[booty#1]

Hi folks,

I already had the chace to play around with this new version for some days and I can only say "Great!"

Please note that this version does not continue the API introduced in beta 009.

Looks like the new servers are:

www.vistape.net/project
www.vistape.net/beta

Looks like the download of pcw2007.script is broken. I get a missing file reported and the download hangs.

This is the problem I have experienced with version 8:  log.zip   2.38KB   356 downloads
And this is how I overcome it temporarily:  Change.zip   227bytes   334 downloads

Why DirMove command is not working?

In addition ShutDown/Restart is not working?!

[darren rose]

When downloading from new server getting message about missing file and then download seems to freeze and I have to restart winbuilder

NightMan's Linux - bzimage26.web

[Brito]

wb gets confused when a file has no extension - this bug was mentioned by booty#1 - the only workaround at the moment is downloading this file manually.

-- Select the file on download center
-- Click on "Details" tab
-- Select Direct Link

Hope this works, good luck!

Glad youre still around. I tought you had left us.
Thanks for the update. Will mess with it on weekend.

Why DirMove command is not working?

do you really have this folders? it can happen if you not run "Copy Files" script ... please make and post FULL project log, not only one script...

Testing of VstaPE 10 under Vista Ultimate with WinBuilder 072a and Vista Ultimate source.

1. ExplorerV.Script is absent in download and I have copied version 7 from VistaPE 08.

2. DirMove command in Standard-6-postconfig.script is not working:  log1.zip   56.14KB   358 downloads
and boot.wim is not generated, having as consequence very large ISO.

I have replaced it with following sequence:

DirCopy,"%targetdir%\Program#$sFiles",%BootTMP%
DirCopy,"%targetdir%\ProgramData",%BootTMP%
DirCopy,"%targetdir%\sources",%BootTMP%
DirCopy,"%targetdir%\Users",%BootTMP%
DirCopy,"%targetdir%\Windows",%BootTMP%
DirDelete,"%targetdir%\Program#$sFiles"
DirDelete,"%targetdir%\ProgramData"
DirDelete,"%targetdir%\sources"
DirDelete,"%targetdir%\Users"
DirDelete,"%targetdir%\Windows"

but it increases processing time.  log2.zip   55.92KB   342 downloads

3. ShutDown/Reset is not working.

4. There is error in recc.script:

@Nightman

As known, I'm not really a Vista friend.
But currently I tried to install VistaPE Multiboot (beta) to do some experiments with networking (or better, because I promised to darren rose here).

I sometimes before got already a running ISO, but in this case -independent of WAIK or Vista source- the Emulator comes up with sencefull things, shows the '???' picture with some geometrical and coloured items, and the screen becomes black.

I once waited for 1 our: no change.

Maybe you give a tutorial for such stupid Vista users like me, what to do if you have

• WAIK only
• Vista DVD only (I have the 'universal' with about 2.x Gb)
• Both of them

Perhaps some options of some scripts cannot be used like download?
Then I suggest to upload a version which runs on 'One Click' like nativeEx_barebone and LiveXP (I think NatipePE, too)

Thanks

Peter

Yes I have the Vistape.cd in the root folder. Here is my txtsetup.sif file

Hi Peter, just noticed your message, thank's so much for going to this much trouble - I have now posted a message saying that I have got the networking working with the new beta 010 build

Just out of interest I have only the vista DVD (The Windows Anytime Upgrade one that comes with some PC's), I don't have the WAIK as can't be bothererd to download a 1gb if I don't need it!, and VistaPE 010 builds and runs fine!!!

Great product and an excellent forum with some really friendly and helpful people, makes a nice change

Thanks all

I can understand that, I'm sure I will hit another stumbling block soon but so far so good!

That makes life more interesting!

Remember: it's only beta release.

[powaking]

Not sure why but for some reason but I can't get networking to work in this new VistaPE build.

Anyone have any ideas? Not getting any IP address and PENetCFG reports an error when trying to start the TCPIP service.

I'm happy that the LiteStep script now allows lots of desktop icons with no modifiction.

I'm sad that the "Delete Work Folder" option has disappeared from the LiteStep script, since the desktop icons font size appears to be set to the vicinithy of four points, so in order to read the captions I'll have to extract the 7z, unpack it, fix it, pack it, and re-insert it.

I'm also not getting the network to work, but I need to do some testing before I complain.

I noticed that my icons text are a bit smaller too.

Glad to know I'm not the only one.
