Script File and Icon

bootdiskSDK

Wed, 09 May 2012 14:26:20 +0000

Since I am often testing over and over again Windows PE images, I needed a quick and automated way to rebuild ISO images and test them on the virtual machine. So, I am just sharing some of the tools that I use for myself in the hope they can help others too.

If you are using mkisofs and qemu from command line, you might find yourself in troubles to create a Windows PE ISO image by hand. This SDK is a simple script that you can learn or modify for your own purposes and is targeted for Windows PE 2, 3 and above.

What does it do?

Creates a new ISO image from an existent Windows PE using mkisofs (included)
Run the newly created ISO inside the QEMU virtual machine (included)

How to use?
To use this SDK, just place your Windows PE files inside the "winpe" folder and then click on "run.bat" file.

Modifying
If you wish, you can adjust the settings just by editing run.bat to your desire. By default, QEMU will run with 1Gb of allocated RAM memory for the virtual machine. If you think this is too much for your case, you should edit run.bat to use a lower value.

Future
More features will be added on the feature. I have developed this SDK for my own use and might be adding more features if requested by other developers/users.

Take care!

MaxResolution

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:08:47 +0000

It is a little component to manage display resolution automaticaly.
If you build your Win7PE only for one PC this component is not necessarily needed, the display resolution can be fix.
But build Win7PE for many different PC's with different displays and graphic cards, this component help to find the maximal supported resolution automatically. Usually this is also the native resolution.

Features:

- if run at startup, automatical search maximal supported resoution

- optional show message to break the switch-process

- detect if PE is running as virtual machine and skipped the switching-process

- as an alternative can be set for virtual machines a maximum resolution

- not recommended for CRT-Monitors

Requirements:

- none

-It is recommended to enable the message if the maximum resolution is not supported by the monitor. So you can test the resolution and skip the process if you not shure.

It is test with Win7PE_SE, but it sure works well for other projects.
Place the script in Tweaks

localDriver

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 16:34:03 +0000

LocalDriver is a tool which grabs the NIC driver from the user's PC and generates a WinBuilder script which can be added to WinBuilder projects.
During build installs that script the grabbed driver into the PE.

The advantage compared with DriverPacks: When you only have some systems where you want to use the built PE, this method needs much less PE space and much less build and boot time.

The advantage compared with hostDriver / hostNIC: You do not need RAM boot to have a writable running PE.

The .zip contains also the latest version of reg2WBSprg.exe which is needed by localDriver.exe.

Currently localDriver works with NIC drivers. Audio drivers are in test and do not yet work well.

When somebody has a driver which does not run on your PE:

Try with the XP track of multiPE
If the issue still exists, post your *.inf.

botchedcodeconverter.zip

This tool was created by Wonko the Sane and helps to fix the code on forum posts that is now garbled after a forum upgrade.

Quoting his words:

Quote

Since the board update a number of items inside CODE and CODEBOX tags have become corrupted or however are parsed incorrectly by the Board software.

As a handy tool, and as a personal sign of my total and utter disagreement with:

the IPB board developers
the way the update of the board has been implemented

please find here a small online javascript converter that may be of use until everything (maybe) will be fixed:

LiveXP 2012

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:46:18 +0000

This project is a rebirth of the classic LiveXP project.

The classic LiveXP projects runs only on WinBuilder versions 77 RC 2 and 80 Rev 3.

The adapted project runs also on WinBuilder versions 82 and later.

One of the advantages of LiveXP 2012 is the build speed. The build under 82 needs only 40% of the time of the 080 build.
