Is VistaPE dead?

Is VistaPe abandoned? Didn't see any development in a while
Who's maintaining it right now?

Everyone switched to win7pe as its actively developed. Predictions are that win7 will go RTM towards the end of July so the final version is not very far away. Will have to wait till October for the retail version.

So which one is the best/most usable/least buggy Vistaish PE at the moment?

VistaPE 10

VistaPE 11

VistaPE 12RC1

Win7PE

So which one is the best/most usable/least buggy Vistaish PE at the moment?

Win7PE is still under development, but IT IS under development!

Well roared, lion!

VistaPE 10

VistaPE 11

VistaPE 12RC1

Win7PE

In that list, VistaPE 12 RC1 is the most useful. Win7PE is not yet ready for real-world use. But it's the wave of the future.

Win7PE is still under development, but IT IS under development!

So it has the potential for success or failure, the only thing sure seems to be, that it's not the best right now, else you would have said so!

I didn't ask without reason. VistaPE12RC1 is surely the newest version, but i remember reading from several people that one of the earlier versions, no idea which, had less problems. But that has been some time ago. Meanwhile some work went int VistaPE12 which might or might not tiped the favor in VistaPE12.

Various people have improved the VistaPE 12 RC1 scripts however you have to search the forum to find the fixes.

Since there is no more development of VistaPE.
How if someone would upload a ziped archive of VistaPE12RC1 complete with all available fixes and patches, for our Boot-Land Archive?
I'm sure a few people already have such a VistaPE on their machine.

that is probably a a good idea. with nightman MIA we don't know if the site will be kept up indefinably.

This would be easy to solve.

Open a new forum topic at the VistaPE section that includes a location where to download a good working version.

Then list this new topic at the pinned topic at the VistaPE section so that readers know where to find it.

If necessary, add it to the "FAQ" - http://www.boot-land...?showtopic=8195

About the location, it could be uploaded to the winbuilder.net site - http://winbuilder.ne...load.php?list.5

It would replace the current VistaPE010 project that is listed there.

I could probably do that ... today or tomorrow.

ETA: Or, how about a new project, downloadable through WInBuilder, contianing only updated VistaPE scripts.

@Nuno
What download? There is no download of VistaPE10 available at winbuilder.net.

Really?

This must be somethng else then, mislabeled:
http://winbuilder.ne...load.php?list.5
http://winbuilder.ne...oad.php?view.28

Both options are feasible, the VistaPE version available at winbuilder.net is also in dire need of an update..

Just name this version as "VistaPE reloaded" (example) or something more adequate.

@JonF
I have ask YahooUk for change some variables
So VistaPE should also change
%VistaInfo% ===> Rename to %ProjectInfo% or %PEInfo%
%VPECfg% ===> Rename to %PECfg%
%VPECfgCD% ===> Rename to %PECfgCD%
%VPE_CFG% ===> Rename to %PE_CFG%

Doing this will make api more flexible and ready for more project

You can do it by:

TXTReplace,%BaseDir%\VistaPE-Core\*.*,#$pVistaInfo#$p,#$pProjectInfo#$p

TXTReplace,%BaseDir%\VistaPE-Core\*.*,#$pVPECfg#$p,#$pPECfg#$p

TXTReplace,%BaseDir%\VistaPE-Core\*.*,#$pVPECfgCD#$p,#$pPECfgCD#$p

TXTReplace,%BaseDir%\VistaPE-Core\*.*,#$pVPE_Cfg#$p,#$pPE_Cfg#$p

I do a test and don't get any error
For Win7PE

TXTReplace,%BaseDir%\Win7PE\*.*,#$pWin7Info#$p,#$pProjectInfo#$p

TXTReplace,%BaseDir%\Win7PE\*.*,#$p7PECfg#$p,#$pPECfg#$p

TXTReplace,%BaseDir%\Win7PE\*.*,#$p7PECfgCD#$p,#$pPECfgCD#$p

//TXTReplace,%BaseDir%\Win7PE\*.*,#$p7PE_Cfg#$p,#$pPE_Cfg#$p

Wait a little that YahooUK accepte this new variable name

Thanks
Pedro

@jaclaz
Smartypants, why don't you amuse me and try to actually download?

@pedrole15

Thanks for your wise and acceptable idea.
That's great to be unique all projects under one variable name.
I much appreciate with this and I will change all mine to those.
I think all Project Creators should be informed and acknowledged them.

Thanks & B Regards,

yahooUK

@Pedro: I can do that. WIil I get a log of all files in which the changes were made? Or, I think I could do it in Notepad++.

That's an excellent decision

Just to tell you one of different 'benefits', if you as author decide to want to have it:

If you include ScriptLog.Script from nativeEx_barebone, and add at the end of [process] sections a one word - line

Hi my friends

VistaPE is never die.

Coming soon Leopard beta 1 based on the VistaPE 11 !

 Leopard.7z   391.13KB   706 downloads

Regards

The graphic part is looking cool.

Good new Max_Real_Qnx is always alive
Good work as always Max
I have no too many people to help to create a new VistaPE French (See VistaPE section...)
If i can help you Max for your Leopard Project; it's will be with a big pleasure
It's great if we can add Audio device and network wifi support (With holger Project...) in Leopard project and maybe not the feature of Windows Vista (Internet explorer 8, Sidebar, Photo Gallery is create; we have a problem with windows media player 11... Services...).
If we can have a VistaPE complete it's better; i think...
And if the Api of VistaPE and Win7PE can have the same parameter (Or more with PRESERVE Parameter, i hope in Winbuilder 077RC2) it's a good new !!!

@jaclaz
Smartypants, why don't you amuse me and try to actually download?

It wasn't aimed at you , but rather at the mantainer of winbuilder.net, which "advertised" a non-existant download (i.e. one that redirects to vistape.net).

More explicitly:
@Nuno
The page here:
http://winbuilder.ne...load.php?list.5

has this link:
http://winbuilder.net/request.php?28
http://winbuilder.ne...oad.php?view.28
that resolves to:
http://www.vistape.n...ape010-base.rar

thus, though perfectly accurate:

It would replace the current VistaPE010 project that is listed there.

could have been better said as:

It would replace the current VistaPE010 project that is ONLY listed there, but that is unavailable as a download.
