NET USE command over http (external ip, not LAN) ---> error 53

net use pxe http error 53 path not found

hi 69jakk

 

Internet providers usually block Netbios and windows sharing traffic to reduce virus spreading. There are several other ways you can try accessing your share but anything that comes to mind will require adding additional components into your PE image.

 

1. some sort of tunnelling solution between your server and client PC. Perhaps OpenVPN. Map network drive over that.

2. httpdisk driver. Put windows installation ISO on your www server and mount it as a disk and do installation.

 

maybe someone else will have further suggestions. good luck.

and I got the same result as before, like when I didn't copy the httpdisk.sys file to system32\drivers folder :(


the system cannot find the path specified

I think you will get this message if the driver is not started, because httpdisk.exe tries to access an "object" in the "object namespace" called \Device\HttpDisk\HttpCd0, given the command you used.

 

If you can incorporate sc.exe into the .wim, then you can use it to sc query httpdisk and to sc qc httpdisk.

Looks like you've done everything right except the registry path. I think it should have been ControlSet001 instead. Also I can't see imagepath line pointing to httpdisk.sys Without it there's no way to start service. We might need to add missing entries to reg file. Let me come back to you


Ok Andrius...I'll try with ControlSet001 but....what do you mean with the imagepath line?

Could you tell me how and where can I point to the httpdisk.sys driver?

Do I have to add than line in the httpdisk.reg file?

Thanks.

looks like reg file provided with httpdisk is not complete. Look at other services in registry. Each will have entry called imagePath and will point to driver file ie system32\DRIVERS\httpdisk.sys . You'll need to add it manually on loaded PE registry hive.

If there is no ImagePath entry, Windows defaults to using system32\DRIVERS\servicename.sys, so the entry isn't needed, if the file is there.

Yep...you're right Sha0...No entry httpdisk.sys on the registry but theres is one called LEGACY_HTTPDISK under HKLM/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Enum/Root


Should I add that entry?

Sha0...I don't undertand you...you're an expert and I'm a newbie...could please tell me how can I fix this problem in a dummy way?

Is ther any possibility or should I use sc.exe option?

Many thanks.

ok load PE system hive under "PE" name and apply reg file with the following contents

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\pe\ControlSet001\services\HttpDisk]
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"Start"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000001
"imagePath"=hex(2):73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,44,00,\
  52,00,49,00,56,00,45,00,52,00,53,00,5c,00,68,00,74,00,74,00,70,00,64,00,69,\
  00,73,00,6b,00,2e,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,00,00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\pe\ControlSet001\services\HttpDisk\Parameters]
"NumberOfDevices"=dword:00000004

 

as Sha0 pointed out imagePath may not be necessary. This will look for system32\drivers\httpdisk.sys so ensure it's there in your wim.

 

once booted in PE you can verify if service started by command "net stop httpdisk"  and then by starting  "net start httpdisk". If you don't get any errors it should work. I just done this on my test PE and I successfully mapped drive and was able to dir and cd in your w7.iso file. Hope this will do the trick for you. Good luck.

Dear Andrius...

There is no need to make such modification to registry...Why???....

Because IT WORKS!!! :D

I did the modification you told me (ControlSet001) and I deleted the forward 80 port in the second router (Client router) and it worked like a charm!

Now I only have to make an sript to load Setup.exe after booting Windows 7 Pe and make the correct modifications to the Unattended answer file to make my own Windows Automated Installations over http.

Many thanks to all my partners from reboot.pro...

I love Sha0, Andrius, Dark, Steve and all of you!!!

Best regards...;)

I'm glad you got there in the end. The reg file contents I posted above is httpdisk.reg modified to directly load into PE registry hive to avoid manual typing. It also contains the imagePath entry which is not required as turned out. But it does work so maybe someone else will find it convenient.
