I have been pulling my hair out over getting this error to go away. At first i had to hunt down the files listed in the text file and now when i run i get error "error mounting source" i click ok and then recieve another error "error mounting boot.wim" i tried 2 diff win 7 cds. one was starter and other ultimate. I will attach my debug log...hopefully some one can decipher it for me.

heres my log..apparently im a idiot as i cant find the attachment button if it even exists.

Don't worry, I also don't have too much hair anymore

I think your problem is that you copied your WinBuilder into a directory on your desktop. IIRC WinBuilder and VistaPE/Win7PEs don't like that at all. Copy the directory to C:\ or D:\ (don't move, then it keeps it's security settings) and retry.

i copied the directory to the D:\ drive and re ran....ran error, and the same point...any other ideaas that could cause it? im running WB on server 03 if it matters so no UAC issues to worry about

[MichaelZ]

From your log I noticed you have Win Server 2003 as host system. Did you install WAIK on it? In the log it is stated that you use imagex from the tools directory. Probably the necessary filter driver is missing that is installed with WAIK and that is required for imagex. Try to rename imagex.exe and retry. If another wim mounting tool is supported in your project and is included in the tools directory then it might work.

yes WAIK is installed, i renamed imagex in the tools directory of my project and tried to run but it popped up the need these files text box and failed quicker than it did before, i will try to reinstall WAIK and see if that helps

try this

[MichaelZ]

yes WAIK is installed

I just downloaded the project you are using (I had deleted it two weeks ago). In folder Build edit the file 0-preconfig.script.

Old:

Echo,"Preparing system..."

If,notExistFile,"%Tools%\imagex.exe",ShellExecuteEx,open,"%Tools%\Tools.txt"

If,notExistFile,"%Tools%\imagex.exe",message,"You#$sneed#$sto#$sread#$sNeedFiles.txt,#$sthen#$sgo#$son",Halt

If,notExistFile,"%Tools%\wimutil.exe",run,%ScriptFile%,WinUtil

New:

Echo,"Preparing system..."

##If,notExistFile,"%Tools%\imagex.exe",ShellExecuteEx,open,"%Tools%\Tools.txt"

##If,notExistFile,"%Tools%\imagex.exe",message,"You#$sneed#$sto#$sread#$sNeedFiles.txt,#$sthen#$sgo#$son",Halt

If,notExistFile,"%Tools%\wimutil.exe",run,%ScriptFile%,WinUtil

When imagex.exe is still renamed in your tools folde, then you will use the script-included WimUtil that should work fine on your system.

mountpath: c:\winbuilder080\temp\win7pe\bootwimsrc
wimfile:e:\sources\boot.wim
image number:1
tempdir: 0

any other ideas guys?

[vvurat]

right click wimfltr.inf select install. copy wimfltr.inf to inf folder. copy wimfltr.sys to drivers folder. copy wimgapi.dll to system32 folder. try again.

[p8ntballgod87]

all those files already existed in those folders, i did the install of wimfltr, it said it already existed also but i replaced it...same error

[p8ntballgod87]

ok well im geting somewhere! i copied all the required files and ran it this time on my home pc, it mounts fine now but the program stops responding at the 1-copying files script...i gave it a while to make sure it wasnt just slow but no go

In the Copy Files script are you doing a full file copy and do you have enough space,,

Requirements to build and run.
1. Winbuilder Version 077 or above.
2. Source machine should be Windows XP sp2 or above.(Only support for x86)
3. Need Minimum Free HDD space 4gb recommended.(for mount boot.wim and install.wim)
4. Minimum RAM should be 768 Mb for 32bit, 1Gb RAM is needed for 64bit build)
5. For Virtual Testing, installed Vmware player/workstation or VisualBox will be required. For 64bit, unfortunately no Emulators is fully supported yet.
6. CD R/W Rom for cd build.
7. USB 512Mb or above for USB Booting users.


full file copy takes a few minutes,,

[PaPeuser]

If you get a build and it boots to a green backround, and then reboots

Under Multi 7PEs ..under Shell ,, make sure both Explorer Shell and PEshell are selected

[p8ntballgod87]

i have 168 gb free on drive, i tried full copy as fell as standard copy and it seems to stop in the same place. i have let it set for 20min and it doesnt progress. if i try to click halt button it immediately stops responding and crashes

[PaPeuser]

Save your tools,, and try redownloading project again, do not make any changes that have been suggested yet!!


OR Can I suggest that you try this project,,,
this update package of Multi Win7PE ..from JFX called Multi Win7PE_SE
Download this to a new folder. And unzip

[p8ntballgod87]

ok i tried redownloading the project and copying over the tools directory....exact same issue as before! it stops responding as soon as it hits the copying files script

[PaPeuser]

I take it no log files if Winbuilder stops responding

In Winbuilder select the Copy Files script and in script view..
run just the Copy Files script by clicking little grren arrow,, this should error just say ok,, does it run and finish.

a log file should be available for just this script

[wimb]

In project of JFX I always need to replace \Projects\Tools\win7pe_SE\x86\imagex version 6001
with newer version 7600 from WAIK for Windows 7 in case WAIK 7600 is installed

Then no problem.
My processor is AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 4800+
I think it has to do with installed WAIK version .... (or with processor)

Hope this helps.

Hello,,,,
You are now building on a Win7 x86 machine? Do you run as administrator?

In your log file it says you use - BaseDir = J:\WinBuilder080
Could you try
C:\Winbuilder080

Source directory D:
Is D: your DVD drive? I thought you said you copied files to a folder;
I use all files from win7 DVD copied to folder also on
C:\OS\Win7x64

I have seen before some people have problems with Winbuilder on another drive or not on C:

In fact I have seen Winbuilder access errors that sometimes occur with some configurations.

Same issue either way. And yes i ran as ADMIN. i have UAC disabled as well
