hehehe, i solved it

my bad, wallpapers have to be numbered, and they arent ^^

ill upload new zip soon for you

Damian666

[allanf]

I think this is it...


Just 'wall-cmd'.

The script unzips the .zip straight to 'Program Files', and executes the .exe and creates a shortcut to the .exe in 'Program Files\wall-cmd\'. ATM everything unzips into Program Files without a sub-folder.

I can change it, or you can change it for the other three people who might have downloaded the Project already and are wondering what's going wrong... umm, except they might never delete the current .zip and be stuck with it forever ... ...

Let me think... a new script, and a new .zip name? ...

[damian666]

so what you want me to do?
include a folder in the zip with all stuff in it? i dont mind ya knwo ^^

just tell me, and i will do it

Damian666

PS, you have to upgrade to latest compile man, its faster ^^

[allanf]

Yeah. Put the folder in... saves me re-writing.

Thanks man ... ...

[damian666]

[allanf]

Let em see your fresh wallpapers

[allanf]

Thats:

[damian666]

lol, i mean the folder name man

rest stays the same, but need to know folder name inside zip

hehehe

Damian666

[allanf]

same as before 'wall-cmd'.

If I have time I can do an MD5 script to make sure users don't have the non-functioning one... but they'd need to be online.

It'll be OK.

[damian666]

ok, done

have fun man, nice that your back ^^

Damian666

[allanf]

Yep. That works ...

Looks like you've gone all 'astronomical' and beautiful shots.

Some are a liitle too dark up the top for my transparent top bars, tho.

One day we'll see if wew can get it working in WinPE 3.0 (Win7).



... and thanks. It's great working with you ... ...

[damian666]

well, what i dont get... is that it does work on windows 7 man.
so... its nothing structural they changed, its just some stupid thing, which we will talk about as...

"oh, now i get it "

Damian666

[allanf]

Regarding WinPE 3.0 (Win7):

I see your logo briefly popup. When it fades out, it leaves behind a black space in the default wallpaper. That's all that happens.

Is that a clue? Something missing in the new PE?

[damian666]

hmm, check if gdiplus.dll is present in teh PE build, it is used to convert wallpaper to bmp...

Damian666

Similar to pe2.1 except for the sxs folder names. Hope you don't mind screen shots. I'd hate to have to type it.

C:\mount\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.0.7000.0_none_7ea202c2d451

and

C:\mount\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.7000.0_none_80887a5cd177
566d

root is c:\mount



... haven't we done this before? ... ...

[damian666]

hehehe, yeah, it does feel like a dejavu huh

ok, try this for me... add gdiplus in the same dir as the wallcmd, and see what happens ^^

Damian666

[allanf]

Nope. I can't see that that works.

I haven't tried winpe 3.0 much.

It's not just your logo that leaves black holes in the wallpaper. Even the cmd window. And when BGInfo is refreshed, it superimposes itself on the desktop without the previous BGInfo disappearing (for instance when it's refreshed after network is started).

Weird. Everything works in pe2.1

[damian666]

hmm... that normally happens when a wallpaper is applied, which doesnt exist...

after running it, is there a wallpaper.bmp in windows dir?

Damian666

[allanf]

after running it, is there a wallpaper.bmp in windows dir?

I can see the \windows\BGInfo.bmp and \windows\system32\winpe.bmp, no wallpaper.bmp

Would you rather do this on that messenger thing? ... I'd have to find it and re-install it again ... what was it called?

[allanf]

I just created a pe 2.1 with the exact same settings - swapping the winpe.wim - and you're right. The wallpaper.bmp is in there for pe 2.1 but not for pe 3.0! What's going on? ... ...

[damian666]

well, seems the conversion of the wallpaper fails

why... beats me... on normal windows 7 it works flawlessly...

maybe its not allowed to put a file in the windir...

hmm... let me think...

hmm... let me think...

BGInfo.bmp is in there from the start and then refreshes OK. Should I put a wallpaper.bmp there as well (when building) and see if it changes when the wallcmd.exe /r is executed?

[damian666]

yes, good idea, that way we see if the cmd itself works

Damian666

[allanf]

Hi damian666,

In WinPE 3.0. At build-time, copied system32\winpe.wim to windows\wallpaper.bmp. At boot.time, wallcmd /r is auto-started, but there is no change change in the wallpaper. After wallcmd.exe /r - no chnage. No black holes though.

[damian666]

then i am afraid they really broke something man ^^

it should work that way...
