Important:
If you make an update of project with the download server win7pe.winbuilder.net/SE
Check that you also download the latest version of common_Api.

[ChrisR]

To give a more appropriate name in the folder Debug and have a common name with Gena project.
It was renamed in Utils (tools already used)
After updating the project, it is then necessary to deleted the old folder Debug.

This is where having better (i.e. one WB understands) version numbers and being very strict on updating them when there is a change could help prevent issues...Just a thought I know it's not 100% in your control...

Thank you Guys

I forgot to close the topic, done now. No problem but it is better for new users and support not to overload this thread.

Following Holger's update, here is the last PENetwork script with v.058.B7 inside and selected by default. on server.
http://w7pese.cwcodes.net/Projects/Win7PE_SE/Components/penetwork.script

Thanks theHive for the new link on BGInfo, new script on server too.
http://w7pese.cwcodes.net/Projects/Win7PE_SE/Tweaks/2-BGInfo.script

About Rufus, I tested it also, it works well with IsoLinux and BootMgr.
Unfortunately not with grub4dos, it starts in this case with BootMgr, I hope that Akeo will add Grub MBR writing in future versions.
It would also be nice to be able to launch Rufus with ISO predefined (cmdline options) for a better integration in a project.
but an additional script with Rufus will surely coming soon.
I also invite to test and use other tools such as RMPrepUSB

Beautiful wallpaper the Hive, I saw that you use the very Beautiful CoolMon, I use it too, through "Share scripts" and by sharing http://gena.cwcodes.net/ script.
To avoid some troubles with duplicate scripts (new name for the script, eg: ppAppsGen16 -> ppAppsGen17x) or folder renamed,
Please, always use the lastest package (I know, this is real work to synchronize with your projects), then you can continue the updates normally with the server.

[ChrisR]

Project Updated: Win7PE_SE_2012_04_16

Small fixes, view on the previous package.
