Got VistaPE V.12 loaded to CD just, but with I use a USB device its not loading the extra vistape.cfg config file from the root of the usb drive, like is does when it boots from CD.

Thanks

Same problem here. I had this also with V.11 and was waiting for V.12. But it seems the problem still exists.
When i click "reload Vista PE Settings" then it works but that is not a solution for me. I hope somebody has an idea how to fix the problem.

Just so you don't feel too lonely, some similar 'glitches' were noted during the v.12 limited testing (pre-public beta) phase. But, in my own case at least, the incomplete start-up processing of vistape.cfg was a transient non-reproduceable phenomenon that occured once only on a USB device boot using the BS Explorer shell. Still not sure about specific (either, both, neither) contributing factors.

In the circumstances, pinning it down could be tricky, but, hopefully, more public beta experience like yours may help in finding the culprit.

BTW, If you make all the programs run from ram it works great. The problem is that its looking for %CD Drive% and there isn't one.

Did you also try reloading VistaPE settings? When it happened to me, and apparently in PatrickF's case as well, that made if recognize the USB device and load the vistape.cfg sections (shortcuts, etc.) to use programs residing there.

I'm not suggesting that is a proper 'cure' for the problem. I'm just asking 'cuz repeatable symptoms might help NightMan in tracking it down.

In my case it's reproducable and it seems that there is no correlation to the used shell.
I use a USB Harddisk and force not all programs to ram.

Yes, sometimes we have some problem with booting from USB, i plan fully rewrite VistaPE Loaded (vpeldr.exe) in VistaPE v.12 and this bug will be fully fixed :)

ps right now vpeldr writed on perl and i plan rewrite it with autoIT, but it can take many time..

how complex is the work that vpeldr does?
i am a software developer and maybe could help out.
my languages are delphi (win32) oder c# (.net).

This is good to hear - if you're really interested in helping out then perhaps we could work together on a few custom software to improve things.

Big thanks! But i don't know this languages and can not control it .... but, if you can write small Windows Vista native program that can configure network without "TCP/IP Registry Compatibility" service, it's will be very very good... PeNetCfg is very good tool, but it's not working without Vista DVD :)
