What am i doing wrong that's making u guys so angry?

and by the way guys what about my previous query about "character set problem" is it bug?

peter, as u suggested i downloaded NativeEx_barebone_077_RC2', nativeEx_core_077_RC2' and 'Tools', when i run the project with the default options every thing works great but when i select all the options and try to run it, the following error is thrown :

  Errors:

but when i checked i checked NativeEx_barebone>Basic>Shells>Explorer the option Don't set Explorer as shell' in Explorer.Script" is already unchecked. what should i do next?

so i restarted WB this time when i tried to execute the script i got:

FileRename - Failed to rename file: [%BaseDir%\Target\nativeEx_barebone\I386\WinSxS\manifests\CONTROLS.CAT] to:[%BaseDir%\Target\nativeEx_barebone\I386\WinSxS\manifests\x86_Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.0.0_x-ww_1382d70a.CAT]

@olegpov
ps: thanks for "16 characters long" info

Tomorrow I'm going to make nativeEx 99% quote-free (some quotes, e.g. in ShellExecute parameters or Echo, Message with spaces inside, are syntay demanded!)

thanks PSC, i will check it out and update soon. thanks

can i use manually slipstreamed version?

• Use original source CD
• Whatever you want to change, do by script, not by changing the CD

i have provided the build log, do you require some other log ,

dear psc, the problem dose not seem to be with "Chinese Support script" at least in my case, even though i am not sure because as i already told you i am doing "hit and run" most of the time , i am assuming this because i don't understand Chinese. But anyhow while testing today i enabled "0804 Support" script which produced the same problem once again, well i might be wrong as i am facing some unique problems lately.

thanks for ur support

i am sorry i made you feel that way, well its my mistake that i didn't reply properly and i am sorry for that this is what i did...



i tried it twice but each time it resulted in producing an 67mb even though i had selected all most all application when i tried booting it, it displays the boot screen and then it would show as lsass.exe Application error stating "the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142)..." and then it reboot.
the fact that its was producing a 67mb iso was my reason to believe that there was some problem with my local LiveXP installation, as tried again and again cleaning the temporary file and checking all the options in the WB wizard but the result was the same.



i am still in the process of downloading the files for the project NativeEx, so till it completes i tried using the backup copy of live xp and it worked except that it is producing errors as mentioned previously. once the download is complete i will provide u with the results. and plz try to understand i didn't meant any disrespect its just that i am anxious to have an full working copy of live xp. and i am sorry for it...

i hope u understand

... after a exec command

No, I can't reproduce with example
The variable lost is %API_TYPE%
I have add a warn each time this variable is reset now in Common_Api (redownload it for test)
Variable is lost first time during MMc.script
and a last time just before HWPnP.script

You can test by running the single script MMC

I dont like these log lines:

RegWrite - root key: [HKLM] Type: [0x1] A file was not chosen from: [WB-Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSInfo\Categories]

Hi, i can reproduce now. Reported in bug tracker: bug id #199.
Thank you

so i should disable the script? will it fix the problem? (or part of it)

secondly how do i add a registry key to acronis disk director 10?

after WinBuilder completed successful, i tried the ISO and the UFD (created using PeToUSB.exe) on VirtualBox both of them are having similar problems, Live XP starts loading saying "Stating Windows PE", after the progress bar is completed it gets stuck saying "Please Wait...", i don't see any activity on the disk (Virtual CD as well as UFD) well.

hi lancelot and all,

i tried the build on my friends DELL laptop with WinXP with Sp2 (32-bit), i am getting stuck at "HoJoPE Hives Factory" i am getting the following error:


i did a search and found that the PSC in the post what usually causes these types of build errors, trouble with livexp build suggested to clear the Reghive. So, i did a manual search and but found nothing. Also i found that in WB there is an option to clear the Reghive i used it, cleared temp files and restarted WB, but i am still receiving the same error. the version of my "HoJoPE Hives Factory" is v.63. what should i do?

--EDIT--
Sorry, here is the log "hxxp://depositfiles.com/files/3efy6ao9m"

Hi all,
i cannot run iso in emulators (Finish\3 Emulation) because of empty %burnISO% variable.
in CreateIso.script corresponding IniWrite is uncommented.

try 450

Seems to me it is the known issue (informed by you before) about space calculation with vista ntfs6, you know we dont have a precaution on bootsdi yet for ntfs6 which results size calculations mismatch on vista's ntfs6.

Well, you know my english is not very good, I tried, Better JonF or others explains things which I may have diffuculty to explain.

I was just asking if this was the intended Syntax or not (i.e. a "by design" feature).

As an outsider, and complete n00b, can I ask a question?

• To separate arguments in Winbuilder .script Syntax the "comma" symbol "," is used.
• Thus you cannot include the "comma" symbol ANYWHERE else, not even in double quoted strings, and you need to use a replacement "#$c".

Is the above correct?

Wonko

Thanks for reporting, I hadn't gotten around to testing if the issue was still there.

Peter will have to tell us whether it is a bug with '1 - ProjectInfo.Script' or if the problem lies elsewhere.

Regards,
Galapo.

sorry,

forget to mention the details

i tried only on Vista x86 host

using the script there is no problem
as it doesn't stop the sevice

when once i stop the service - on Vista host- then
i am unable to start the sevice again in the same boot session

i really don't want to join to yours personal World War

just want to notice:
on Vista host i have problem not only with vdk or vdk_WB

so my experience is that:
when once i stop the service - on Vista host- then
i am unable to start the sevice again in the same boot session

Hi wimb,

copying vdk to a new location was found as a solution for vistasp1 , and "dont use vdk remove" was found as a solution for some other utilities (ghost14) causing vdk fail.

we will have imdisk selected default on bootsdi hoping it will fix vdk problems, coming soon

does not mount vdi image if you select both vdi and vmdk image to mount.

the problem begins only in that case when you also open an NTFS formatted image

It's fine to delete the ISOs that LiveXP created in ISODir. It's not OK to delete files that LiveXP did not create.

Maybe we could have a new 'Enable' option which does the opposite of 'Disable', ie it enables listed (default) script dependencies? This would be one way that we could more consistently make sure the end user has necessary scripts selected. (Trouble is, sometimes it's not just a script itself which needs to be selected, but also an interface option, so not sure how far we should go with this.)

there were 0 files in it .

and yes thats what i did . i cleaned temp files and then tried super floppy option .

edit :

isn't the following supposed to be the right selection for using bootsdi with 2k3 files >?

...
it is telling me this ,



and i have seen in help but...

it has exactly the same scripts as in my last post . only selected 2k3 instead of firadisk

@psc
thanks gain, new flag of livexp is BOOTFLAG

JonF, never seen this error in WB076, but 2-3 times using 077 betas.
( i dont know how to reproduce)

not sure about the meaning of filled out

fxscrpt

new mmc on server

I dont know the reason, but my tests shows issue solved after updating "5 - CopyAndExpand.Script" to v22 , currently available on livexp server.

I am only a mini helper around for LiveXP and aware that definately not qualified to manage a project (especially LiveXP).
I try to do things as far as i know and still learning.

So that seems not to be only a question for Holger, but also a question for the 'project management'?

BTW: Maybe it is now time to again think about my topic 'LiveXP - Factory settings'. It is really not the best idea to include 'Everything selected'

On the other hand, we catch network bugy with that

• Put a couple of unneeded scripts into a project:
  A certain script fails
• Remove the unneeded scripts:
  The previously not running script now runs
• Tell the world: Introducing the bug gave me the possibility to fix it!
  Everything is running now, and nobody knows why!

• VirtNet Network Adapter.script
• VMWareNIC.script
  (VirtualBoxNIC_AMD_PCNET.script delivers a VMWare Ethernet Driver, look at the description)

wrong, v13 is on livexp server, and i wish you dont change the icon of earlystarter

Any progress with AppData key ?!

Now there is the same configuration like in (the allways 3-emulators ready) nativeEx_barebone.

a question for the nativeex barabone 'project management'?

(red added by me)

in virtualbox v.2.1.4 i see 2 network adapters.
'virtnet network adapter' > ok
'vmware accelerated amd pcnet adapter' > exclamation mark

if you remove 'vmware accelerated amd pcnet adapter'
and start hwpnp 'vmware accelerated amd pcnet adapter' will be redetected (exclamation mark)

if you remove both in device manager, then rescan using device manager,
then start Penetwork you will get 'amd pcnet family adapter' (driver is pcntpci5.sys)
>Network is ok.

wb077b1 --> can not finish bootsdi
wb076 --> no problem

ShellExecute,Hide,"cmd.exe","/c #$q#$q%VdkExe%#$q open * #$q%RAMFolder%\i386\%BootSDIname%#$q /rw /p:0 >> #$q%VdkLog%#$q#$q"

why warning with

wait,2

?

Maybe you can confirm that new script works for nativeEx.

i understand the warnings and fixes are on the way now (currently i havent check fully with wb077b1)

but with a quick test using wb076, network working nicely with virtualbox, i guess no problem you testing with 076 too.

Is "70#$c" , should be "70#,"

Bad news if WB077b1 files are significantly different.

Testing with enu is much easier for me

This is Houston. Say again please.

There should be a "defination of warning by Peter" around somewhere..........

Whatever Peter's defination is, WARNINGS disturbs most people, ESpecially a new user.
Probably casual user will have a mixed mind when he see warnings at log !
...
For a user who is adding his apps, scripts to projects, no way to hide from copy overwrite warnings
...
@Peter psc
Therefore I suggest to select "Warning on Copy OverWrite" False as a Winbuilder.exe default ??????? on next RC or stable (or an early RC maybe very nice too)

If,Not,EXISTFILE,blabla,CopyFile,blabla, ...

fixed - Bug in RegWrite with comma in value

hmm using both new scripts still not copying swmidi.sys

IniRead,%ProjectInfo%,OS,ServicePack,%SP%

There comes no error message and not even a warning that this file could not be copied.

Hi,

Somtimes things already done.
Copy [FixShellFolders] from 1-Regfactory.script
Only one 'hardcoded' directory
for 'all users' : common documents
(English: Documents / German : Gemeinsame Dokumente).

Currently there is no string for common documents
in %ProjectInfo%. For now use
Set,%DirCommonDocuments%,"Documents" at first line to
assign different value.

Peter

This is i guess mostly about hojope+wb and 'author' of both wb and hojope is Peter ... I am sure you will find much quickly than me what is going on with being the author of both....

But I found in HoJoPE that an non existing Reg_Multi_sz is just not written, rather writing an empty key.
For full 076 compatibility I'll write the empty kex.

wb077RC1 - Is it a bug, or a new feature ?

when hex(7) values are 00 00 00 the value is not written on the reg

There are missing with compare to wb076 ? maybe this is a new feature !!!! I hope you clear that !!

From not answering mmc question, i assume i will write mmc v30 for livexp, coming soon, need a break

Well I think some (0 bytes) empty folders would not make it bigger, but solve strange errors of some applications.
Also an explorer shell PE should have it's special explorer folders

But it's of course your decision

PE resets any preconfigured value for ImagePath to 'partmgr.sys'

Peter psc

just reminding the old man,
at wb77beta2, also please dont forget wait, warnings i got

I know Explorer deletes some Shell Folders values, if
corresponding Folders are not present!
Add these folders to modelram!

yes peter, i saw it before and also remembering old false positive with wget
...
and a norman user (with being in %15) will not be able to use slock.exe as it will be moved to quarantine and probably causing winbuilder give warning.

• tell his local antivir progarm 'Here you are wrong'
• tell the antivir developer about wrong positive

Thanks guys.

Another thing I have to remember to re-set after downloading! It takes two or three builds after a download to get everything working again. (WBManager doesn't help because of the way I work).

I really don't like the fact that a download overrides local settings. I suppose it's so deeply buried in the paradigm that there's nothing that can be done.

PS: A 64Bit version of WB would solve the problem without the need to depend on a glitch.
