MistyPE has been abandoned/discontinued/replaced/superceeded.
I was prevously maintaining two different WinPE winbuilder projects - MistyPE and Mini-WinFE. MistyPE/Mini-WinFE development stalled some time ago. This was initially due to a combination of work/life commitments and the limited free time I had having been spent working on the PEBakery ChrisPE project. And then Covid hit!
Time constraints remain an issue. Rather than abandoning the project I decided to use the ChrisPE fileset as a base for updating Mini-WinFE. I have migrated the project to GitHub, with a Mini-WinFE project with two different branches. The WinPE branch (direct link - https://github.com/M...inFE/tree/WinPE) is intended as a MistyPE replacement.
WinBuilder or PEBakery can be used to run/build the project - both are included in the download. PEBakery 0.9.5.1 beta5 build is included - the project has been tested with more recent PEBakery builds including PEBakery 1.0.0, however tests were limited to running on a Windows 10 host operating system. Build 1.0.0 failed to run during a brief test on Windows 8.1.
NOTE - .Net Framework 4.7.1 and Windows 7 or newer is required to run PEBakery 0.9.5.1 beta. It should run ok on Windows 10.
As stated, the Mini-WinFE reboot is available via GitHub -
- main - forensic focus. A number of applications and settings that could potentially perform disk writes have been removed.
- WinPE - includes more applications and options - use with caution as it is possible to use settings that will not write protect disks.
Support for Windows 10 up to and including 22H2 sources - this includes SysWOW64 support. Testing has been limited. More details of supported builds is available @ http://winfe.mistypr...files/winpe.htm
Windows 11 (21H2 and 22H2) also appear to be working, but have not been thoroughly tested.
Some of the previous features of MistyPE/Mini-WinFE are missing, however the build process should be more straightforward due to reduced options.
