Registry files in Make_PE3_plugins.exe were causing the problem that harddisk drives were invisible in 7 PE when the required program files for the plugin were not supplied by the user. I have updated already Make_PE3_plugins.exe to overcome the problem. Thanks Rootman for solving the issue. :

Boot Images are collected in folder MULTI\images for making MultiBoot CD/DVD (use CD = YES or CD box Checked) Adjust the grub4dos boot menu to your needs by editing file menu.lst in folder MULTI Folder MULTI contains also PStart folder with Portable programs and Snow wallpaper.jpg You can add Linux Parted Magic pmagic-5.5.iso to folder MULTI\images http://partedmagic.com/download.html Add VLC Media Player Portable to your MULTI\PStart\Progs folder Download from http://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/vlc_portable The files and structure of folder MULTI is universal and can be used for booting from HDD/USB or CD/DVD Use ImgBurn to burn CD/DVD from the created MULTI-dd-mm-yyyy.iso files in MULTI_ISO folder.

You can try to modify Make_PE3.cmd to give HTA support. Uncomment the two rules by removal of ":: " :: Dism.exe /image:"%PEWork%\mount" /Add-Package /PackagePath:"%PETools%\%ARCH%\WinPE_FPs\winpe-hta.cab" :: Dism.exe /image:"%PEWork%\mount" /Add-Package /PackagePath:"%PETools%\%ARCH%\WinPE_FPs\en-us\winpe-hta_en-us.cab" Then use Make_PE3.cmd with option 4 to make pe3_x86.iso using WAIK It was not build in ..... For boot problems try WinContig to make ISO on USB-HDD unfragmented. EDIT: Instead of adding HTA Package to pe3_x86.iso you can simply use IE8 Setting in making 7pe_86.iso to give you HTA Support. When IE8 is added to the build, I can e.g. run WPI Only adding HTA package did not work for me to run WPI Change Explorer Setting to IE8 (in cmd use 2x E) and use Option 2

SP1 Beta hotfix update was not tested by me, but it would be strange if it had the effect that you described. May be you can try NOT to use VMWare. Boot instead with grub4dos menu on HDD or USB and Selecting then the 7 PE ISO BootImage for booting 7PE from RAMDISK. Otherwise you can use ImgBurn to burn your 7 PE and boot with CD. Do you have "X:\Program Files" folder in PE and are your program located there or somewhere else ?

No problem here. It is a Selfextracting Archive. After download just double click.

Solution: simply Reboot before using Make_PE3 programs to STOP WimFltr v.1 Requirements and Info - See post #1 Make_PE3_plugins Adding Programs before building the 7 PE ISO - The easiest way is to make use of plugins for Make_PE3 package. The Make_PE3_plugins.exe are selfextracting packages with addons, and containing files, registry and drivers for apps, and which contain Start Menu and Desktop icons and have similar folder structure as in Make_PE3 and as in 7 PE and Windows 7. Registry exported from Windows 7 or 7 PE can be used as reg files in the plugins, so that they can be made easily. The Export registry must be made suitable for import in the from PE3 loaded SYSTEM SOFTWARE and DEFAULT hive and have keys like [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\PE3-SYSTEM\.......... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\PE3-SOFTWARE\.......... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\PE3-USER\.......... In this way we can share and exchange easily plugins packages with addons. : As exemple you may download Make_PE3_plugins.exe for adding imaging software to Make_PE3 folder to build Portable 7 PE Run and Extract Make_PE3_plugins.exe in the same way as you did for Make_PE3.exe

It works for Grub4dos ISO emulation, which you have confirmed .... You can combine this perfectly with PStart folder located on USB-stick outside the ISO. So I don't see why you want to do it differently. The "-" is converted to "_" seems to be caused by -force-uppercase since these characters are for me on the same key where "_" is the uppercase of "-" In my command there is no problem since the files are located inside the wim and their filenames cannot be converted. So if you remove -force-uppercase then it might work for you. You see that comparing ISO with Joliet and Rock Ridge dirs has given you more insight in the problem. But still I don't see the advantage of your approach.

In Make_PE3 the ISO is made with mkisofs and: mkisofs.exe -iso-level 4 -force-uppercase -volid "Win7PE_x86" -b boot/etfsboot.com -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 8 -hide boot.catalog -duplicates-once -o "%PEWork%\7pe_x86.iso" "%PEWork%\ISO" Remarkable differences with your code for mkisofs: -boot-load-size 8 -b boot/etfsboot.com This is working OK to display Language at boot time using bootmgr.exe.mui

Do you mean iso level 4 is not a good solution ? No, I mean mkisofs -iso-level 4 solves the problem, since it can handle long names, which might otherwise have been cut-off in the ISO directory. Isobuster can give insight about this (ISO Joliet and Rock Ridge dirs vary in case and in cut-off lenght) Check also influence of bootmgr versus BOOTMGR -iso-level 4 will make and display uppercase in Windows Explorer (ISO) -iso-level 3 will display lowercase in Windows Explorer (Joliet) grub4dos is case sensitive

It might be caused by the winsxs folder name and manifest for bootmgr.exe.mui These names are extremely long and are probably needed. Check in winsxs with searchstring _fr-fr_ for differences in x86_microsoft-windows-b..ager-pcat.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7100.0_fr-fr_32f795006dffd3e5.manifest x86_microsoft-windows-b..ager-pcat.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7100.0_fr-fr_32f795006dffd3e5 x86_microsoft-windows-b..nment-pxe.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7100.0_fr-fr_cc8bb547901d906e x86_microsoft-windows-b..nment-pxe.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7100.0_fr-fr_cc8bb547901d906e.manifest -iso-level 4 can handle long names

Thanks for informing me about the issue. At the moment I have no idea which change in Make_PE3 programs is causing the described effect. Do you have any idea what could be the reason ?

It means you are using 32-bits version of bcdedit.exe in 64-bits OS environment. I thought better to use then the 64-bits version, but as you say the 32-bits version is more likely to be available and might work to do the job. For grub4dos you can use ISO emulation and everything will work OK. You can use BOOT_IMG.exe or direct Make_PE3.exe to install 7pe_x86.iso as boot option in grub4dos menu.lst on HDD or USB. title Boot 7pe_x86.iso - ISO find --set-root --ignore-floppies /7pe_x86.iso map /7pe_x86.iso (0xff) map --hook root (0xff) chainloader (0xff)/BOOTMGR
