Winbuild questions

When I select the backup current base to make an archive of the project, where does it put the file?
Thanks for all your help. Winbuild really is a really great program.

Yes it is very easy to add your own programsIs it possible to add my own apps to the project?
When I select the backup current base to make an archive of the project, where does it put the file?
It creates the archive at the root of your drive.
Your ppApps directory should be as follows (where D can be any drive):
D:ppAppsProgramFolderProgram.exe+ppApp.ini
If you still have troubles, please post content of ppApp.ini

The NoRS are strait run portables that launch the same in PE or Windows. I don't like these applications, they don't allow for choosing where to scan. The RS folder contains portables that run via runscanner, if launched from PE, but I doubt this makes any difference in this case.

I think I did what your saying. I made a program folder inside of the the ppApps folder which I called, "adwarecleaner", and it contained the adware.exe file & the ppApp.ini file.
This is the ini fle in my dropbox folder for you to check out.

<Title>
HDClone 4.0 Pro Portable SFX_TR
<Flags>
MakeInRoot = 0
MakeStart = 1
MakeSendTo = 0
MakeDesktop = 1
MakeQuickLaunch = 0
<StartMenuSourcePath>
DriveToolsImaging & Backup
<ppApp>
CommandLine = "hdclone.exe"
ShortcutName = "HDClone 4.0 Pro"
Description = "HDClone lets you make physical and logical 1:1 copies (clones) as well as physical and logical file images of hard disks and partitions."
CommandLine = "hdclone.pdf"
ShortcutName = "HDClone 4.0 Pro Manual"
Description = "HDClone 4.0 Pro Manual"
<End>
<Title> Affects nothing, it's just an internal description of your setup.
<Flags> Determine where to put shortcuts to your exe. 0=No, 1=Yes.
<StartMenuSourcePath> Determines folder location in Start menu. If folders don't exist they'll be added for you.
<ppApp>
CommandLine = "Exact name of executable file, including extension" e.g. "AdwCleaner.exe"
ShortcutName = "Title of shortcut" e.g. "AdwCleaner"
Description = "Description that displays when holding your cursor over the shortcut"
Note: there can be multiple files listed but each must have the three ppApp parameters listed above and all files will be governed by the Flags and StartMenuSourcePath parameters in this ini file.
So, an example of a ppApp.ini for AdwCleaner.exe would look like this:
<Title>
AdwCleaner
<Flags>
MakeInRoot = 0
MakeStart = 1
MakeSendTo = 0
MakeDesktop = 1
MakeQuickLaunch = 0
<StartMenuSourcePath>
Security
<ppApp>
CommandLine = "AdwCleaner.exe"
ShortcutName = "AdwCleaner"
Description = "Reliable removal tool for adware, toolbar and potentially unwanted programs."
<End>

You can test these https://rapidshare.c...714266/Test.rar they all 'work' in LiveXP
The RS folder contains portables that run via runscanner, if launched from PE, but I doubt this makes any difference in this case.
What does that mean, "run via runscanner"? Thanks for the .ini files. I'll try it tomorrow.

Many programs, like CCleaner, SpySweeper, Ad-Aware, HiJackThis, SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot etc. can be re-directed to scan the host PC from PE via runscanner. This can be done via batch e.g.
Runscanner /t 0 /cp /sd /ac /m+ /y program.exe

Read about runscanner here: http://www.paraglide.../runscanner.htm

Thanks for info. I spent a little time looking at the runscanner page and I couldn't understand any of it. I'm not a programmer. I'll keep reading it and maybe I'll be able to figure out some if it. If I understand this right, are you saying that if I want to add my own apps I'll have to modify the .ini myself for that particular app? I just don't think I'll be able to do that because I have no idea what I'm even looking at. How do I modify or edit the ini file? What program do I use? I'm not a programmer.
I have one more question. When someone responds to one of your posts, how do you set the notifications to send you an email. I have the email box checked for Notification method to use for replies to followed topics, but it never sends me an email when someone reponds to my post. How do you have your email notifications set? Thanks.

That is correct. "Follow" is switched on automatically, when you create a new topic or post inside an existing topic.I have one more question.

Do you also define your email url in your profile (Settings > EMail & Password)?
If yes, maybe it is a restriction for new users. There are some other restrictions like "no attachment to posts" until the 100th post.

I just found out why I wasn't getting emails from Reboot pro. Gmail was classifying the mail as spam. Fixed.
Thanks

If I download and install one of the extra Apps packages, does it add to or replace the apps that come with the build?

It's very simple, you don't need to be a programmer. You don't need special tools, just open the ini file in notepad and edit it like you would a txt file.
Look at my example a few posts back, the text highlighted in red is specific to each program. Take a look and I'm sure it will make sense to you. After editing 2 or 3 ini files you'll be a pro

Just open this link, select the ppApp file and select download.

Yes, you're trying to run the full install setup; you need the zip version (extracted). If you need help, I'll set it up for you when I get back.When I tried to run bluescreen view it needed to be installed and I couldn't complete the installation proccess. Shouldn't the program be ready to run? Did I do something wrong?
#18
Posted 15 August 2012 - 05:55 AM
It runs strait in Windows and via runscanner in PE. If you want to see how I set it up just extract the SFX.
There is something odd; the program seems to work but I don't have any crashes so, not a real test. The auto created cfg file seems to look for DumpChk.exe in "%programfiles%Debugging Tools for Windows". It isn't there but the program throws no error
Can you please test to see if the program works for you. If additional files are required, it's easy to fix.

You have to select and then dowload the ini file for it to open in notepad. I'm guessing that something's wrong with the ini. file? I'll do another build and I'll send you the log. If I use one of the extra download packages, is it added to the prepackaged build or does it replace it?
#21

Btw, drop box is asking for an email and password to access those files.
This is how it works:If I use one of the extra download packages, is it added to the prepackaged build or does it replace it?
The ppApps inside the prepackaged build are located in e.g. "LX.061412WorkbenchCommonppApps" a.k.a %GlobalTemplates%ppApps. They're just a collection of ppApps like the extra download packages, no difference. Like all ppApps, they can either be locked into the PE image by supplying them to the %GlobalTemplates%ppApps folder or they can be kept portable by supplying them to any root folder named ppApps on any drive you want. The ppApps work exactly the same in PE regardless of which location you use; same shortcuts, same functions etc. If there are exact duplicates, only one will be loaded in PE but any difference in naming will result in additional shortcuts for that program.

Please re-read post #7 above. "The parts in red need to be changed to correspond with your file(s)". I don't know how I can make it more clear. The ini file is not magic, it needs to be edited by you to match exactly the new file name(s) you're supplying.

I'll look at the ini file and fix it. I'll try another build tommorrow.

That's the ini file. Thanks for all your help. I will figure all this out. Do you have a minidump file file that I can run through BSV? Where are the minidump logs on your machine?
#23
Posted 17 August 2012 - 02:52 AM
I have all system failure options set to off and debugging info to none. I very rarely see a BSOD and when I do, I generally know what caused it. They would be stored in %SystemRoot%Minidump or memory.dmp I assume.

Over the weekend I'll try another build, but I'm going to add some more of my own apps. And I will modify the ini files myself using your guide. Eventually I'm going to do a build and run it from a USB stick, I think I understand the instructions. Some of the programs don't run correctly, so I'm going to make a list of what's not working and send it to you. Maybe you can tell me why. I want to thank you for all your help, I think the program is really amazing! One last question for now. I downloaded my own wallpaper, can you tell where and how do I add it to the build. Thanks again.

Last time I checked it:
http://virusscan.jot...3e74837ebd5138e
This time:
http://virusscan.jot...0541aea4a884a54
ClamAV decides it's a 'virus' this time, maybe next time 2 or 3 will flag it. Do you think it's a virus? If so, don't use the script.
Send me your list, I'll try to help if I can.
Put your wallpaper in %GlobalTemplates%\Wallpaper (\Workbench\Common\Wallpaper) and point to it in Wallpaper script:
