Hi, I have almost the same problem, i am working on an windows deployment system that users can operate themselves, after Windows PE is booted an hta app is launched wich connect's to a sql server and fetches the possible options and puts them in a pull down menu, after the user has made a selection a new pull down menu is created using again a sql query on the server. I have tesed it on a windows XP - windows 2003 server combination and it worked great. But when i run the script on Windows PE the pull down menu's are missing. Becouse Windows PE does't have a debugging feature installed, i cannot see what went wrong. I contacted Ms about this on ther system buider newsgroup site. Someone from Microsoft helped me and mailed me a new version of the 'buildoptionalcomponents.vbs' file but that did't help much. finally he send me the following: --- Hi Koen: I spoke with dev. about your problem, and apparently there is bug with using HTA and ADO directly. Unfortunately, they have not been able to find the root-cause of the problem. Their suggestion was to write a VB or C++ application which displays the UI that you want, and then query the SQL server using the ADO components; That's the only way around the problem at the current time. I know this is not the answer you were hoping for tho --- Nice huh, lets wait for an updated version of Windows PE... Gr, Koen.
