As we say in French : "oups, toutes mes excuses, j'avais pas vu" I thought it was a special CD, like windows PE, or something like that. edit : I was wondering how to install this driver...hum, .inf files are a very good thing. edit 2 : I forgot to say "thanks"... edit 3 : I read what I found about using .inf files, and I used rundll32 to execute the inf file...but when I try to execute saprep, it says "Starting Server Appliance Preparation....failed to load DLL:srvprep.dll". Did I forget something? edit 5 : oh, well, I found this : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=16824&st=0 Eh, it seems to be harder than I thought...

How unlucky I am It would be the best thing to use, but we don't have this Appliance kit, I don't know why. It would have been for sure the best software for me, but I don't have it. Hum, good morning CuBie, how are you? You said me you love programming, no?

That's ok, you take all the time you want, I didn't hope someone could do something like that, so I won't say anything if you take even more than one month to do it Just to say that I'm in France, and I stop working in less than two hours. I'm back monday morning : you don't need to do it now! (I mean, I will not be fired if I don't do this today...I need to improve my English skills) You can wait the next week....I don't want to "force" you!

Oh, well, it would be just perfect if it works under PE, but I can't send you money! If you can do it, and if it doesn't take you too much time, I would be very glad....thanks a lot! edit : it's just a program that blocks the keyboard and the mouse. I don't know if it's hard to do... edit 2 : eh, speaking English forbids me to say how glad I am, it would be easier in French

That's strange, I had the same error and logging as local administrator solved the problem. Did you try to build Windows PE directly from the Win XP CD? I tried to do what you do (XP on the hard drive) but I had lots of problems.

Thanks for your help, but installing doesn't work. I'm going to look for an other solution that doesn't use this exe!

No, it doesn't work....but thanks for your help and the time you spend for me edit : oh, someone in my office has found the source code (hum, is it an English word? I'm not sure...), I'm looking at it. edit2 : no, I would spend too much time to write something in it...

I downloaded the files, put them in system32...and now I'm waiting. I come back as soon as I see if it works or not.

Thanks for your answer, but moving the files doesn't do anything : same results! Edit : I'm watching the files to know if something else is needed, but it seems that there is only the exe and dll files.

Hello, after booting my PE from a RIS server, I add scripting to PE without a problem : regsvr32 works fine for all the DLL's I need, and launching cscript "hello.vbs" gives me a wonderfull msgbox I need to add an executable file that comes with a DLL file (noinput.exe and noinput.dll, something to block the keyboard and the mouse). I put the exe and dll in the "system32" directory. When I try to launch directly noinput.exe, it says "the system cannot find the file specified" or something like that. Well, I do the regsvr32 noinput.dll....but I have an error : "noinput.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. The file cannot be registered". I don't understand why it doesn't work : the dll files for scripting are registered, but this file doesn't want... I don't find really interesting things on the net (the microsoft website itself didn't give me any interesting result : I found my error message, but nothing interesting to avoid it). I found someone who had the same problem (http://forums.aspfree.com/t21741/s.html) but I can't change the dll code, and regasm doesn't exist...Oh, I found this too : http://forums.devshed.com/archive/t-29188. Is there anything related with these "activeX dll's"??? edit : lots of people had this message, but I cvan't find anything that works for me... Thanks!

It's available for big firms too. I work in a firm that runs Windows only, and we have the "official" Windows PE. For people who cannot have this version, you can use BartPE.

I posted on the Microsoft newsgroups...and I have the solution. Here is the answer : Hi Romain: Thanks for your posting. If you have the SP1 version of the OPK, then adding scripting support is much simpler. On the OPKTools (WinPE) CD, there is a VBS script that can be run on the machine you use to create your winpe images. BUILDOPTIONALCOMPONENTS.VBS. You can use it to add Scripting support, database (ADO) connectivity support and HTA (HTML for applications) support. The syntax is: BUILDOPTIONALCOMPONENTS.VBS /s:(OS_CDROM) /d:(destination_dir) /WSH (or /ADO or /HTA) /s: points to the source drive letter where the OS CD rom is located (XP Pro SP1 OS or better) /d: points to the destination "root" destination directory where the winpe image is stored (e.g. the same folder name as used with MKIMG) There is a batch file that needs to be added to (winpe_image)\i386\system32\STARTNET.CMD. It's called OC.BAT, so you can add using: STARTNET.CMD --------------------------- CALL OC.BAT <---- registers dlls for scripting host (etc) Regards, Todd~SBST That was easy....but I didn't fond any doc about this. Maybe I searched in the wrong places. Edit : it works perfectly...I'm waiting for the next problem

Oh, that's strange! It works now....but I don't know why I installed the dll files just as said in my docs. It didn't work. I downloaded the French version of the script engine (installation of my dll files, but in a different way...). I had some errors...I tried to modify some files, but it didn't change anything. So I dowloaded the English version of the script engine....and it works. That's strange : I don't have any error whith it, I don't understand. My server is a French version of Win Server 2003, and it works only with the English script engine....it's the same for my PE. Well, I'm very happy to see it works, I've spent lots of time on this. Thanks everybody for the help!

I posted all around the net (hum, not "all around" but I posted some questions on several websites), but I don't have any answer....I'll try to post on the Microsoft newgroups in English : my posts on the French newsgroups don't give me anything. edit : I forgot to say that my PE boots from a RIS server...I don't know if it changes anything.

Ok, I've found the script engine on the MS website...I understand a little better the problem. edit : hum, it seems this script engine contains exactly the same dll's I previously installed on Win PE... Now I have an other problem (it refuses to install) but I think it would be off-topic Thanks a lot!

Oh, it seems I forgot something...I don't find anything about things like this in my docs. I just have these instructions : " 1. Copy the contents of the WINPE folder from the Tools CD to your WinPE source folder, say c:\WINPE. 2. Copy the following DLL’s and OCX files from the Windows XP HOME/ PRO cd into your WINPE folder. vbscript.dll, scrrun.dll, cscript.exe, wscript.exe, wshext.dll, wshom.ocx, dispex.dll, jscript.dll. 3. For localized support, I assume that wshext.dll is the only localized file. It also helps to use the localized versions for all these files. (I should be trying this later). 4. Modify the extra.inf file in the WINPE folder, in order to copy these extra files into the WINPE CD. (for detailed information on the extra.inf file format, please refer to the customizing WINPE whitepaper. [ExtraFiles.x86] …… ….. vbscript.dll=1,,,,,,,,0,0,,1,2 scrrun.dll=1,,,,,,,,0,0,,1,2 cscript.exe=1,,,,,,,,0,0,,1,2 wscript.exe=1,,,,,,,,0,0,,1,2 wshext.dll=1,,,,,,,,0,0,,1,2 wshom.ocx=1,,,,,,,,0,0,,1,2 dispex.dll=1,,,,,,,,0,0,,1,2 jscript.dll=1,,,,,,,,0,0,,1,2 <Please note that I have also copied over my scripting files> recscript.vbs=1,,,,,,,,0,0,,1,2 script.vbs=1,,,,,,,,0,0,,1,2 4. Modify the config.inf to make sure that the appropriate registry keys are populated. (All the INF files are in the attached Zip File.) Make sure to copy the script.inf and scriptkey.inf to the c:\WINPE folder. ; Please note that I have added script.inf ; [Add Registry New] software = .\hivesft.inf,AddReg,.\hivecls.inf,AddReg,.\script.inf,AddReg default = .\hivedef.inf,AddReg ; ; Please note that I have added scriptkey.inf ; [Add Registry Existing] setupreg.hiv = .\winpesys.inf,AddReg software = .\winpesft.inf,AddReg,.\scriptkey.inf,AddReg default = .\winpedef.inf,AddReg 5. Modify the startnet.cmd to have the following entries. These are needed in order to register the Scripting Dll’s. REM If there is no networking support, you can skip the netcfgx.dll regsvr32 /s netcfgx.dll regsvr32 /s dispex.dll regsvr32 /s jscript.dll regsvr32 /s scrrun.dll regsvr32 /s vbscript.dll regsvr32 /s wshext.dll regsvr32 /s wshom.ocx REM I’m launching the CMDLINE scripting exe. cscript.exe recscript.vbs " I followed these steps, excepting the things related to .inf files....I think there's something wrong, because there is no reference to the "script engine". Could you say me where I can find doc about the script engine, please? I really don't know where I can search for this. I'm only a beginner in things like that. I've found the solution for PE build with BartPE, but not with the official release. Thanks!

Hello, I'd like to run some scripts written in vbs under Windows PE....I followed a small tutorial, but I have still problems. I've all the files I need, I use regsrv32 to register the dll/ocx files, but...I don't know how to modify the registry keys. Cscript and wscript are recognized, but I have an error message saying that "there isn't script engine for ".vbs" files". Anyone to help? Thanks! PS : I work on the "official" Microsoft Windows PE.
