I just redownloaded the old one from the LiveXP project and tested.
At bootup the CPU is 100. Same with the new Qemu.
But with the old one I can get out of qemu to real PC faster. And once on the desktop it uses less CPU.
WIth the New Qemu CPU seems to remain at 100. At this time I preffer the old one.
Maybe when the new qemu is developed more and Vista is supported we can upgrade to it. Or we can have a seperate Download for Others to test. That way we can get which one others prefer.


Thanks for your test :P
I'll change the description of nativeEX-barbone download that this can be done for a test, but the old qEmu should be standard.

In startup there is a (working) shortcut to <path>\welcome.htm.
Because ob1 is registered to *.htm it starts with welcome.htm as argument.
The reason why there is an uncomplete shortcut shown, should be answered by Bill G.

Peter

The Shortcut looks like there were no quotes around the Path, so it got cut at the first space.

:P

CreateISO.script in nativeEx is not working if choosing Run Windows from RAM - something wrong with ISO name (too many variables :P If replaced from LiveXP project the script works fine.

And different versions of scripts are also a bit confusing: I can understand that PENetwork.script v010 is in nativeEX - it can be considered a beta-version (LiveXP has v006), but why OffByOne.script in nativeEX is only v2 and there is a new v3 in LiveXP project? :P

With all the latest updates except qemu. When booted up Qemu does not see a Network Card.

The Winservices is still none English.

The Explorer Script by default has been set to not create any shortcuts for Explorer. Can you make it create shortcut to QuickLaunch by default. windows Picture and Fax Viewer is also disabled.

Thanks, I updated. Both CreateISO scripts are now identical and got the version number 014.

And different versions of scripts are also a bit confusing: I can understand that PENetwork.script v010 is in nativeEX - it can be considered a beta-version (LiveXP has v006), but why OffByOne.script in nativeEX is only v2 and there is a new v3 in LiveXP project?

nativeEx_barebone is not thought to be a stand alone project.
I built it in order to offer a 'click and run' project for tests of new scripts.
Therefore due to functionality I watch to have always the latest version of scripts.
Apps just have to function. The test project does not need always the latest apps' functionality.

I did a fresh download of all:
  • Start WinBuilder in an empty folder.
  • Download All from LiveXP server
  • Download nativeEx (no Tools) from nativeEx Server.
  • Changed source path
Run >> qEmu has network.

The Winservices is still none English.

Sorry, my fault. Now you have English!

The Explorer Script by default has been set to not create any shortcuts for Explorer. Can you make it create shortcut to QuickLaunch by default. windows Picture and Fax Viewer is also disabled.

Has QL now.
I do not want to default install Picture and Fax Viewer in 'one click' .

Since i updated today, the natieEX project isn't working anymore.
RAMDisk.script stops with a 'can not write to taget' error.
When i look inside the system32 folder, i can not find the drivers folder. I also can not create the drivers folder, since there is already a file called drivers present! :P

Does anyone else have this problem?

I know this issue (it is not only nativeEX, I know it from old 'Standard' time).
Sporadically it occurs.
I do not know a reason why it occurs.
But the good news:
Delete %target% manually and everything works fine.

I deleted Target and Temp and and Prebuild already several times, no change. The only thing i haven't done yet, is delete the project and redownload it.

No, please do not delete the project!

Maybe that is our only chance to catch that issue.
You have a project, where the issue seems to appear regularly. That is very very pretious!

Please put the complete WinBuilder folder into a zip and post or PM me.

A big chance lost!
Using MedEvil's code, I could not reprocuce the issue on my system.

Maybe next time ...

Ummm...

The ' out of order execution ' thing I mentioned in another post.

The trouble you are experiencing.......Been there...done that.

It is really not the 'out of order' issue.

What happens here:

Propably in MakeDirs the directories
  • %TargetDir%
  • %TargetDir%\I386
  • %TargetDir%\I386\system32
are created correctly, but (I do not know any reason) %TargetDir%\I386\system32\drivers is not created.

Now the first FileCopy or Expand with target %TargetDir%\I386\system32\drivers copies into the file %TargetDir%\I386\system32\drivers.
All the next FileCopy/Expand commands overwrite this file.

In the RamDrive script there is an ExtractFile command which wants to extract into the directory %TargetDir%\I386\system32\drivers. That, of course is not possible.

The question is (see above):

are created correctly, but (I do not know any reason) %TargetDir%\I386\system32\drivers is not created.

Please tell us more.

Peter

EDIT: Maybe it is not an issue of DirMake, but an issue of DirDelete:
%TargetDir%\I386\system32\drivers is deleted, but
%TargetDir%\I386\system32 and above not.

That will bring the same result.

Okay.

I see what you mean.

I posted because the exact same symptoms MedEvil mentioned I came across...and for me...it was the issue I posted about.

I have tried NativeEx builds, and they have gone to completion and then on to sucessful boots...without problems, 'though I generally use the LiveXP packages.

Curious.

%TargetDir%\I386\system32\drivers is deleted :P Why? When?
Extract to non existent folders creates an error, so there should have been nothing created. Only a command which isn't 'seeing' that it is doing something wrong, can create nonsense like that. imo

:P

That deletes the whole contents of the target folder, not just the drivers folder.
And can therefore not be responsible.
We're looking for something that happens to the drivers folder, but not to the rest, as source of the problem.

Theretically you are right. But there is an unknown mechanism sometimes presenting some dirs but not the drivers dir.

The Welcome shortcut seems to be truncating at the space in "Program Files". Haven't had time to investigate the reason..

Edited:

I tested a modification to the Welcome Script and it worked.

In most programming launguages to display a quote charracter " you have to use double quotes ""

so i changed
//execute in autostart

 Run,%BuildModelScript%,Add-Shortcut,&#34;AU&#34;,&#34;#$q%PEDrive%/%WorkDir%/OffByOne/Welcome.htm#$q&#34;,&#34;~Welcome&#34;
to 
//execute in autostart

 Run,%BuildModelScript%,Add-Shortcut,&#34;AU&#34;,&#34;#$q#$q%PEDrive%/%WorkDir%/OffByOne/Welcome.htm#$q#$q&#34;,&#34;~Welcome&#34;
