There are concerns, in particular with explorer shell, the start menu and taskbar due to changes made by MS, that wants to get rid of them. Important: Always Check Win8PE SE topic post 1 to get latest updates and informations.

No I tried with the preview and now with 8.1 RTM There are some problems with explorer and the system account especially the taskbar that is locked. also, Ex7forW8 does not work in 8.1, by cons, StartIsBack+ works well but with the same concern for the taskbar. For information, we have nearly the same problem with explorer (a little better in PE) and the system account in the true Win8.1. To test it, Kill explorer and then launch PsExec.exe -i -d -s explorer.exe It could be a challenge for a guy like Tihiy or others Currently, with 8.1 RTM, it could work with BsExplorer as shell, or with ObjectDock and SIB+ But until there is no solution for Explorer, I do not see the interest compared to Win8PESE (with win8 RTM) or Win7PESE. I am at an impasse for now and so I have not looked further for other concerns.

Since we are in the acknowledgments, BIG Thanks to The Great Lancelot, for all the help, support, knowledge and work done on PE for years. I added a control on the successful integration of drivers sought in setupapi.offline.log. In case of Failure, a warning message is displayed with the number of error and written to the log. If needed, there is allready a checkbox 'pause', to keep on screen the dism result. The Driver Integration script is on server.

a return trip, without spam As I said above, it is really great to see wimlib, I take my hat and I would be happy to get rid of Waik/ADK Tools but unfortunately there are some limitations which prevent me to look at it more closely in this project. Chris

Wimlib is an excelent initiative and a great challenge (ps: the link to http://sourceforge.net/projects/wimlib/ is enough ). with each windows version (Win7, 8, 8.1) there is some changes in the wim format. although I appreciate this initiative, I think that it is safer for the moment to use MS Waik/ADK Tools in this type of project. I use the great JFX's GetWaikTools to download only the needed tools (~6/10 Mb) and not the full Waik or ADK. http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=287.0 http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/156869-get-waik-tools-wo-downloading-the-huge-isos/ Also, from wimlib Documentation http://wimlib.sourceforge.net/ wimlib Limitations wimlib does not provide a clone of the PEImg tool, or the Dism functionality other than that already present in ImageX, that allows you to make certain Windows-specific modifications to a Windows PE image, such as adding a driver or Windows component. Such a tool could be implemented on top of wimlib. In win7(8)pese, I need some of these missing features, like /Add-Driver, /Add-Package, /Enable-Feature and others in addition to Mount, Capture, Unmount... So I can not, I do not take

I have not had much feedback on DirMove errors, but this is not the first one to be safer, it is indeed perhaps good to use a distributable 3rd party (Yes), when I have free time, there is no emergency. I mostly know Olof Lagerkvist for its great imdisk : strarc does not seem to have any Move option but it could be done with Copy + if success cmd.exe,"/C rd /s /q Sourcedir" it is an option It can also be done on the principle of the Call,DirCopy that has been done previously I will remember for free time ps: Robocopy was the faster to write for me to do a simple test;) , gotenks98 found the reason before Yep, It is a good option to display a warning in the log, I like the idea :, but unfortunately with the dism.exe.mui resource file it is difficult to get the return code (by using tee.exe) for each driver (Error : 2 or in french Erreur: 2 or ...) dism.log is difficult to read, already for human eyes By cons it could be done more easily with setupapi.offline.log by searching "<<< [Exit status: FAILURE" I'll see, thanks

Good that you found the reason, good research to see where the problem lies I was in the process of changing the script to use Robocopy sourcedir destdir /MOVE /MIR /FFT instead of the WB DirMove command. if you need, tell me, I can go on, it is maybe safer and we can have the log on screen About AV: I do not think necessarily has an x-ware or a false positive, but at a timeout issue which could be related. Good continuation

Hi gotenks98, I do not really know, difficult to know why it blocks on a simple DirMove command, it runs on those just before, Maybe AV related! In this step, error in postconfig, you do not need to rebuild the whole project, in Final\PostConfig uses the "Create new Target Image and ISO" button. Maybe try without your AV or add an exception on your Win8pese base folder. Not great but I do not know how to help you.
