@Psc,

It was me that was experimenting with winbuilder not @yahoouk. You can point your debugger at:

www.paraglidernc.com/winbuilder/projects

to see the version that fails to download with the winbuilder download center. Note this is only a test version not for public consumption.

Thanks, Paraglider!

There are some scripts with

Version=

There should be a numerical value which gives the download center the chance to decide for newer version.

But WinBuilder should react on this user mistake and interpret the empty version as version #0.

I'm going to fix that.

Tested with 7048. Still OK.
It might be final version of beta, but not sure.
Waiting for FinalRC.

Tested with build 7057. Still good

Help needed...
(Please note that I already spent a lot of time on the forum search to help myself... but with no luck)

I am under a standard XP Pro with administrator rights.
I want to test Winbuilder with the last Win7 b7057...

First I tried Winbuilder 76 (and 74) with www.paraglidernc.com/winbuilder/projects as updates sources...
and get a strange error :



and winbuilder will hang there eternally



So I downloaded the package from http://win7pe.winbuilder.net

Of course I modified the source, target and iso paths to my own ones.

And of course... it failed





I read many times in the forum and in this thread that Imagex can have problem to mount .wim files, but I can't find any solution to my problem...

So... any idea for a good-will wannabe winbuilder newbie ?

[paraglider]

That is a known problem with the project on my website. As I said it was a test project not for public consumption. Its now deleted.

Dear All,

Sorry for any inconvenience with Win7PE.
I've just uploaded new clean scripts to server. (of course deleted all old scripts from it)
I recommended to use winutil.exe instead of imagex because I've lot of headache with imagex mounting errors for many days.
As well as very slow process with mounting, copying and unmounting image with it.
So I disabled imagex in new scripts.
I've added a new MMC Script in there now.
You can call from run box, e.g. mmc.exe, diskmgmt.msc, devmgmt.msc, ect...
Please try with penetcfg.exe with network connection because disabled firewall service in it.
Filesharing and mapping are testing now.
Next step will be Audio and DirectX enabled.
Will delay because it depand on my free time.
If any one can do it, will very much appreciate with.

Many thanks,

B Regards,

Thanx for the quick anwser and update


by the way, you should update the all-in-one .7z file too.

That's good work anyway !

wimutil does not work on win 7 x64. Imagex works great. Don't know why you would want to remove it. I have had zero problems with imagex.

[yahoouk]

@paraglider
Good to hear it works on 64bit with Imagex
I've already told that Imagex makes me headache for several days when mounting.
................................

Now I understand that depends on host and system. So if you wants to involve with Imagex please change following section in 0- preconfig script which I disabled Imagex.

[AutoFindImagex]

Please try with Imagex.

Hi All,

I've tested with Windows Aik, running smoothly.
Now Windows aik is supported.
I've set free ram to 128mb in my script so if you don't have enough ram, set it to 64 or whatsoever.
It is running in 512mb virtual box very well.
It is a must to disable MMC script before using Waik.
Any comments, welcome!!!

I have still the same early error

RegRead - Failed to read specified key from: [HKLM]Section: [SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WimFltr]  Key: [DisplayName] to variable:: [%RegName%]

A key, a parameter is missing somewhere in my registry ?

[f2neo]

I tried with the preconfig modification to use imagex again...
and have the exact same error as yesterday...

"error with mounting sources" witht the same

FileCopy - Failed to copy [%BaseDir%\Temp\win7_pe\BootWimSrc\Windows\System32\*.nls] to: [S:\7057\live_target\Windows\System32]

So... whatever I choose... I failed...

I am downloading the AIK for windows 7 beta right but I think I am missing the whole thing

[yahoouk]

@f2neo
did you install wimfltr.inf?
It is in tools folder, right click on it and install it.

Thanks for your comment.

Thanks ! I don"t know I had to do this !

The error disappeared, the iso was created !

I got a last error with the automatic VirtualBox test, I have Virtual Box 2.1.4 installed
but got the error :

RegRead - Failed to read specified key from: [HKLM]Section: [SOFTWARE\InnoTek\VirtualBox]  Key: [InstallDir] to variable:: [%VBPath%]

I'll test the iso now "manually".

>EDITED : I tested the iso "manually" with virtualbox and it is ok!
Now I will have to learn all the little tweaks but I am happy to have something to start with
Thanx to you all !

[pscEx]

The newer versions of VBox read a different reg key.

To be version independend, you can use (WB 76 only!)

System,ERROROFF,2

 RegRead,HKLM,SOFTWARE\InnoTek\VirtualBox,InstallDir,%VBPath%

 If,NOTEXISTVAR,%VBPath%,RegRead,HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Sun\xVM VirtualBox",InstallDir,%VBPath%

For WB 74 you should replace the erroneus line by:

RegRead,HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Sun\xVM VirtualBox",InstallDir,%VBPath%

Very glad to know you succeeded.
You should install wimfltr.inf before running vistaPE or Win7PE project at the first time.
The late error is related the path of Virturlbox installed, would be different folder of your system.
should install the same drive of your current running system.

Thanks for your report.

That's wrong! See my previous post.

This error is due to the fact that Sun changed the registry key. The standard install folder is still the same.

That's right, I don't have that experience.
Thanks Guru, I've learnt something from you.

Anybody tested with Waik?????

[paraglider]

Soon as I enable MMC script I get a bsod on startup - STOP C000021a ( the verification of a knowndll failed ). Thats using win7 x86 beta 1 build 7000 as source.

[paraglider]

Note the embedded software.reg in the MMC script contains this as the first registry entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Windows \Microsoft\MMC]
@=""

Don't think that is correct.

[yahoouk]

Don't think that is correct.

Any other error while building?
Might be mounting error, I've experience when mounting incompleted and process continued.

Have you used Imagex or Wimutil?

I've tested with software.reg several times with no error at all.

Thanks,

yahooUK

[paraglider]

What version of windows 7 are you using for the source? I see exactly the same stop error if I build from vista sp2 or win 7 build 7000 as source.

[yahoouk]

What version of windows 7 ,,,,,,

I've tested with beta 7000, 7048 and 7057, with no errors.

Edit:: tested again with Vista, 2K8 Server source as well.

Running smoothly, vista & 2k8 source get same error with .msc calls, some files are missing like drvmgmt.msc, drvmgr.dll.... but nothing boot error.

If you doubt with software.reg, you can remove from it and test without it. See how is going on.

Anyone has errors with MMC script?

Thanks,

Not too serious this time but even if I changed my VirtualBox.script Process section to :

[Process]

System,ERROROFF,2

RegRead,HKLM,SOFTWARE\InnoTek\VirtualBox,InstallDir,%VBPath%

If,NOTEXISTVAR,%VBPath%,RegRead,HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Sun\xVM VirtualBox",InstallDir,%VBPath%

#Message,"_%VBPath%_",Information

If,_%VBPath%_,Equal,__,Run,%ScriptFile%,NotInstalled

If,_%VBPath%_,NotEqual,__,Run,%ScriptFile%,Installed

I still got an error :

Message: VirtualBox must be installed in order to run it!
