PhoenixPE is a WinPE Rescue/Recovery Environment based on Win10/Win11. It can be booted via USB, CD/DVD, PXE/Network, or hard disk.

• PhoenixPE uses the "next-generation" PEBakery engine resulting in faster build times and advanced features compared to legacy Winbuilder projects.
• Build from Win10/Win11 sources using either boot.wim or WinRE.wim as a base.
• Designed from the ground up to be developer/contributor friendly and use clean, well documented code.
• Easy to understand options and uncluttered user interface.
• Flexible and fully customizable.

Nice looking project/work. The project contains a nice selection of applications. 
 
I'm currently downloading the recommended Windows 10 2004 (10.0.19041) iso to test. My initial test with Windows 11 22H2 failed to boot to the desktop (en-us_windows_11_consumer_editions_updated_nov_2021_x64_dvd_4222adf1.iso).
 
I will feed back after downloading the recommended iso and testing.

Tested PhoenixPE using the recommended Windows 10 2004 source files. The build process was smooth. The resulting PE works well and it's nice to see a fully functioning Windows Explorer shell. Great work - thanks.

I've not had a look at the code in the project scripts, but did note that taking ownership of the registry hives is a time consuming process. I experimented a few years ago with mounting > exporting > unmounting and then loading a blank hive and importing to it the registry settings exported in the previous step as a means of bypassing registry restrictions. The process is documented in more detail in the following webpage -

I do remember reading that document a few years ago. the first round of Phoenix circa 2014-2015 actually did use this method, but as I recall there were some issues that cropped up with certain registry keys needing special ACL's. ideally I suppose would be to just take ownership of the keys needed, but then you still have to balance the support factor, as your going to get lots of complaints from users that don't understand, and then there's M$ changing things on a whim as well.

Whats the difference  between the rt and X86 files?

Took a while to download ISO, extract it to the source folder and process( build) the project PhoenixPE iso.

Overall all went smooth and finished the build. Booted fine.

Whats the difference  between the rt and X86 files?

 

functionally, they are identical.

 

the rt download requires that you have the Microsoft .NET 6 Runtime installed on your host. This makes for a smaller project download, but might frustrate novice users who have to figure out how to download/install it. (.NET 6 is relativly new and isn't widely installed or shipped with Windows yet.)

 

the x64 download has the .NET 6 runtime packaged/included, so you don't have to worry about downloading/installing any runtimes.The result is easier for a general user as "it just works". The downside is a slightly larger download and no x86 or ARM support.

[TheHive]

Tested the x64 download. PhoenixPE-2023.01.30-x64

Had to move the PhoenixPE to C drive for things to work.

originally had the folder in

C:\Users\Hello\Downloads\- Winbuilder\PhoenixPE 2023-01-30

It will complain about location. Based on not liking the dashes on location. Misty fixed that on his Projects.

 

Does the rt have support for x86 and/or ARM support?

[homes32]

Does the rt have support for x86 and/or ARM support?

it does. Keep in mind .NET6 is a requirement of PEBakery, not PhoenixPE, so while PEBakery can run on x86/x64/ARM, PhoenixPE will only build x86/x64 sources, it does not have full support for ARM sources at this time.

Ok!
