If you have the issue in the title, where these are working in 32-bit WinPE but not 64-bit WinPE - you need to add SysWOW64\comctl32.dll AND replace System32\comctl32.dll with one from a full Windows install (WinPE version seems to be trimmed down)

 

That took an inordinate amount of time to figure out, hence posting here.

Try Win8.1SE or Win10PE x64

Did originally, couldn't get my build to work. This project is almost done anyway, getting 'browse for folder' to work is the final task.

 

EDIT: Worth noting the left hand tree pane in explorer doesn't work either, and 'browse for folder' does appear on some apps. Different calls?

Have tried that one unfortunately and no luck, though it worked on the 32-bit image.

 

I feel like something else is missing from SysWOW64 since the System32 between both images is the same and the registry keys added by startnet.cmd are the same.

Bump to this. For some reason loads of stuff is broken again after updating from build 10240 to 10586. Fairly sure it is related to common control/common dialog dlls but can't figure it out.

 

File -> Save as/Open gives a memory read error unless shellstyle.dll is absent, in which case it works fine (obviously need that for other stuff though)

 

"Browse for folder" dialog and "Properties" dialog broken

 

Replacing both comdlg32.dll and comctl32.dll in system32/syswow64 folders doesn't fix the problem.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Follow up - system32\edputil.dll was what was missing for file/save dialog, "Browse for folder" tree and explorer's left pane to work properly. Interesting as this file is not present in the 32-bit image but the dialogs work properly there nonetheless.

 

The missing properties dialog was me forgetting to regsvr32 actxprxy.dll (whoops)

 

Only issue I am still getting is apps seemingly not being able to access offline registry from just the 64-bit image (double driver, runscanner, autoruns aren't playing ball). Double driver commandline for instance comes up with "Scanning registry ... Fail (a call to an OS function failed)". As ever, any help would be appreciated, but I will update again if I figure it out.

Add. note to the above, it turns out edputil.dll is also present in the 32-bit 10586 image. Seems that it's required for many functions to work in 10586 but not 10240 WinRE.

it seems to me that you construct your own winpe10. Perhaps it can help you if you google MicroWinpeBuilder and find the pdf in the 7Z or look at the Ps scripts. 

Regards.
