I need LiveXP without any tools or addons, just IE and PPPOE support. Size of iso must be small as it possible. How I can make it? Is there any script for WinBuilder?

[amalux]

This one should do what you need: http://www.mediafire...rc3mtw-IEGN.rar

Extract project to root (C:\ lx80rc3mtw-IEGN) and run winbuilder.exe inside.

Choose your XP(SP2) x86 retail, unmodified source extracted to folder on hard drive.

Final image is 110MB, you could probably shave 10-15MB but won't improve performance and could cause troubles.

Big thx! I`ll try it today.

[Mankiz]

Don`t work. Windows boot screen appears, then blink a grey screen and reboot.
I do all as you say.

[amalux]

Please post a link (mediafire etc.) to your log.html created in project directory.

Confirm you are using unmodified (no slipstream, nLite etc.), retail (not OEM) M$ source and version used.

Confirm build environment is real hardware (no virtualization), architecture (x86, amd64 etc.) and Windows version.

[Mankiz]

OK This is my log http://dl.dropbox.co...180837/log.html
I used unpacked en_win_xp_pro_with_sp2_vl.iso from MSDN
build environment - Win 7 pro x86 No virtualization. CPU Athlon II x3 440 without overclocking

[amalux]

I get an error 404 with that link but I think VL is your issue.

Which win i should use en_winxp_sp2.iso or en_winxp_home_with_sp2.iso?

[amalux]

If they're unmodified, retail images, either should work. Did you try the xppsp2(x86) I suggested?

I'll try to look at this closer on Monday when I have access to a Win7 machine but it is almost certainly a source issue...

RegWrite - Failed to write REG key in root key: [HKLM] Type: [0x1] A file was not chosen from: [wb-hive\ControlSet001\Services\swenum\Devices\{2f412ab5-ed3a-4590-ab24-b0ce2aa77d3c}\{9B365890-165F-11D0-A195-0020AFD156E4}\{6994ad04-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}]: Îïåðàöèÿ óñïåøíî çàâåðøåíà

New Log with source you send me. Still don`t work.http://www.mediafire.com/?vt2079n0l2adrqj

[Mankiz]

Hm. Maybe i need use russian version of XP for source? Coz my build environment russian Windows 7

[amalux]

Well, it doesn't seem to be language related but it's difficult for me to test. Something is preventing regWrite access to certain hives but I can't see why and haven't been able to reproduce. I'll know more when I test on Win 7 machine...

[Wonko the Sane]

To avoid any possible problem with 7, just set up a VM with XP in it and build in the VM.
You can get a pre-made (from MS) XP .vhd here:

I`m confused. What i should use, real machine or vm?

[amalux]

The general rule is to try different things until something works

Personally, I have had troubles with virtualized build environments but that could be because of the oldish hardware I'm stuck with or the version of VM I'm using, configuration etc. Honestly, I don't think Windows 7 environment is the issue, I've built many working LiveXP's in Windows 7 in the past so that shouldn't be a problem. I do think it's something peculiar to your system environment but I'm drawing a blank on what it might be. I haven't seen those type of errors before and if I can't reproduce an error it's difficult to advise a solution.

[pscEx]

All troubles appear with controlset001. This looks like a question of access rights.

Mount the SOURCE-CD's setupreg.hiv in regedit and check the acces rights for that key. If necessary, change them.

BTW: When you send a log in case of help request, the "Debug Log" gives more information to the helper.

Hi,

Another suggestion, make sure you don't have a Antivirus blocking access to the registry.

Try to build with AV disabled or add winbuilder.exe to the AV exclusion list.

[amalux]

@Mankiz

I can now reproduce your issue, give me some time to sort it out...

[Mankiz]

Hi,

I try at home and at work. Work machine has Microsoft Security Essentials and my home machine has Dr.Web So it is not AV problem.

[amalux]

All errors are resolved in build, now IE8 is acting buggy in PE...

[Mankiz]

And? What i should do?

[amalux]

Just be patient for now; I'm still trying some things and will keep you posted.

[Wonko the Sane]

I`m confused. What i should use, real machine or vm?

I presume some disambiguation is needed.
One thing is to use a VM as building environment, and another thing is to use it to test an actual build.

I have seen NO VM ever having a problem running a "standard" OS (in order to build).
And I actually seen very little problems in testing a build in them, though of course the more the build is "non-standard" or uses some "particular" feature, the most likely it is it will have problems.

Long story, short, I can only build a PE with usable IE8 from my XP test machine. From any other machine, real or virtual; XP or Win 7 results in failure. I can get rid of the regwrite errors but it still results in a normal PE with unusable IE8. I can only assume this is a limitation or characteristic of the IE8 script, perhaps saydin77, the scripts author, can comment further on a possible solution.

[Mankiz]

Maybe just remove IE8 script and build without it?
