Hello

 

I have recently switched from using Win7PE to Win8PE

 

I have tried to copy across some scripts that were working on the Win7PE build, however in the Win8PE build some of the registry updates don't appear to be working (although no errors are reported during the build)

 

Here is an example of the code that worked on Win7PE but doesn't seem to be working in Win8PE

[Software.AddReg]
Echo,"Loading registry hive: [software]"
RegHiveLoad,Tmp_Software,%RegSoftware%
Echo,"Writing new values on registry hive.."
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_Software\ShadowStor\ShadowProtectPE\Settings,"LoggingDir","B:\Logs\"
RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,Tmp_Software\ShadowStor\ShadowProtectPE\Settings,"LoggingEnabled", 0x00000001
RegHiveUnLoad,Tmp_Software

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

The code you posted is using native winbuilder commands so the project makes no difference in that regard.

I would check you log (or post it here if you need help) and make sure the variable %RegSoftware% is resolving to

%TargetDir%\Windows\System32\config\Software

and while your at it make sure %TargetDir% is pointing to where your build target actually resides and that the registry hives exist in that location at the time your running the code.

 

in order to see the info in the winbuilder log you may have to go into Winbuilder > Tools > and check Show Variables, Log Original Statement, Debug log, verbose

Thanks for responding.

 

I have gone into WinBuilder Tools and checked the options suggested and re-run the build.

 

As far as I can see there are no errors in the script in question, other than the Script has no certification (but many of the scripts have that message).

 

I'm a newbie as far as using Winbuilder is concerned when scripts don't work out-of-the-box, so would appreciate some pointers.

 

The log for the entire build is 18MB, so I'm hoping that I don't need to upload that.

 

I have copied the output from the script in question below and I'm hoping that this provides the necessary detail to identify what the issue is.

unfortunately, the log doesn't seem very helpful in this case as all things point to a successful build.

 

A couple more questions:

• Have you verified using a registry editor in PE that the registry entries didn't get written or are you just going by the program not writing the logs where the reg entry points?
• When you used this plugin in Win7PE and it worked was your Win7 build media x86 (32bit) or x64 (64bit)
• Is your Win8 build media x86 (32bit) or x64 (64bit)

If you were previously using x86 Win7 and now you are using x64 I can see why you might suddenly be seeing this issue switching projects to a x64 build. IF the registry entries are being created but the program isn't using them. in that case you would need to change the script code to:

[Software.AddReg]
Echo,"Loading registry hive: [software]"
RegHiveLoad,Tmp_Software,%RegSoftware%
Echo,"Writing new values on registry hive.."
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_Software\Wow6432Node\ShadowStor\ShadowProtectPE\Settings,"LoggingDir","B:\Logs\"
RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,Tmp_Software\Wow6432Node\ShadowStor\ShadowProtectPE\Settings,"LoggingEnabled", 0x00000001
RegHiveUnLoad,Tmp_Software

in order for a 32bit program to read the registry settings on a x64 PE.

Yes I went from Win7 x86 to Win8 x64, sorry if I realised the significance of that fact I would have included.

 

I'll update the script and see how I go.

 

Cheers
