Hi parker,
welcome in the forum
The subfolder must be at the SM token:

Run,%BuildModelScript%,Add-Shortcut,"SM/SysInfo & Benchmark","#$pSystemDrive#$p\Programs\cpuz\cpuz.cmd","CPU-Z"

For booting from RAM, see the BootSDI script as sample.
Important is to use ntdetect.com, ramdisk.sys and setupldr.bin from W2003 source CD.

thank you , theres one thing i dont understand about bootsdi , where do i set the path to the W2003 source? (is it the button in "include"?,unclear to me) , or should i use W2003 to build the project?

[parker]

i had a look at the bootsdi source, ntdetect.com,ramdisk.sys,setupldr.bin are all integrated to it , so i guess i dont need to set the W2003 source after all (in the older version of wbuilder i had it was necessary to set it)

There exist two different versions of BootSDI:
In the LiveXP project there is an older version than in the nativeEx_barebone project.
The LiveXP version contains the files. So you do not have to worry about them. But is seems not to be completely legal to distribute MS files.
The nativeEx_barebone version offers a separate file box in the bottom where you can define the path to these (your) files.

If you have W2003 CD, you can build with that CD and do not need to define the path to the three files.

Please post the log:
After building the complete project click the log tab.
Then click "Save as log.html" in the lower left.
That generates "log.html" in the %BaseDir% folder (where winbuilder.exe resides).
Post this file here.

BTW: This is the standard way when asking for help. Other can see what's belonging to your project and how it ran.

You have some errors in your log. Usually, if there is an error, the final PE will not run corectly.
So, first you must try to eliminate the errors (maybe with help from here).

One of the error shows me that there is something VERY mixed in your project:
Run - Failed to find section [Process-log] in file: [%BaseDir%\Archive\Build\ScriptLog.script]
The \Archive folder is not anymore used since a long time.

I suggest to delete your complete LiveXP folder (save your personal scripts before!), delete %BaseDir%\Temp.

Then download a fresh LiveXP, define the source CD path and run it w/o any other changes.

If that runs, add your personal scripts and try again.

you reminded me , im using the winsxs script that i took from an older version puted it in LiveXP\Basic\Build, some of my progs need it (alot of programs needs it , i wonder why it was removed in the first place) , i removed the scriptlog line from it to fix that error , tried building the project again and nothin changed , then tried without it (disabled winsxs) and it still didnt make a diffrence so i dont think its related , ill try to download a fresh livexp later on , in the meantime could you please have a look at the winsxs script and fix the other (file rename) errors?

I'm sorry, I do not want to look for the winsxs errors now.

As long as you have old and new scripts mixede, it is wasted time.

thats the only old script i have in it , why you think its a waste of time? if i cant get my favorite programs to run with winbuilder , then yes it certainly is , guess ill have to fix those file rename errors myself but anyway its not related to the main issue , as alredy said even with the winsxs disabled it still same , a fresh livexp will likely fix it

One old script is one too much!

ok i deleted my livexp folder and re-downloaded a fresh copy , it shorted it to 38 seconds instead of 2 minutes (time between the desktop background & til it fully loads) , is this normal? bit too long for my liking , i attached the latest log , theres no errors in it , also i found out the winsxs thing is alredy in the explorer script so guess i wont need to fiddle around with the old script
