*** Update of Make_PE3 package to Create Portable Windows 7 PE *** Changed - X:\Program Files in Links was changed to %programfiles% or %programfiles(x86)% Thanks to Lancelot for giving this solution to have correct Links fot IE8 and PENetwork Changed - imagex parameters in Make_PE3.exe are now absolute path with surrounding double quotes Hopefully this helps to solve problem in x64 environment in some cases Changed - Setting Locale TimeZone is removed in case of winre.wim ,because of long timeout delay Added - Program Version is now visible in running program - latest version is 1.0

I don't know why you get this error. I developed the program in XP and can run Make_PE3.exe quite well in XP without using AIK. Dism.exe and wimgapi.dll will be used from folder Make_PE3\AIK_Tools\x86\Dism Can you try to make pe3_x86.iso using second radio button in Make_PE3.exe Hopefully that is working for you.

Can you give a screenshot or detailed description of error. Are you making 7pe_x86.iso (option 2 in batch or use Checkbox in exe) Or pe3_x86.iso (option 4 of batch or second radio button in exe) Strange, the version of post #124 is using the same code for using Dism and imagex Or do you compare with earlier version with only options to make pe3_x86.iso ? Please check version of used Dism.exe and wimgapi.dll in folder Make_PE3\AIK_Tools\x86\Dism It should be 7100 0r 7600 and not 6001 Dism.exe in this folder is used by the program to create 7pe_x86.iso without using AIK. For making pe3_x86.iso then as always Dism.exe of AIK is used

*** Update of Make_PE3 package to Create Portable Windows 7 PE *** Removed bug in Make_PE3.cmd which could cause to collect AIK_Tools as wimgapi.dll from wrong drive @Kullenen_Ask Download new version and don't overwrite existing Make_PE3 folder. So first rename existing Make_PE3 folder and then Extract the download. Hopefully now it will work for you.

In Windows 7 with working soundcard collect the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render\{f36cd2e2-2a57-4081-a8d2-2064695810bc}\Properties] (your guid will differ from mine {f36cd2e2-2a57-4081-a8d2-2064695810bc}) Use these values as described in http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=11081&st=17

UK english can be added in next release .... Shutdown is working for me from Program Menu or Administrator tools menu. No workaround needed.

There was no change in the way imagex and Dism are used as compared to the precvious version of 24 june Or do you make comparison with older version ? When you select your folder with mounted install.wim then imagex.exe is not used for making 7pe_x86.iso In that case Dism.exe from folder AIK_Tools\x86\Dism is used, but that requires newer version 7600 or 7100 of wimgapi.dll which will be present in folder Dism. What is your Windows 7 source (DVD or installed Win 7 or mounted install.wim) and what are you trying to make (pe3 or 7pe) and what is your OS (Win7 or XP) ?

Hi trizet Thanks a lot for your new version of My_7PE.cmd I will have a look at the recent changes and your solution to copy bootmgr from System Reserved. I have also no idea where index=1 of boot.wim is used for. Good to know that index=2 of boot.wim corresponds to winre.wim So I used the right index=2 of boot.wim

winre.wim (index 1) is available in Recovery folder of Installed Windows 7 boot.wim (index 2) is used when 7 Setup DVD drive or folder is used as Source I think boot.wim(index2) = winre.wim(index 1)

Hi Kullenen_Ask You are still allowed to select as Source a folder or drive containing sources\install.wim of 7 Setup DVD (with option 2 and in case of Setup DVD then sources\boot.wim is used + Win7 files of install.wim) or a folder with mounted install.wim and then containing Windows folder (use then option 4 which requires AIK and winpe.wim is used + Windows 7 files) In that respect nothing has changed .... Have a try.

Hi trizet, I will add dsound.dll to the list of required files. For me not necessary, but may be depends on hardware. Probably we need to add also more versions of audio_fix code for different sound devices. Thanks to your approach of using winre.wim as source, now Make_PE3.cmd is working without AIK and with XP or Windows 7 as OS. Also the WLAN Hotfix is no longer needed. So you only need a 32-bits Windows 7 Source. Need to apply the required changes in the AutoIt3 version and then it is ready .... No problems anymore with empty cardreader drive pop-ups by using correct sequence in startnet.cmd

Were the wireless drivers processed by Dism during build ? After booting with pe3_x86.iso you can use Driver Fix from desktop to install the drivers and start WLAN Service. Check in Device Manager if your Network card is installed. See if your netdriver.inf is located in X:\Windows\inf folder. Start PENetwork is neede for Connect and Authentication. Program AddOnns are preferred to be portable and go in PStart menu.

Hi trizet, Thanks for giving me a preview of your batch command. I will test tomorrow and will let you know the result. Cheers, wimb

Thanks jaclaz for reminding me of this usefull tool. I did just an experiment to use as source winre.wim from Recovery folder of Installed Windows 7 source drive. (thanks to trizet and Kullenen_Ask for moving me in this direction) It requires some changes in Make_PE3 but I think we don't need WAIK or Windows 7 setup DVD anymore. To create pe3_x86.iso Boot Image, we only need to collect files from installed Windows 7 source drive, and can make use of winre.wim as found earlier by trizet List of needed files and required registry settings were taken from Make_PE3 package. I had to boot with explorer shell instead of PEShell. Some fixes are needed for WLAN files since the WLAN hotfix was not accepted. Everything else seems to work quite well.

Thanks for your reply. I am looking forward to see your batch program .... At boot-land my work is published here http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10250&st=120 and in 911cd forum here http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=21883&st=60

Hi trizet I am certainly interested in your batch command/registry set which can make use of winre.wim or boot.wim of Setup DVD. If you can translate into English and Upload the program at e.g. MediaFire, that will be very helpful http://www.mediafire.com/ If we can use winre.wim from Recovery folder of Installed Windows 7 source drive, then we even don't need to use Windows 7 Setup DVD at all. We can simply combine winre.wim with files collected from Windows 7 source drive. No need to download and Install AIK and no need to mount install.wim saves a lot of time.

I don't know yet. May be you can find out how to solve the issue. It seems the DirCopy problem on x64 OS is limited to dirs with \Program Files\.....\*.* and may be there is a fix by using something as EnvGet('ProgramW6432') like being used in ElseIf FileExists(EnvGet('ProgramW6432') & '\Windows AIK\Tools') Then $AIK_Tools = EnvGet('ProgramW6432') & '\Windows AIK\Tools' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable @Kullenen_Ask I understand what you mean: Use boot.wim and Dism from Setup DVD and combine with files collected from installed Windows 7 Source drive. Can probably be done this way. Remember that for collecting files of Windows 7 you don't need actually to have WAIK installed. That is already as separate process available (use option 2 or radio button)

You will miss wmi package required to integrate WLAN hotfix with Dism. Using Setup DVD only as source has disadvantage of extra time to mount install.wim I think just downloading and install of WAIK of Windows 7 is most simple and effective solution for everyone available.

The PETools folder with the packages is almost 1 GB and is the main part of the AIK. To collect just the needed packages requires at least once to Install the AIK. I never tried to use the packages and Dism without having AIK installed. It might work, but I don't think it is very usefull. It is not so handy anymore. For Chinese, Japanese and Korean you need the large fontsupport packages. The WAIK for Windows 7 is a free download available for everyone. Not everyone has access to a Windows 7 setup DVD ....

Is it only not functioning for dircopy or does the program not run at all in x64 OS ? I will test again on x64 OS to look for errors ,but Make_PE3.exe was running in x64 OS environment. For other languages such as French, you don't have to modify WIN7_add_explor.txt, WIN7_add_files.txt The program will detect the Distribution Language of the source and find the files as specified by using your DistLang. The INCL Optimize files and EXCLude files PE3_del_files.txt and PE3_del_folders.txt are recorded and specified for en-US only. So these files need to be adapted to the files present in your pe3_x86.iso You can make and use as source a dirlist of all files and folders present in boot.wim You can use manual commands like this: imagex.exe /mountrw C:\winpe3_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim 1 C:\winpe3_x86\mount dir /ad /b /on /s >x86_Fol_boot.txt dir /b /on /s >x86_Fil_boot.txt imagex.exe /unmount C:\winpe3_x86\mount

@ChrisR Thanks for your reply with feedback info and improvements for Make_PE3.au3 Allways using imagex from the folder Make_PE3\Aik_Tools is a good idea since it offers to use a preferred imagex version. _Aiklang Routine to detect the language of AIK is also a good improvement. Then you are sure to find the right language version of winpe-wmi_DistLang.cab file. The next version of Make_PE3 will be Updated accordingly. The present version of Make_PE3.exe will run in both x32 and x64 OS environment. I prefer to have one version of Make_PE3.exe instead of having a separate version for x64 OS. I hope you can confirm that the present program is running in x64 OS. By the way, have you made pe3_amd64.iso with Explorer Shell support and is it working for you ? Is MMC working ? May be some extra registry is needed to make pe3_amd64.iso working with Explorer Shell and MMC, but I don't have at the moment access to x64 Windows 7 I am interested to know how to improve the PE3_reg\amd64 registry files.

*** Update of Make_PE3 package to Create Portable Windows 7 PE *** Solved Language problem in Make_PE3.exe for winpe-wmi_en-us.cab Solved Path errors in Make_PE3.cmd (occurred only on first use) Thanks to trizet and aaaaalex1994 for feedback and making me aware of this hidden error Added Support for Swedish language Required AIK for Windows 7 - KB3AIK_EN.iso - Microsoft - Windows PE 3.0 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=696DD665-9F76-4177-A811-39C26D3B3B34&displaylang=en Dism.exe of AIK must be version 6.1.7600.16385 (earlier version 7000 gives Errors) Guide with More Info: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=21883&st=35 http://www.msfn.org/board/make-program-create-portable-windows-t143529.html Thanks trizet for indicating the place and the cause of the nasty path error in Make_PE3.cmd Please aaaaalex1994 try again with the new version.

@aaaaalex1994 What is the filedate of last version of Make_PE3.cmd with explorer shell working for you ? The filelist of files to be added for explorer was changed after 06-05-2010 You can try to use the latest program version and use it with WIN7_add_explor.txt of previous working version. See folder Make_PE3\PE3_mod\WIN7_add\x86 Also you can try not to boot in vmware, but boot latest pe3_x86.iso direct from real drive. Use BOOT_IMG.exe to install pe3_x86.iso as boot option in grub4dos menu on harddisk or USB-stick. The Dism error with winpe-wmi_en-us.cab package that you described will be present also in previous version of 06-05-2010 Probably this error is not causing your explorer shell problem. I can make in the next version a fix as you have given to correct the Dism wmi language error. @trizet Latest Make_PE3.cmd is working OK here. In Windows 7 or Vista as OS you have to use R-mouse menu and Run Make_PE3.cmd as Administrator. Can you test again and try to describe where the error for you occurs ?
