Is there any place where I can change the boot message "Windows is loading files" for a windows 7 PE? I looked in several mui files, but none of them had this text. Any help appreciated.

Hi Hennisch,
did you change the Text within VistaPE. If so, you can use this bootmgr.mui also for win7.

do you mean change the language?
you have to have bootmgr.exe.mui (and memtest.exe.mui) that match with bootmgr "locale" setting.
check your bcd file for bootmgr locale setting
z:\boot\bcd is example for your bcd path.
see "locale" language setting, if you have "en-US" it will not display others language.

note: if you have bcd inside ISO file you have to copy file first. bcdedit can not read bcd file from "read only" media.

bcdedit /store z:\boot\bcd /set {bootmgr} locale "de-DE"de-DE for German language, then copy correspond bootmgr.exe.mui and memtest.exe.mui

I want to change the message, not the language.
I tried to find the message in the bootmgr.exe.mui but could not find it.
@Zetup
Where can you change the message within VistaPE?

@Hennisch: Here is how i did it (Host-OS: Win7 Ult. x64 [For me it only worked with the VistaPE BOOTMGR.EXE.MUI, 'cause this works for me and it doesn't work with the win7pe BOOTMGR.EXE.MUI, i never tried to archive this goal with the win7pe BOOTMGR.EXE.MUI! - Keep this in mind!)
Required Tools:
Resource Hacker (http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/)
PEChecksum (http://www.codeproje...PEChecksum.aspx) - SignUp req. (better use a trashemail!)
Notepad
Pre-Step:
Check what locale your PE is (in doubt you can use bcdedit):
- Mount your iso.
- Start Cmd.exe as Administrator
- Type bcdedit /enum all /store E:\BOOT\bcd (If "E:\" is your "CD-Drive")
- Check under "Windows-Start-Manager" the attribute "locale" (my is en-US)
- Close Cmd.exe
How-To:
Resource Hacker:
- Get the correct (locale en-US) BOOTMGR.EXE.MUI (in this case here!) from a VISTAPE or VISTA System (Take a look under a Boot Folder).
- Start Resource Hacker
- Open that BOOTMGR.EXE.MUI (show all Files in OpenDialog within ResourceHa..)
- Expand the Folder 23 down to 1033 (Mark the 1033)
- Go Action, Save Resource as Binary File
- Choose a name with xml Extension (like: win7pe.xml)
Notepad:
- Open the win7pe.xml File
- Search for "Windows is loading"
- Replace the string with what ever, but keep in mind, you cannot extend the length (27 char max!)
- Save the "new" win7pe.xml
Resource Hacker (should still be open):
- Mark the 23 Folder
- Go Action, Replace other Resource
- Klick "Open file with new resource"
- Browse for the modified win7pe.xml
- Type for "Resource Type:" 23
- Type for "Resource Name:" BOOTMGR.XSL
- Type for "Resource Language:" 1033
- Klick "Replace"
- Go File, Save
= Use this "new" File for the Boot Folder for next iso build.
My iso structure is:
BOOTMGR <- File!
BOOT <- Folder
- en-US <-Folder
- BOOTMGR.EXE.MUI <-File!
- Fonts <- Folder
- WGL4_BOOT.TTF <- File!
- Sources <- Folder
- boot.wim <- File!
(I used the whole Boot Folder from VistaPE because i had a VistaPE Build before!)
hope that helps

Thanks for the tip
with :
bcdedit /store bcd /set {bootmgr} locale fr-FR
bcdedit /store bcd /set {default} locale fr-FR
bcdedit /store bcd /set {memdiag} locale fr-FR
I See My French language in the start of Win7PE.
windows is loading files -- > windows charge les fichiers
starting windows -- > démarrage de windows
It works fine for the text in french at the startup of win7PE when i boot it with the bootmanager boot\etfsboot.com
By cons, if I start win7PE with grub4dos (chainloader /Bootmgr) the text "Windows is loading files" stay in English ??? any idea to translate it with grub4dos
with :
bcdedit /store bcd /set {bootmgr} locale fr-FR
bcdedit /store bcd /set {default} locale fr-FR
bcdedit /store bcd /set {memdiag} locale fr-FR

Make_PE3 program will auto-set the Boot Message, e.g. in Chinese

To See My French language in the start of Win7PE.iso with grub4dos (same in other language)
windows is loading files -- > windows charge les fichiers
starting windows -- > démarrage de windows
Copy French Bootmgr.exe.mui to Boot\fr-FR
change the store contains with bcdedit :
bcdedit /store Boot\bcd /set {bootmgr} locale fr-FR
bcdedit /store Boot\bcd /set {default} locale fr-FR
bcdedit /store Boot\bcd /set {memdiag} locale fr-FR
You can test the result with : bcdedit /store Boot\bcd /enum all
1) grub4dos with ISO emulation
Menu.lst
title Boot Win7pe.iso
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /Win7pe.iso
map /Win7pe.iso (0xff)
map --hook
root (0xff)
chainloader (0xff)/BOOTMGR
I make Iso with mkisofs everything will work OK
2) grub4dos non ISO with every folder : boot, source, and other folder not in wim file
Menu.lst
title Boot Win7pe
chainloader /Bootmgr
If i make Iso with this mkisofs command it's OK but the text "windows is loading files" stay in english.
windows is loading files -- > windows charge les fichiers
starting windows -- > démarrage de windows

change the store contains with bcdedit :

chainloader (0xff)/BOOTMGR
I make Iso with mkisofs everything will work OK
mkisofs.exe -rdNlDTJ -force-uppercase -duplicates-once -joliet-long -hide-joliet-trans-tbl -volid Win7PE -eltorito-boot "boot/grldr" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -hide boot.catalog -o "E:\xxx\Win7PE.iso" "E:\xxx\Target\Win7PE"

mkisofs -v -iso-level 4 -l -J -joliet-long -R -volid "Win7PE" -A GRLDR/MKISOFS -sysid "Win32" -b "Boot/grldr" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -hide boot.catalog -duplicates-once -o "E:\xxx\Win7PE.iso" "E:\xxx\Target\Win7PE"
