Yes, that's the page I linked to in my message. That's ERDC 2005 re-branded (all they did is remove Firefox). It's a production release, version 5.0. The new version is announced at Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack Announces Upcoming Releases. A little more detail is at Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset.

Would this be an option to implement into the IE7 script. Add it to the Addon's menu in Programs. Lets you turn on/off proxy settings within VistaPE.

I've included EXE as well as Autoit Source. Didn't have time to find an icon for it.

could you also investigate how to enable and disable firewall on Vista Pe? if you want to try some reverse engennering...take a look at how LSoft make it possible on their WinRe.

My RealVNC script does this prior to launching the RealVNC service.

I noticed that the About of IE from within Vistape using Vista SP1 and Waik 1.1 is:

Version: 7.0.5384.4
Cipher Strength: 0-bit

But in normal Windows Vista with SP1 installed:

Version: 7.0.6001.18000
Cipher Strength: 256-bit

Is this correct? Does the script not pull all the correct files for IE7?

[risolutore]

could someone add also the command inside startmenu?

Updated Enable Proxy app. Compile in Autoit and add it to the XPEinit.7z attachment and include this line to add it to the Start>Programs>Addons menu. I'm sure it can be tweaked but nice to have if you just need to enable proxy real quick.

Has anyone successfully compiled the x64 versions of EXPLORER and IE?

[jezza333]

Top stuff mate, thanks

[rehtorix]

Btw, noticed that sometimes explorer will switch from "double-click" to "one-click" mode without further notification. Also in folder options one-click option is grayed out and double-click is default, but if you click double-click option it will actually switch to one-click mode, weird huh?

It's a small annoyance as you can bypass it by closing and reopening the explorer window in question... Are there any ideas what might be causing this though, missing component or registry setting perhaps?
