Hi,
I'm very interesting in VistaPE (thank you, NightMan!) and in (the best possible) partition's Backup Image file creation (@ low level & not compressed).
"Norton Ghost 8.0" is a great app, but in my experience under Vista doesn't work as fine as under XP: in fact after PerfectDisk defragmentation (and free space consolidation) I created Ghost image file, but after restoring it then the disk analysis shown the disk free space not consolidate anymore.
Now I get Terabyte Image for Windows 1.70a (its plugin under BartPE > Flash Drive) and it works so very fine (the best that I've never tried).
Image for Windows under VistaPE would be the TOP (imho) , but I am not still able to create a plugin or to add this program into VistaPE…
Every comment will be a lot appreciated.

online,



I assume you have installed "Image for Windows" on your WinBuilder machine.

Download IFW Plugin from Terabyte http://www.terabyteu.../ifw_plugin.zip, and extract files. Go to extracted ifw.inf file and open with editor (Notepad). Remove semi-colons from ";autorun_ifw.cmd=2,,4" and ";0x4, "TeraByte Unlimited\Image", "Settings", "0x001e0007".

In WinBuilder, click Tools, click Convert tab, select "Type of File" => BartPE Plugin (*.inf), select "Add Files.." and navigate to your extracted ifw.inf and open, click Convert. You should end up with:

[s]I386[/s]Windows\system32"FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\cdboot.f35","%TargetDir%\Programs\ifw"FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\imagew.exe","%TargetDir%\Programs\ifw"FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\imagew.key","%TargetDir%\Programs\ifw"Echo,"Loading registry hive _linenums:0'>Echo,"Making new directories.."DirMake,%TargetDir%\Programs\ifwEcho,"Copying files.."FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\autorun_ifw.cmd","%TargetDir%\[s]I386[/s]Windows\system32"FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\cdboot.f35","%TargetDir%\Programs\ifw"FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\imagew.exe","%TargetDir%\Programs\ifw"FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\imagew.key","%TargetDir%\Programs\ifw"Echo,"Loading registry hive: [%TargetDir%\[s]I386[/s]Windows\System32\Config\software]"RegHiveLoad,Tmp_software,%TargetDir%\[s]I386[/s]Windows\System32\Config\softwareEcho,"Writing new values on registry hive.."RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,"Tmp_software\TeraByte Unlimited\Image","Settings","[s]1966087[/s]"RegHiveUnLoad,Tmp_software

Edit where indicated. Read the extracted ifw.htm in the downloaded folder for instructions to edit the Registry Settings. Note that "1966087" is an example only. I'm afraid I don't know if this should be the hex value or the decimal value. Winbuilder "Convert" has change it from hex in the BartPE Plugin to decimal in the Script. Also see the ifw.htm for instructions about your licence key.In WinBuilder's Script Panel, Select All and Copy. (Right-Clicking, or <ctrl>+a and <ctrl>+c) Make sure to Copy because moving away from this screen will lose the work.In WinBuilder, click "Create Script.." tab. In the Script Template, under "[process]..... unpack", Paste (No Right-Clicking?! Use <ctrl>+v).In the Left Panel, click "Add files.." tab, click "+", locate and add each of the files: autorun_ifw.cmd, cdboot.f35, imagew.exe and imagew.key.Edit the "my" values in the Template, and delete everything above the "[main]" section. The script might look like this:

[main]Title=IFWDescription=IFW will be added on the projectSelected=TrueLevel=5Version=1[variables]%ProgramTitle%=IFW%ProgramEXE%=imagew.exe%ProgramFolder%=Terabyte[process]Add_Shortcut,DesktopAdd_Shortcut,StartMenu,TerabyteunpackEcho,"Making new directories.."DirMake,%TargetDir%\Programs\ifwEcho,"Copying files.."FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\autorun_ifw.cmd","%TargetDir%\Windows\system32"FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\cdboot.f35","%TargetDir%\Programs\ifw"FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\imagew.exe","%TargetDir%\Programs\ifw"FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\imagew.key","%TargetDir%\Programs\ifw"Echo,"Loading registry hive: [%TargetDir%\Windows\System32\Config\software]"RegHiveLoad,Tmp_software,%TargetDir%\Windows\System32\Config\softwareEcho,"Writing new values on registry hive.."RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,"Tmp_software\TeraByte Unlimited\Image","Settings","[s]1966087[/s] (edit this)"RegHiveUnLoad,Tmp_software......

The script looks OK. Save to App folder and test.

I haven't tested because I don't use IFW. And I'm only learning!

Good luck.

Seems you're a quick learner!

I do a test and I have the same Error Messages then I mention above !!!

Hi YahooUK,

I think that it miss something !!! Yet, my Program seems to be work, because I can made a backup.

Yes, it works!
Using "WinBuilder 069-beta2" and following your instructions I've created (and modified) this "ifw.script":

[main]

Description=IFW will be added on the project

Level=5

Version=1



[variables]

%ProgramTitle%=IFW

%ProgramEXE%=imagew.exe

DirMake,%TargetDir%\Programs\IFW



Echo,"Copying files.."

FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\autorun_ifw.cmd","%TargetDir%\Windows\System32"

FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\cdboot.f35","%TargetDir%\Programs\IFW"

FileCopy,"%ScriptDir%\imagew.exe","%TargetDir%\Programs\IFW"

Echo,"Writing new values on registry hive.."

RegHiveUnLoad,Tmp_software

then I've created "IFW" folder in "C:\...\Projects\VistaPE\App\" and I've copied "ifw.script", "autorun_ifw.cmd", "cdboot.f35", "imagew.exe" and "imagew.key". ["In the Left Panel, click "Add files.." tab, click "+", locate and add each of the files: autorun_ifw.cmd, cdboot.f35, imagew.exe and imagew.key." > doesn't work.]
I've inserted Vista Installation DVD and downloaded VistaPE files, then I've created and burned ISO file.
Image for Windows doesn't appear in Programs menu, but it runs like a charme browsing and executing through LiteStep and A43 FM.
If Explorer Vista runs then the machine doesn' restart and doesn't shutdown.
I don't know how to set IFW Autorun (like it works under BartPE), but I'm very satisfied... for now!
allanf, Nuno Brito, NightMan: thank you very much!!!
Thanks a lot to all.

Using "WinBuilder 069-beta2"...

@online,

For "unpack" and "shortcuts" features, try:
WinBuilder072 Download: http://www.boot-land...amp;showfile=53

For "autorun" feature, try:
VistaPE-BETA 009 (In WinBuilder072, click "Download" tab, and "Add new web server" => http://vistape.boot-land.net/beta/)

(run hwpnp.exe in normal window without parameters and wait when program will be finished)

|s| - separator

more information will be soon

Try:

If you are happy with your Script, Upload to the Downloads section. This will automatically start a new topic with your comments. (... so as not to upset yahooUK too much. ).

Good to see you got it working.

For "unpack" and "shortcuts" features, try: WinBuilder072

[edited >] I'm trying it and it works (only if I download files from VistaPE-beta Server)... then a "dll not found" error for LiteStep appears...

I apologize if this was an annoyance...

Hello Yahoouk,

Can you sent to me your Full Plugin of "DriveImageXML", i.e. Script and All the Files and Directories.
I want to do a try !!! perhaps, there is a mistake for me !!!

Thanks for your Help !!!

This morning, I do a try under "VistaPE" and I has this messages

Hi Haiphong,

I see your screenshots under VistaPE and I have a great curiosity: how have you captured them? Running ISO file under a Virtual Machine or @ low level running VistaPE CD-ROM?
In the first case: how does DriveImageXML to see your partitions?
In the second case: how to capture that perfect screenshot under VistaPE CD-ROM?
If I run Image for Windows ISO file under a Virtual Machine, then the program doesn't see other than this...

Hello Online,

Under "VistaPE" after "Boot" Cd or USB 2.0 Key and after to launch "DriveImageXML"!!!

Thanks !!!

Normal way to capture a screen is run an image editing program like mspaint then use the <Print Screen> key on your keyboard to capture the current screen to the clipboard. Then paste the clipboard into mspaint, edit the image as appropriate and save the file. That all works on PE.


Vista has a built in snippingtool.exe to allow easy capture and editing of the current screen. Don't know if this is available in VistaPE yet.

Thanks for your quick reply.
Ok, then I explain to me that the program see all partitions... but how capture you a screenshot under VistaPE (CD-ROM booting)?
Explain to me, please.

Sure, this is needed under Windows.
paraglider,
I asked to understand about the situation: Windows or low level. Then about the manner to do it under VistaPE (CD-ROM boot, not ISO image under VM).
The advantage of the VMware Workstation integrated capture function consists in the fact that the result picture doesn't need to edit and that it show just the interested screen area, not like Print key (the whole screen captured) or Alt+Print key (only explorer window captured).
I converted bitmap to PNG file for web use (smaller file)...
Under VistaPE (CD-ROM booting, not ISO image running under Virtual Machine) which is the way for capture screenshots?
Many thanks.

That all works on PE.

Sure?

Hello Online,

I use for Capture on "VistaPE", either "Portable Snagit 8.02" or "Portable FastStone Capture 5.5". The 2 Programs is well, but "Portable Snagit 8.02" is better, if you want to do some modifications with your Capture !!!

Thanks !!!

Hello Online,

You can see some "Portable Program" compatible with "VistaPE" and handled by the excellent Launcher "PStart" at this thread : http://www.boot-land...?...5&hl=Pstart

Good Luck !!!
