Is it interesting to add Windows Media Player support to Make_PE3 ? Do you have some info on needed registry settings and extra files ? And what is coming next ? Java ....

Preview: Make_PE3 - Wireless Internet IE8 + Audio working OK for Realtek Soundcard AudioActivatorPE.exe is not compatible with my Realtek Soundcard. Solution: In PE3 Install all drivers by running PnPutil - X:\WINDOWS\system32\PnPutil.exe -i -a X:\Windows\inf\*.inf Remove from registry the SPDIF related entry in key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render so that Speakers are becoming Default for Audio playback and SPDIF icon is removed from Sound playback selector In Speakers Properties entry add the three extra (missing) lines from Windows 7 registry using PE3 GUID as installed by PnPutil Run audio.bat to Activate (red cross in sound icon disappears) Win PE3 Speakers Properties - Registry tweak for Realtek HD Audio - use your GUID instead of {1f14c1c7-586f-4fd0-9e83-978f051577b1} Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render\{1f14c1c7-586f-4fd0-9e83-978f051577b1}\Properties] "{f19f064d-082c-4e27-bc73-6882a1bb8e4c},0"=hex:41,00,20,74,01,00,00,00,fe,ff,\ 02,00,44,ac,00,00,10,b1,02,00,04,00,10,00,16,00,10,00,03,00,00,00,01,00,00,\ 00,00,00,10,00,80,00,00,aa,00,38,9b,71 "{e4870e26-3cc5-4cd2-ba46-ca0a9a70ed04},0"=hex:41,00,20,74,01,00,00,00,fe,ff,\ 02,00,44,ac,00,00,20,62,05,00,08,00,20,00,16,00,20,00,03,00,00,00,03,00,00,\ 00,00,00,10,00,80,00,00,aa,00,38,9b,71 "{e4870e26-3cc5-4cd2-ba46-ca0a9a70ed04},1"=hex:41,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,d3,8c,\ 01,00,00,00,00,00 audio.bat NET STOP Audiosrv NET START Audiosrv In fact it is the procedure as described by NewBSOD but carried out manually instead of using AudioActivatorPE.exe http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6688&st=130&p=64383entry64383 Next version of Make_PE3 will have automated Audio support ..... - Size of ISO Boot Image = 240 MB

Make_PE3 program will create PE with WMIC support.

@ludo @Kullenen_Ask Do you have a list of the extra files and registry settings of Windows 7, needed to add audio support to Make_PE3 ?

My size of boot.wim of PE3 with Explorer and IE8 support is only 194 MB. What did you add to get such large size of 788 MB and why should you do that ? It is better not adding programs to the build pe3_x86.iso but to use portable programs from outside of the ISO and launched from PStart Menu. In this way you have faster booting and use less RAM and the portable programs can be used on any occasion also when not booting e.g. from USB-stick.

In next version I will add Spanish as Option.

IE8 is working for me. What are exactly the required registry changes that make IE8 work for you and the command that you used is may be regsvr32 "X:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll" Can you also give the registry tweak to get Manage at right click at my computer working. Your clid.reg contains too many Turkish names in the context menu.

Is everything working OK for you ? No problems with Source Language anymore ? Is MS Paint working (for me not) ?

Added these files but MS Paint is not working yet Procmon shows that all necessary files are loaded. I assume there is something with the registry. May be yours is working because of other language settings ....

Thanks for the link to Procmon.exe I did use Dependency Walker, but will try to use Procmon I checked and the required files exist, but MS Paint does not work yet for me ... Need more study.

I think so Try to build with Explorer Shell Selected, then you get the answer.

For screenshots I am using portable program FSCapture from PStart Menu. FSCapture can be used in any Windows environment.

@Kullenen_Ask As we need to add mspaint.exe to get Photo Viewer working, it would be nice if MS Paint can be used as well, but it does not work ... What program have you used to determine the files that are needed to make Photo Viewer work OK ? Do you have a solution for MS Paint ?

Yes, I used Photo Viewer with Explorer Shell. But it might be that BS Explorer can be used as well.

Optimize_explor.txt is the last step of the build and applied just before Unmount and Commit changes in boot.wim This file is composed of all files in the build, but Optimization was manually applied to 4 folders to Reduce Size: \Windows\winsxs \Windows\fonts \Windows\servicing \Windows\system32\wbem In this way we can keep all drivers and keyboard files, but of course you can remove any unwanted files. In fact Optimize_explor.txt is the list of files you want to keep in the build. Optimize_explor.txt includes the files of Make_PE3\PE3_mod\WIN7_add\x86 folder and other custom files of Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\x86 You get an idea of the build process by studying the readable Make_PE3.cmd file and by reading the Guide. Additional Info on the boot process sequence is given in file Customize_Info.txt

You can edit the files Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\x86\Optimize_Profile.txt and Optimize_explor.txt and remove the files that you don't want to keep in the build. Then you can apply in Make_PE3.exe the option Reduce Size ( = Optimize) to build the pe3_x86.iso file. I think this may be sufficient to get rid of unwanted files like different language folders and keyboards you don't need.

Very Good ! Everything is working now and I will add Windows Photo Viewer support to Make_PE3. B) Just working on Source Language support and then everything will be more perfect .... Thanks for your Help and Cheers

I tried PhotoViewer as proposed but it did not work for me. Additionally adding \Windows\System32\d3d8thk.dll helps to let PhotoViewer Window Open, but the picture will not load ..... Do you have a solution ?

Thanks for testing. Good that mmc is working now with Turkish files. That means that I know now how to support Windows 7 source with non en-US language. I will make necessary changes in next version of Make_PE3. Your clid.reg contains some Turkish naming which appear e.g. in context menu as IrfanView ile Gözat. I think I can manage to make proper clid.reg

Thanks for the two hotfiles. IE8 is running well in pe3_x86.iso when using Explorer Shell. In the next version I will add IE8 support to Make_PE3 Replacing in clid.reg "all 43,00,3a,00,5c,00 were by 58,00,3a,00,5c,00" means that hexcode for C:\ is replaced by X:\ (C is hex 43 and X is hex 58). Is mmc working now for you ? I would like to know if proposed changes are working before I implement them in the program. I only have en-US 32-bits version of Windows 7, so I cannot test language influence here. The location of the wireless hotfix can be changed probably in the program to WinPE_FPs Selecting the TargetDrive for Install of PE3 ISO in GRUB4DOS menu, means in fact that you ask me to make such boot option and to add GRUB4DOS grldr to the TargetDrive. I think this is clearly indicated in the program, but no one is forced to use this option (move your mouse over button to read Tip Info). However, booting with pe3_x86.iso from GRUB4DOS menu on HDD or USB-stick is fast and convenient and preferred by me. The other requests I will consider and implement if possible. Cheers, wimb

To solve the mmc problem, you might additionally need in Make_PE3\PE3_mod\WIN7_add\x86\WIN7_add_files.txt and WIN7_add_explor.txt to change en-US in tr-TR so that the program will find your Windows 7 source files. May be for some entries you need to keep en-US Check for occurrence of files in source. And create in AIK folder WinPE_FPs\en-us folder with file winpe-wmi_en-us.cab renamed from Turkish version as you did already. Please report if such build solves your problem, then I can make necessary changes in the program. Thanks for your help.

Yes, you can use now also mounted install.wim files as source for collecting Windows 7 files. The build with Chineese font + BS Explorer amounts to 228 MB (No Optimize of course). The build with Explorer shell was optimized and has size 203 MB (BS Explorer + optimize is 160 MB) More sreenshots you can find in the Guide with info (the link of my signature) At the moment I am using Portable Opera as internet browser and are quite happy with this portable program. I prefer to keep most programs portable, so that the ISO is as small as possible, which is good for fast booting. Moreover, the portable programs can also be used from PStart Menu e.g. from USB stick, when NOT booting with the ISO.

You can try to use Make_PE3.exe to create and boot with pe3_x86.iso In PE3 you can install ImDisk driver and then mount your XP Setup ISO in a virtual drive by using R-mouse Menu. Then you can run USB_XP_Setup.exe to Format and prepare your Target Drive for Install of XP. More Info: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=21883&st=35
