I finally got a .net program to run with Winpe 3.0, I incorporated the .net framework into the Winpe. I had initially tried this when Winpe 2.0 came out with no luck, but I did get it with 3.0. If there is enough interest I will post my solution.

It turned out to be a proxy issue. Since IE8 is new the proxy was not opened up enought to allow downloads from HP and Dell's website.

On my home Vista computer I updated ie7 to ie8 and I can get to ftp://ftp.hp.com. The problem happened in a work machine in a new build. It has to be some setting that is causing this. My upgrading ie7 to ie8 my current ie7 setting that ie8 used allowed me to get to the website. It can be confirmed ie8 can get to the site, now its finding in some cased why it does not. If I find out I will post my findings. Matt

I am running Windows Vista with IE8 and now I can not download files from various ftp websites. I think its a FTP issue. If I try to type in ftp://ftp.hp.com I get a broswer error of can not display web page. This worked with ie7 since I updated to IE this has busted. I have tried stopping the firewall service with no luck. I have tried configuring ie8 browser settings like enalbe ftp folder view and use passive ftp wiht no luck. Just wondering if anyone out there can get to ftp://ftp.hp.com with IE8. Thank you. Matt

jonscaife, Can I please ask exactly how you did this? " I then added these to a SFX archive (which is ~100Kb) which extracts the files to dllcache before ie setup is run. This produced the desired result!" Thanks

Hello, On the last stage of the windows vista setup a black screen appears for quite a while. The windows vista logo then appears and the installation is then over. Does anyone know of a way to get a background on this part of the setup. I tried the themes in oobesystem with no luck. Thank you.

Here is what I have for my txtsetup.sif. I used winpe2005 [busExtenders.Load] nvnetbus = nvnetbus.sys [busExtenders] nvnetbus = "NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator",files.nvnetbus,nvnetbus [sourceDisksFiles] nvnetbus.sys = 1,,,,,,,4,1 nvnrm.sys = 1,,,,,,,4,1 nvsnpu.sys = 1,,,,,,,4,1 bdco1ins.dll = 1,,,,,,,2,1 bdco1.dll = 1,,,,,,,2,1 nvconrm.dll = 1,,,,,,,2,1 nvnetbus.inf = 1,,,,,,,20,1 [HardwareIdsDatabase] PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0086 = "nvnetbus" PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_008C = "nvnetbus" PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00DF = "nvnetbus" PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0038 = "nvnetbus" PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0057 = "nvnetbus" PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0269 = "nvnetbus" PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0373 = "nvnetbus" nvnetbus.sys 7-11-2006 nvnetbus.tag 5-26-2006 nvnrm.sys 7-11-2006 nvsnpu.sys 7-11-2006 BDCO1.DLL 7-11-2006 BDCO1INS.DLL 7-11-2006 NVCONRM.DLL 6-29-2005 nvnetbus.inf 7-11-2006 I also had a lot of problems with this and after I did the build I had to load the hive of setupreg.hiv in registry editor (I named they key 1st setupreg) and added the following registry settings. After you add these setting unload the hive and the setupreg.hiv will be updated. Burn your iso with this new build. I hope this work for you or at least gives you some ideas.

TofuBug, Yes that is correct edit the software hive in offline mode. Sorry I did not specify this better, glad you got it to work and that is good to know you do not need those dll's for some reason in my testing I thought you did but I will take your work for it. Matt

By adding the windows wmi package I was still having issues in Winpe 2.0 with some wmi calls. By adding the following to the registry the issue was gone. I also added teh mscoree.dll from the vista install.wim.

I have got LDAP to work in WINPE. From the Vista install.wim I added the follwoing files to the WINPE 2.0 boot.wim adsldp.dll adsnt.dll mscoree.dll mscorier.dll mscories.dll I then added to the sofware hive of WINPE 2.0 boot.wim the follwowing entries. Note you can load the hive and call int PE_software. You could cut and paste this into a .reg file and execute it.

When you boot into winpe with the new boot.wim the network must be running along with DNS to bind. Matt

If you type set at the command prompt it will give you the user you are currently logged in at. I think it will be the system account. To use net use with another user that has rights on the server do the follwoing net use x: \\server1\share /user:domain_name\useraccount If you dont have a domain then. net use x: \\server1\share /user:useraccount Matt

I think you could automate this. The following verbage came from the Winpe chm file. Winpeshl.ini controls whether a custom shell is loaded in Windows PE instead of the default Command Prompt window. To load a custom shell, create a file named Winpeshl.ini and place it in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 of your custom Windows PE image. The .ini file must have the following section and entry. [LaunchApp] AppPath = %SYSTEMDRIVE%\myshell.exe [LaunchApps] %SYSTEMDRIVE%\mydir\application1.exe, -option1 -option2 application2.exe, -option1 -option2 Set the AppPath entry to the path to your shell application. The path can be either fully qualified, or you can use environment variables, such as %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Myshell.exe. The AppPath entry does not support command-line options. Use the [LaunchApps] section to run applications with command-line options. The applications run in the order listed; separate the name of the application from its options with a comma. When you exit the Command Prompt window or your custom shell application, Windows PE restarts. Thus you could create a bat file with the commands I gave at it should do this. For Winpe 2005 we had a .net application that started with the above technique where a user could put in there own static IP address. I can not wait until someone figures out how to get the .net to work with winpe 2.0 then we can use our .net application again. Matt

I would also try hideeulapage set to true as well under the oobe

Under oobeSystem---->Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup_neutral--->oobe--Make sure skipuserOOBE and skipmachineoobe is set to true. Matt

In windows xp for the unattended.txt file you could specify a OEMPnpDriver path like this: [unattended] Hibernation = no UnattendMode = FullUnattended DUDisable = Yes TargetPath = \WINDOWS OEMPnPDriversPath = "drv\ws670\Audio\Internal\SMAXWDM\SE;drv\ws670\Audio\Internal\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP;drv\ws670\Audio\SB\Audigy2;drv\ws670\Audio\SB\Audigy2\Winxxinf;drv\ws670\Keyboard\SmartCrd;drv\ws670\Keyboard\SmartCrd\DIAGNOSTICS;drv\ws670\Modem;drv\ws670\Mouse\Logitech;drv\ws670\Mouse\Logitech\Win2K_XP;drv\ws670\Mouse\Logitech\Win2K_XP\clean;drv\ws670\NIC\WinXP;drv\ws670\SATA;drv\ws670\SCSIRAID\Adaptec\PERC320;drv\ws670\SCSIRAID\Adaptec\U320\HostRAID;drv\ws670\SCSIRAID\Adaptec\U320\RAID_0_1;drv\ws670\Video\ATI\FireGL\V3100\Driver\2KXP_INF;drv\ws670\Video\nVidia\Quadro\FX1300;drv\ws670\Video\nVidia\Quadro\FX3400;drv\ws670\Video\nVidia\Quadro\NVS280" DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore OemSkipEula = Yes UnattendSwitch = Yes OemPreinstall = Yes It gave you the option to specify many different drivers because for example a dell can come with many different video drivers and its nice to throw all the drivers in one location and let the pnp technology of windows pick the correct driver. We never had any problems with this and it made driver management very simple. In Windows vista under the Windows AIK chm I found the following verbage: The previous method of using OEMPnPDriverPath as a mechanism to add device drivers to Windows is not supported in Windows Vista. You must add device drivers to your answer file by using Package Manager, or during Windows Setup. As fare as I can tell there are now only three ways to add drivers to Windows Vista not including $OEM$, which are Add Device Drivers to an Offline Windows Image Add Device Drivers During Windows Setup, witch include two methods of: Add a device driver during Windows PE Add a device driver during audit mode The problem is all of these methods add all found drivers to the driver store. I am getting inconsistent results of incorrect drivers being installed for some machines especially some older ones. Does anyone have a comments of why the OEMPnPDriverPath in the unattend.txt was taken away and is there something in vista that is simliar to this without using offline stuff. Matt
