Very nice Handy to have XP and NT6 Installer for all versions combined in one Tool. Thanks for creating this Power Tool, which allows also to Set User Preferences Everything went OK when testing Install of 32-bits XP and 32-bits Windows 7

You can Restore a Universal XP Image file in 5 minutes. But to create such file takes more time ..... http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=23553 http://reboot.pro/13618/page__view__findpost__p__120249

No problem here with 64-bits Windows 7 OS Anyway it is SFX selfextractor, so there should not be any problem. Just doubleclick on Make_PE3.exe should work. I don't know what is causing your problem .....

You can try to Update 7-zip to latest version 7z920-x64.msi http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

@joakim Interesting, I hope you find some ways to further unlock 7 PE .... The auto install of drivers is also locked in 7 PE. When I simply use Action > Scan for hardware changes - button in Device Manager, then auto install of drivers is activated. Then after about 3 minutes most drivers are installed (except e.g. missing video driver) But how to make this happen without user interaction .... I could not find registry settings which would unlock and could enable auto install of drivers. Now I am using PnPutil.exe -i -a X:\Windows\inf\*.inf in driver_fix.cmd and pnp_fix.cmd to do the same. But I think it should be possible to unlock 7 PE somehow ....

It is as simple as described above. Just have a try. ; Small Icons for Desktop and User Pinned StartMenu shorcuts - Thanks to JFX ; If desired then change filename to \PE3-SmallIcons.reg In folder Make_PE3\Help_Info you find file Customize_Info.txt for more help

In folder Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_reg\x86\plugins you find file PE3-SmallIcons_reg.txt When you change the extension to have file PE3-SmallIcons.reg then small icons will be generated. Portable 7 PE will search in root of any drive for wallpaper.jpg and PStart folder with portable programs and drv folder with external drivers Copy PStart folder and wallpaper.jpg and drv folder with drivers as normal from Make_PE3\MULTI to root of HDD or USB boot drive.

@joakim Thanks for testing. In the next version the cleanup of config folder is built-in. It would be nice if in someway we can keep and use the registry with installed drivers as in normal Windows 7 is the case. I don't know if it is possible to unlock 7 PE for this purpose. May be not. Unfortunately the registry in 7 PE is volatile. Otherwise it would be possible to have learning process like in full XP ....

Happy New Year ! The 32-bits version has dotnet 2.0 support for only 15 MB extra size of the ISO Boot Image ! The external folder TestNF20 contains also some handy programs to test if .NET Framework is working in 7 PE environment. I have no experience with bluetooth and probably that will not work yet in my 7 PE On the other hand it will be possible to add it, since xuantian ISO is having bluetooth support already.

In Portable Windows 7 PE I used with succes dpinst.exe combined with dpinst.xml to update and install all missing drivers. As source I used wn6-x86 DriverPacks extracted to 1.5 GB folder x86 on portable 2.5 inch USB-HDD drive In this case DriverGeek (driverguru) failed to install all drivers. See post #236 in http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=23931&st=220

@TimFred007 Thanks for all info. It will require quite some testing before we know how add registry for all installed drivers to the original SYSTEM hive. I don't know if it will be really possible to boot the PE with all drivers allready installed, but anyway thanks for the tips.

Thanks for your interesting work with feedback info. Saving the SOFTWARE and DEFAULT registry hives can be used to Update the boot.wim file In this way we can keep the changes related to Install of Programs and change of User Settings. It would be interesting if we also can keep the changes due to install of device drivers, but I think that saving SYSTEM registry hive does not work for this purpose. What do you think about it ? In future we will have program WIM_Update.exe to update the 7 PE ISO Boot Image. It will be something like my existing IMX_XP_Update.exe The auto install of device drivers can be easily switched off in startnet.cmd by placing leading :: in the rule with driver_fix.cmd In the next version I will make changes such that the smallest version BS won't have auto install of drivers. That will be the quick booting PE version for PC Repair purposes. The Explorer version will then have auto install of Network, Audio and Video driver, handy for general purpose. The Media version will have auto install of all Hardware drivers required for having DVD support.

The easiest way to make a small version is to use Explorer = NO setting. Also if you have WAIK for Windows 7 installed then you can make pe3_x86.iso instead of 7pe_x86.iso The minimal pe3_x86.iso is about 245 MB but has still support for all important features, but e.g. Windows Media Player and IE8 are NOT build in. http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=23931&pid=165693&st=200entry165693

A small change of startnet.cmd works for me In folder Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\x86\Windows\System32 edit startnet.cmd and uncomment by removal of leading :: so that you have start "Driver Fix PE3 - Wait ...." /wait "%SystemRoot%\System32\driver_fix.cmd" For the final version this type of scenario will be desired: Most drivers are installed by driver_fix.cmd at boot and important network services have started, then Desktop appears and remaining drivers are installed in the background by pnp_fix.cmd Finally you have 7 PE operating system with all drivers installed and network services are running.
