The new version is merged with the create ISO script for better functionality
This version needs to specify the path of the Windows 2003 setup or a folder that contains the files setupldr.bin and ramdisk.sy_ from the Windows 2003 setup
Get it here

Why not make it easier. Create the Script where we can Browse and choose what folder contains those two ramdisk.sys & setupldr.bin Windows 2003 Server files but Still use our WindowsXP Sp2 CD as the main source.

Replaced the
Archive\Tweaks\WindowsRamBoot.script
with yours.
Extracted all Windows XP SP2 CD contents to its own folder then created rambootin and place those two files. Used this folder as the source.

Of WinBuilder Directory. That would make it easier.
You can probably use the Explorer script as example as to how to make the Browse thing work. Its used on the Wallpaper choice. Or Ove can help in how he made it work.

L:\OPEN BUILDER\WinBuilder049 Final\Source\
ramdisk.sys
setupldr.bin
It seems to find them When creating the RAM ISO but How do I know its running on pure RAM. As I see it know the CD still loads and the B drive still has the User Profiles.

It seems a very clean and effective solution..
Just reminded that you can add a button on the interface and use the retrieve command to get a user selected folder where the ram files are located..
Retrieve,Dir,StartDir,%var%
This should workaround the bug that makes text labels disapear..
I'm going to buy some bug-spray on monday to see if it gets squashed for good..

Retrieve,Dir,%pTextBox1%,%pTextBox1%
Can you fix this in next release to update the textbox when its variable changes?
#19

The same goes for all interface elements there should be an option to save the current value to the script.
#20
Posted 20 August 2006 - 12:42 PM
IniWrite,"%ScriptFile%","variables","%CustomDir%","%CustomDir%"
does not work.
Is there any way to force expansion of variables in the interface section. So:
pTextBox1=,1,0,81,157,201,30,%CustomDir%
would show the value of %CustomDir% instead of %CustomDir%?

I can't wait to get home and test this script. It's a real bombshell.
Good work smiley!

There is a spelling error:
From
If you want to enable booting form ram using xp you have to enter below the path of the Windows 2003 source or the service pack 1.
To
If you want to enable booting from RAM using XP. Just enter the path below, of the Windows 2003 source or the Service Pack 1. Press the ENTER key for the entered path to be Implemented. You can also point to the folder that contains ramdisk.sys and setupldr.bin from Win2003
Since this part is very important we have to emphacise it more.
From
You do not need to use the create iso script because booting from ram requires some additional files in the iso image
To
DISABLE the "Create ISO Script". Booting from RAM requires some additional files in the iso image.
So does this mean we cant point to the folder that contains those two files anymore?

Changes:
-Changed the script interface
-Made possible to copy files by entering the windows 2003 path or another folder that contains the files(in windows 2003 the files were in the folder I386)
-Fixed the problem with file version
Download WindowsRamBoot.script v007
