[Virtual-R]

I am trying the suggestion that Dera gave at the moment, and will soon post back the results.

Meanwhile, here is the log (before Deras suggestion) on a non-working plugin:

Dera is absolutely right!

When adding RunFromRam,True under process all of my plugins starts to show up correctly and works in the startmenu!!!

Thank you EVERYBODY that answerd my question.

Hmm, this is a bug, right. ? Wonder if it's possible to fix it somehow.

@Peter

please check preloader of jonf here , maybe it helps (maybe not... you know I do not know pe2/3 stuff well)

The issue can be fixed by adding the ShortcutEx.Script to the build.
It duplicates some nativeEx_barebone shortcut functionality into this project.
The script can be downloaded by WinBuilder's download center.

This script causes during boot time a solution of the environment variables, and a proof / correction of the shortcuts.

I tested with the Win7RescuePE app SumatraPDF, and it works with "Run From RAM" checked AND unchecked.

Two issues:

• I had to debug the script and change
  

  If,%pCheckBox1%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,Desktop
  If,%pCheckBox2%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,StartMenu,%pTextBox1%
  If,%pCheckBox3%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,QuickLaunch

  To
  

  If,%pCheckBox3%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,Desktop
  If,%pCheckBox2%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,StartMenu,%pTextBox1%
  If,%pCheckBox4%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,QuickLaunch

• Generally the PE has no Quicklaunch bar, therefore there nothing can appear. But that is an issue of the Win7RescuePE project.

Another issue (also not by nativeEx_Win7): All Shortcuts have as Tooltip "Joshuas Shortcut Builder"

In the near future I'm going to build the established (XP World) nativeEx shortcut mechanism into this project.

anyone has success with ShortcutEx.Script?
i have no luck neither with shortcuts neither with %cddrive%

I don't know what has been changed but I get an error and can't finalize my build

(Shell & Config) Run - Failed to find section [german] in file: [%BaseDir%\Projects\nativeEx_Win7\locale.script]

I have the file locale.Link in my nativeEx_Win7-dir that points to the file in the Win7RescuePE-dir...

Sorry, one unchanged Variable ...

Download script.project again.

i think '\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx' doesn't work in Win7RescuePE

[Virtual-R]

Dera, for me, ShortCutsEx also did not fix the problem. Still only when adding RunFromRam,True I can get all of the plugins to work correctly.

[pscEx]

i think '\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx' doesn't work in Win7RescuePE

See here:

Applies also to win7

ok, the shortcuts do not work for me neither

[pscEx]

I try to find out why they work for me.

i cannot see 'Win7RescuePE' WinBuilder Project is mentioned at the 'APPLIES TO' section

p.s.
but seriously
i have that feeling somehow the 'RunOnceEx' currently does not work in 7PE or WIN7PE projects (neither in VistaPE)

[pscEx]

I try to find out why they work for me.

Peter

There was another bug in the script where I tested with.

RunfromRAM,%pCheckBox4%

should be

RunfromRAM,%pCheckBox1%

After fixing:
In case of "Run From RAM" unchecked, The shortcut does not work, even with ResShort.Script.

I try to find a solution.

Peter

[pscEx]

Working now!

Please download ShortcutsEx.Script and test.

What is done:
The new program fixShort.exe is started by WinPEShl.ini entry.

• TXTAddLine,%TargetDir%\windows\system32\winpeshl.ini,"fixShort.exe#$c CDDrive:Win7PE.cfg",PLACE,2
  • detects the boot CD drive (maybe also USB) by searching for the key file Win7PE.cfg
  • Inserts the drive letter as %CDDrive% into the environment
  • Edits Win7PE.cfg and replaces %CDDrive% by the drive letter
• TXTAddLine,%TargetDir%\windows\system32\winpeshl.ini,"shortcuts.exe#$c #$q-f #$pSystemDrive#$p\Win7PE.cfg#$q",PLACE,3
  • Builds the shortcuts following Win7PE.cfg

first try: works like a charm. Great work psc!

[Virtual-R]

First try for me: Works with about 90% of all the programs that didn't show up before, GREAT work!

I will investigate why some of my programs still doesnt work, and get back to you. (Those programs also worked before, so either some commands still are not supported, or my plugins are badly written)

Thanks ALOT Peter, GREAT WORK!

[Virtual-R]

Only 2 programs doesn't show up now, they both have the same shortcut-codes.
The lines that are interesting from those scripts are the following:

[codebox] [main] Title=Documentation for Raid Reconstructor Description=Complete manual for Raid Reconstructor Selected=True Level=5 Version=1 [variables] %ProgramTitle%=Raid Reconstructor %ProgramEXE%=RRD.pdf %ProgramFolder%=Documentation\RRD [Process] Unpack run,%ScriptFile%,ShortCuts [ShortCuts] Add_Shortcut,StartMenu,Documentation,"%PE_Programs%\Accessories\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe",,," %PE_Programs%\%ProgramFolder%\%ProgramEXE%" [EncodedFolders] Folder [/codebox] Win7PE.cfg shows: [codebox] Documentation|Raid Reconstructor|%CDDrive%\Programs\Accessories\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe|| %CDDrive%\Programs\Documentation\RRD\RRD.pdf [/codebox]
I can confirm that all the programs are in the right folders too.
Also, they work if I build without nativeex.
Any ideas? Shall I change those lines in any way?

Full Syntax="//Add_Shortcut,Type,StartMenuFolder,(path\)FileName,Title,Work Folder,Parameters,(path\)IconFile#$cIconIndex,StartMode=(1,2,3),ToolTipText(only LiveXP)"

are you sure about the syntax of your 'Add_Shortcut' script line is correct?

and don't use spaces between the Quote mark and the Percentagle mark

[Virtual-R]

My Fault totally! Maybe I missed a " in a line.

Wrong line:

[ShortCuts]
Add_Shortcut,StartMenu,Documentation,"%PE_Programs%\Accessories\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe",,," %PE_Programs%\%ProgramFolder%\%ProgramEXE%"

Correct line:

[ShortCuts]
Add_Shortcut,StartMenu,Documentation,"%PE_Programs%\Accessories\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe",,," "%PE_Programs%\%ProgramFolder%\%ProgramEXE%"

I missed " after %PE_Programs.

Sorry for bothering you!!!

Everything works PERFECT now, thank you everybody!

[pscEx]

I'm not sure.
Now you have 5 quotes, tht is unpaired.

I asssume the bad boy is the space behind quote #3 (see dera's post above).

Peter

[Virtual-R]

The weird thing is, that it works now!

I will now try without the RunFromRam-parameter, and if it does'nt work, I will kill the space

[Virtual-R]

@Peter: You were right and I was wrong. I removed both the extra quote and the space, and now it works comepletly

So, the correct line (and this time I mean it) that works looks like this:

[ShortCuts]
Add_Shortcut,StartMenu,Documentation,"%PE_Programs%\Accessories\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe",,,"%PE_Programs%\%ProgramFolder%\%ProgramEXE%"

You guys are heros! Thanks for all your help! This project really makes building a snap since it takes far shorter time to build with.

[Lancelot]

@Peter

You know I try to write app scripts as compatible as i can, since i notice you did not complain about the quotes at

So, the correct line (and this time I mean it) that works looks like this:

[ShortCuts]
Add_Shortcut,StartMenu,Documentation,"%PE_Programs%\Accessories\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe",,,"%PE_Programs%\%ProgramFolder%\%ProgramEXE%"

Peter, Should'nt it be better not using quotes

Add_Shortcut,StartMenu,Documentation,%PE_Programs%\Accessories\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe,,,%PE_Programs%\%ProgramFolder%\%ProgramEXE%

or is PE2/3 builds needs quotes for shortcut creation ??

[pscEx]

You are right.

BTW: Whenever I change a script and see unnecessary quotes, I remove them.
