The first thing that was a little irritating was the excessive length of time it takes for the ComboBox configuration screen to come up within WinBuilder, but I figured I could deal with that. The next thing was the extremely cryptic list of options with a lack of any documentation of any kind, leaving it up to the user to guess what each option means. Then you've got the Logon screen that you can't disable, and there appears to be no actual option for the RunOnceEx feature... Okay I'm getting off topic.
Anyway, after having all kinds of issues with ComboBox, I decided it would be best to just disable it and figure out another way to get AVG and TrueImage to work. So I went ahead and disabled it and ran the script list again. And now, lo and behold, I can't get into Windows! No matter what I do now, it does one of two things when I try and boot from the disc image in VMware. 1) It gets to the end of the "Windows is loading files..." screen and just sits there and does nothing, or 2) It gets to that same point and reboots, making an infinite loop. When I try to boot from the image in VirtualBox, it gets to that same point, and then VirtualBox crashes.
Now, before you reply to this, be sure and read this list I'm about to give you of everything I've already tried:
- Deleting the temp and target folders
- Re-downloading the VistaPE scripts
- Rebooting the computer
- Disabling just about everything in the build, including the entire apps folder
- Deleting and re-downloading 00-config-base.script and script.project
- Re-dumping my Vista install disc
- Reinstalling the WAIK
I checked my build log, and there are never any errors. There are, however, 188 warnings, but it looks to me like they shouldn't matter. I'll attach my latest log in case anyone wants to analyze it.
I've only found one other person who seems to have a similar problem, and he solved it by doing a full nuke n' pave of his hard drive, which I will absolutely not do.
I'm running the build on Vista 64-bit using a 32-bit install disc dumped to a directory on my hard drive. I also have the WAIK installed. Both of these things are correctly pointed to in WinBuilder.
This worked many, many times up until I axed the ComboBox script, so I can't believe this problem would have anything to do with my configuration or build environment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
