Hi
At my VistaPE-CD with Vista Explorer the shutdown does not function.
WimUtil-->SourceDir-->VistaDVD (German)
If I click on shutdown the Screen goes still where I can choose restart and termination.
Nothing is done!
Can me somebody cords please?

Hi Smithi, welcome!

Are using a pc emulator or real hardware?

[paraglider]

Does:

wpeutil shutdown

or

wpeutil reboot

work?

Its very early days for explorer on VistaPE. A lot does not work.

Hi Nuno
Does not function in the box and not of CD-RW

@paraglider

wpeutil shutdown or wpeutil reboot

Both does not function

[paraglider]

I find that the normal explorer shutdown does not work. But:

wpeutil shutdown

does a very fast shutdown. You should see a command window start and then it shuts down. Check from the command line if the parameters are still the same on German versions of Vista.

@paraglider
thanks

cmd-->wpeutil shutdown
cmd-->wpeutil reboot
function without problems

Hi
I created myself a "shutdown.cmd" and "reboot.cmd".
can I assign another icon to this linking?

Hi
I created myself a "shutdown.cmd" and "reboot.cmd".
can I assign another icon to this linking?

If Vista still works like XP:

• Right click the cmd icon
• Properties
• Change Icon
• Browse

(In German: "Anderes Symbol", "Durchsuchen")
Define Icon, shell32.dll has a choice of many icons, but you can define your own (maybe self generated) icon

Peter

BTW: You should define your German flag. I cannot remember every name.
And just menu captions in different languages give a sample of Bill's phantasy ...

thanks Peter
But how do I bring that into my script?

TXTAddLine,%ES%,"!CD\%DestDir%\Shutdown.cmd,Beenden!DS\Beenden.lnk,!CD\%DestDir%","Append"

• This will work with unexpected results: 2 times [Process]
• Sorry I cannot help here. I do not know the systax of Vista Shortcuts.
  I think there is an additional icon argument.

@NightMan: I found similar lines in many app scripts, but I worry about the commas in the shortcut arguments.
In my eyes the only correct code wold be #$c instead of a comma.
Can you explain why it works?

Can you explain why it works?

two days ago i write script for paragon software and it's not work, i don't know why... theoretically i use " for arguments and it must work, but sometimes not working... it's magic

[JonF]

I think there is an additional icon argument.

Yes:

what, where, work dir, parameters, description, icon, parameter for window (normal|min|max)

!DS - desktop
!WD - x:\windows
!S32 - x:\windows\system32
!PF - x:\Program Files
!CD - disk with programs
!PFC - !CD\Program Files
!PD - x:\Programs
!PDC - !CD\Programs

It seems to me (I am not sure) that, when not using a parameter, a space works better than nothing.

So the answer to Smithi's question, with maximum safety,is:

TxtAddLine,%ES%,"!CD\%DestDir%\Shutdown.cmd#$cBeenden!DS\Beenden.lnk#$c!CD\%DestDir%#$c #$c #$cIconFile.ico","Append"

I do not know if you can use an icon from an icon library (that is, with an index added to the library name).

@NightMan: I found similar lines in many app scripts, but I worry about the commas in the shortcut arguments.
In my eyes the only correct code would be #$c instead of a comma.
Can you explain why it works?

I do not know why it works, but in some cases it does not work. It may have something to do with the length of the line in the script file; I have seen cases in which a line works, but add an "if,..." at the beginning and it fails. Or maybe adding the "if,..." changes the processing path.

I think the WB quotes do not really have the functionalit of the 'command line quotes'. (I already asked that in a separate topic, I do not remember where and I did not get a satisfying answer).
In my suggestion: Always use the #$c!

is:

First remove the spaces from the TxtAddLine lines.The reason that it does not work:Shortcuts are generated at boot time. The generating program / batch or whatelse propably is running in the system32 directory.Because the icon names have no path, they cannot be found from the system32.Try to add the path to the icon names.In the first trial you may used hardcoded drive and path.
If that works use target environment variables like "SystemDrive%, %ProgramFiles%
(of course #$pSystemDrive#$p etc.)

Hi
It functions!
I copied the icon-files after "Windows\System32" and the "TxtAddLine" taken over by JonF

thanks Smithi
