WinBuilder

Peter

[yahoouk]

Very pleased to read all feedback, advice, questions and guidance.
As a very busy person, I couldn't reply every post at the moment. Do apologise.

I'll try to do as possible as I can.

Many thanks to all.

Thanx, I corrected the link.

I am sure noone guessed livetoken.com website is www.livetoken.com
I made a small announcement there about a future WinBuilder test.

[Brito]

Hi f2neo.

Welcome to Boot Land!

The wiki does need some serious updating, it's still mentioning 074 as latest release.

-------

As you can see we are all overloading yahoouk with a lot of fresh ideas and feedback for a new project so take your time and have fun around here.

Would be nice to get a good Windows PE 3.x project before Win7 is released.

[paraglider]

@yahooUK,

I think if you uncompress your script files on the website then they should be downloadable from the download center within winbuilder.

Somewhere its documented what you have to do to enable this but I could not find it.

[Brito]

All you need is a file called updates.ini to create a new server.

----------------------

This is done automatically inside WinBuilder at the Tools section.

It will create an updates.ini that will list all files and scripts available inside the projects folder.

Then, all you have to do is upload this folder to somewhere in the internet and add this address to the list of available web server inside winbuilder.

[paraglider]

Looks as though there is something about the win7pe project generated updates.ini file that pebuilder does not like. I get a " is not a valid integer when it tries to download the file.

That remembers me on a WinBuilder bug I thought to have fixed.

@yahoouk: Please check wheter ALL scripts have [Main] version and download level.

I'm going into the debugger with youir download server.

[Sonny]

yahooUK,

I Would like to help with some of the simple work,
as I am not working right now I have the free time.

Should I post snippets of script here or is there
someway (If you want) to send them to you directly?
Anyway here is a new Standard-1-files.Script
that copies the files seperatly, should be easier
to seperate/integrate language files later

Also I would like to try to seperate the boot.tmp
dir/variable so the files would not have to be moved
in postconfig (this is likely above my meager abilities)
It seems that would speed up the build process.

Another thought, is to copy the files from install.wim only once
(i mean, copy them into a subdirectory and save them for future builds)
then the install.wim would only need to be mounted on first run

These may not be possible or practicle but ......

Thanks

Sonny

[paraglider]

@Psc,

It was me that was experimenting with winbuilder not @yahoouk. You can point your debugger at:

www.paraglidernc.com/winbuilder/projects

to see the version that fails to download with the winbuilder download center. Note this is only a test version not for public consumption.

[yahoouk]

Dear All,

Sorry for my late reply.
I'm doing another project (WAIK - Win7PE) the whole day and night but not successful yet.
Problem is imagex & WimUtil can't mount winpe.wim.
Everytime source was detected but not mounted properly.

Changing RefreshVars line to If,%version%,SMALLER,075,SYSTEM,FreshVals does not work. But thanks for your advice.

Uploading Projects folder included update.ini to winbuilder.net again.
And Projects.7z wrapped file is alsouploaded again.
Download it and just uncompress it in base folder.
I've tested with WB074,075Beta and 076, all working apart from some ignore errors.

I'm away some days, but I'll try to do as I can.

Many thanks for all feedback, advice and comments.

B Regards,

I took a look at some of the files from paraglider's website, and ran a few through windiff - comparing files to Nightman's VistaPE - to see what significant changes have been made with Win7. For some of the base scripts, the only difference is a change in date, project name (and ancilliary file names), and author.

I don't have time to go through them all. Are there any scripts that are significantly different reflecting chnages between Vista and Win7?

[paraglider]

Why did you add the call to infcachebuild in Standard-6-postconfig.script? That is only required for xp based projects. It does not run on vista unless you have an xp based version of setupapi.dll in the same directory or if you are building on xp.
