This script is primarily one of the starter tools I designed for my new WimEx project.

But I think that it also can be useful for existing projects, and therefore I publish it as 'usable preview' right now.

Especially in Win7RescuePE last weeks the issue came up, that dependend on the source CD (Enterprise!) the image indexes vary.

This script helps the user to choose the image he wants to use for his PE build.

Screenshoot:

How it works:
It uses the app 'WimInfo.exe' which I wrote for this purpose.

WimInfo.exe:

• does not need a WAIK
• does not need WimUtils or similar
• does not need wimgapi.dll installed

It is just a side-result of the 'raw WIM reader' I'm working on.

WimInfo.exe fills the scroll boxes with the image indexes of the actual source CD. The user can decide which images he / she wants to use for the project build.

The choosen indexes are passed as variables to the project, which can use them e.g. inside PreConfig.

Some security checks: If e.g. the source CD has been changed, !ImageIndex.script complains that you have to rebuild the list and make a new choice.

You can download the script here: http://nativeex.boot.../ImageIndex.zip

script version 2 runs w/o troubles on my new Win7 32 bit German installation.
(version 1 reproduces your troubles on my win7)

Version 2 is online! URL in the first post.

Changes:

• Scrollbox choice is done by WimInfo.exe (hopefully correct in most situations. If not: Sorry, user has to change)
• Some new variables are generated:
• %WimLanguage%
• %WimArchitecture%
  currently I see: 0 > x86, 9 > x64
• Version:
• %WimMajor%
• %WimMinor%
• %WimBuild%
• %WimSPBuild%
• %WimSPLevel%

[/list]I think that now the info which can be got from the WIM, is complete (as far as possibly needed for some script decisions)

Version 5 online

Main changes:

• No crash with invalid source CD
• WimInfo.exe returns 0 in case of success, else Window error code.

The return code can be checked after the ShellExecute command in %exitcode%

Sorry, I uploaded the .script rather than the .zip.

Corrected.

Version 6 available. Link in the first post.

The script now handles also an alternate interface and interfaces in different languages.
For sample, German interface is implemented.

Version 7 available. Link in the first post.

It fullfills a special wish of ctmag.

The 'default' index in the scroll box can be chosen following a list of tags which may be in the image name.

The list is displayed on a label and may be changed depending on the project (Does not disturbe certification!).
