Could someone explain how to use the To_Target_Win, To_Target_Sys (and other) commands? I want to try to do my own PC Wizard 2008 script with MakeScript 16.1, but it copies 1 file to C:\Windows\Java\trustlib\ and i want MakeScript to do the same. I am also using a registry file created with InstallRite.

[pedrole15]

This don't work if you have selected Copy files from source
you want to add a file (ex: file.txt) to %Target_Win%\Java\trustlib
Make a folder in your source folder and name it To_Target_Win like this :

Thank you, for your answer. I will try it tomorrow => 10 hours working should be enough

Edit: Ok, since the last Windows Update (yesterday => installed via "Install and shut down"-option) killed my notebook, I hadn't time to try it. Hopefully I will have time tomorrow.

Edit: Another thing is, that if I add a registry file to the source, it stops at "Wait - Processing". It won't even go to the next screen, where it usually builds the script. The registry file is about 40KB and was recorded and exported using InstallRite 2.5. Isn't it compatible with InstallRite's Registry exports?

I still wasn't able to get it working with the To_Target_Win. Also I do not see an Option "Copy files from source". I only see an Option for naming the folder.

Ok. The Registry seems to be a problem with the MakeScript Script inside WinBuilder. With your MakeScript.exe it loaded the registry fine.

Edit: Ok, i copied 7za.exe (nothing to overwrite), reg2WBSprg.exe (this files was about 2 KB smaller than the other one) and WBzip.exe from your MakeScript.7z to VistaPE\Tools and overwrote the files there. Now that script is also adding the values to the registry.

Edit: Ok, the problem, that it won't get to the point, where MakeScript compiles is, because the reg2WBSprg.exe, which comes with the MakeScript.script, seems to be broken.

Edit: Is there a way I can just use a setup and the registry file, so MakeScripts knows that it has to "install" the Program?

[pedrole15]

Hi, BrollyLSSJ
Rather edit many time your same post make a new one , then i 'm informed by email that there is new post

Registry from InstallRite ==> no that don't work
In Makescript I use Reg2WBSprog from psc last version here
Search in forum about this program and it's possibility

Rather installing MakeScript in %Tools% if you get problem
try install it in c:\makescript\ or other but outside your Winbuilder Folder

Start by a simple app for begin

[BrollyLSSJ]

Thank you for the reply. I only tested it with PC Wizard, as I was not able to get the portable version working, while CPU-Z portable got integrated and is working fine. I will try to use the portable version again, maybe it is a problem with my DELL Server, as if I remember it right, it was working on an HP Server.

[pedrole15]

I don't recommand to use MakeScript in WinBuider Folder
Because it search required tools in differentl folder depending on where MakeScript is installed
I make it a little complex . so that's why you get some problem

[m4dm4Xz]

Hi,
I'm new here and really newbie, so i have downloaded the standalone version to make a new script to test my first own script program with LiveXP. I can create the script with "MakeScript" and if i try to test it in QEMU it has a shortcut on the desktop and in start menu but unable to open the program it says that is no longer work properly like it doesn't find the exe to execute.

Can someone help me out, please?

Thank you

m4dm4Xz

Ps: I use WinBuilder 078 SP6 and the latest Makescript.7z (standalone) create the script in another folder from LiveXP and copy my script to WinBuilder078SP6\Projects\LiveXP\Apps\File Tasks folder. Oh i try to create editplus script.

[pscEx]

When you ask for help, you have to give us a chance to see what's going wrong.

And that is done by inluding the (zipped) log.html in the post.

Nobody of the forum's members has the "magic crystal ball" and can tell you w/o the log, what's going wrong.

Peter

[m4dm4Xz]

Oh, didn't notice that, sorry.

Ps: attached file removed

[pscEx]

The log you posted does not help.

Needed:
The log of a COMPLETE build (including your newly created script) until the run into qEmu.

[EncodedFile-EditPlus 2-codepage.txt]

That's from my script before the "Encoded File" section start because after that is a long code the acctually size of my script is 17.6mb(zipped), so i give the upper code but when it doesn't help i search an upload host later.

Unpack can not find Section [EditPlus 2] !!

I think that either MakeScript or WinBuilder has some troubles with the name.

I do not remember, anywhen having seen a section with a space in the name.

Try to rename everything to EditPlus_2.

Peter

[m4dm4Xz]

okay and can i uncheck another point to build the pe faster? Now i have unchecked all appz. (exception editplus)

Thank you very much to help me, vielen vielen dank echt spitze das sie mir hier weiter helfen. :-)

Thank you very much to help me, vielen vielen dank echt spitze das sie mir hier weiter helfen. :-)

I understand that you for your tests want to have a minimized build time, and you do not need 'other functionality' in the PE.
You can unselect a couple more scripts.
But to explain, is rather difficult.

Try this:

There exists a project "nativeEx" which is the root of LiveXP.
All the fundamental scripts should be identic (I hope that Lancelot and me did not make too many mistakes in syncronizing).

Download this project.
You can click the "nativeEx" server in the download page, and you have to download _barebone and _core.

(If you want, define 'Minimum'. But the delivered 'Standard' will not take remarkable more time)

Do a first build to check, and then add your script, which is under development.

If everything works well, you can go back to LiveXP.

Peter

[m4dm4Xz]

Being to build a new image...

[m4dm4Xz]

Oh, just see your post. About nativeEX should be a great test imagePE let's test some after that. My build was finish and it's able to open editplus. For the first i tested it and it came with a blank gray and can't see the text seems it's buggy (bug), i think it needs some files more or something other, hehe :-)

But for the first we (if i can call it) are a little further on.

Thank you

m4dm4Xz

[pscEx]

Congratulations!

That has been your first step to become a successful .script developer!

Whenever you have more questions, do not worry to ask them.

See at my signature ...

Peter

[m4dm4Xz]

Try this:

Download this project.
You can click the "nativeEx" server in the download page, and you have to download _barebone and _core.

Peter

Uhmm, I'm little confused i'm very sorry for my english it's poor.
1) From where should i download it, Winbuilder > Stable version or from the stable projects category?
2) If i download the winbuilder and update through winbuilder, can i get the same version as from the stable projects category who is in the winbuilder download page?
3) But i can not use the old winbuilder that i used to build LiveXP, right?

i'm very sorry for my english and for these questions. But thank you for your time.

m4dm4Xz

Edit: thank you and i really happy for the first script but that's all with your great help.

[pscEx]

Uhmm, I'm little confused i'm very sorry for my english it's poor.

The usual way to download a new project, in this case "nativeEx":
In the WinBuilder which you already have, there is a 'Download button' in the upper right.
Click and wait, until image is stable.
Check 'nativeex.boot-land.net' in the right and wait again.
Check "nativeEx_Barebone", "nativeEx_Core" and "Tools" in the left.
Click "Download" button and be patient for some minutes.

The project tree will come back and you can check 'nativeEx_barebone'.

Do nothing else than to define your source CD. Build the project.
It SHOULD run into qEmu.

Peter

[m4dm4Xz]

ahh, thanks being to download nativeEx with the option complete on the top and checked "nativeEx_Barebone", "nativeEx_Core" and "Tools".

[Lancelot]

it says that is no longer work properly like it doesn't find the exe to execute.

right click on shortcut and check target box to get a clue.

Ps: I use WinBuilder 078 SP6 and the latest Makescript.7z (standalone) create the script in another folder from LiveXP and copy my script to WinBuilder078SP6\Projects\LiveXP\Apps\File Tasks folder. Oh i try to create editplus script.

wb078sp6 is fine for your tasks.

1) From where should i download it, Winbuilder > Stable version or from the stable projects category?

Short answer: use project's winbuilder version. As far as I know you started with LiveXP project, than use wb077rc2, available here

2) If i download the winbuilder and update through winbuilder, can i get the same version as from the stable projects category who is in the winbuilder download page?

yes (after download also check project page(s) to see which wb version used to build the projects)

3) But i can not use the old winbuilder that i used to build LiveXP, right?

To clear, here is the current version summary of projects:
LiveXP: officially wb077rc2 ( wb078sp6 (and probably wb078sp7) can also be used.)
VistaPE-Capi: wb078sp4 and later
Multi7PE: I am not sure, but I guess wb078sp4 and later will be fine
Win7RescuePE: wb078sp4 and later
Vista Leopard: wb078sp4 and/or later
nativeex_rescuepe: latest wb
pe21: wb076
nativepe: wb074 , wb072
....
Whatever the project you use, you will quickly learn which wb version to use .

I see you start to understand basics of script writing, I advice you to pack apps files than attach to scripts. This will result with a smaller sized script with simpler coding.

here is an example:
pack Edit_Plus files to an archive with name Edit_Plus.7z

copy paste following to a editplus2b.txt file,

open winbuilder, choose script,
click edit
click attachment
click add
==>new page will open
click add
choose Edit_Plus.7z
click start
----->back to main screen.

Probably you already made a build previously,
if so click "small green button" on this new edit plus script,
than on "LiveXP\Finish\2 Create Image\Create ISO" script, choose "create iso" script and click "Create a New ISO" button.
now test with your emulator to see how things goes. (or choose LiveXP\Finish\3 Emulation\ qEmu script and press small green button on the script)

tip: when packing to Edit_Plus.7z , do not pack the folder, pack the files and folders within the folder.

Oh, thank you and right i'm beginning to learn about script writing.

tip: when packing to Edit_Plus.7z , do not pack the folder, pack the files and folders within the folder.

hmm, i'm little confused(again) you sayed packed files of editplus but don't pack the folder, so should i pack the files one by one(they are very much) or pack all files and folders inside the "editplus folder" into one packed file.
If i pack files one by one how can i named it all to editplus.7z with the same name?

I build my first nativeEX_barbone image with no warnings but if i try it with QEMU, i see only a blue background. Then i tested it again with VMware and see the blue background for a long time after that some errors came up.
It says:
An error has occured while setting up "browseui.dll". This error has been logged, the installation will continue
the same with shdocvm.dll and then
Windows cannot find 'R:\resShort.exe'Make sure you wright the name correctly...
after that it reboots
Ps: I didn't edit anything downloaded it and press blue build button. My source is XP SP2 Original with no hotfixes. I attached the log file too. :-)

[Lancelot]

Sorry for confusion,

you sayed packed files of editplus but don't pack the folder

nope, I wrote "pack the files and folders within the folder" but you are right to get confusion because of my bad english.

what I am trying to explain is this:
to pack files, "do not do this"


browse inside folder, select all files (CTRL+A) and do this



This is my preference due to my experiences. not a limitation of wb or projects, "do not do this" also can be used by different script writing which I am sure you will learn in a shortwhile and understand why I choose the other way

[m4dm4Xz]

okay, thanks for explaining
