Normally Not, not necessarily, but as the project is very young there have been many changes but I hope it is rather not too bad But it is a good stuff to get the latest improvements. I have to publish a new version with all the fixes and improvements, but each time, a new thing comes, like MountPEmedia, check RTM version and I wishes it as stable as possible. I hope to do it really soon. You are right on Update WinPE SE (Exact and Secure) it was not there at the beginning. There have been many changes indeed, also due to a complete rewrite of the macro library by Lancelot, more stable, compatible PE1,2,.,4 and with a lot of usefull new macro. Transparent for users and really useful for developers.

Thanks for your good feedback You're right and I talked with JFX about that, there is just half an hours. We'll add a check at the beginning of the project on the Version of several files to verify that it is indeed a RTM version. Good return on MountPEMedia, I'll take into account to improve it. When developed it sometimes seems obvious and it becomes a little difficult to express clearly. So thanks. Outside clarify things on this, I do not have a good English, Perhaps you can help on this part. you think well and both path should work. Use the download button on wb, it will do it for you but with sometimes few worries. Better, use "Update Win8PE SE (Exact and Secure)" in utils folder, you will have an exact image of the server without having to worry about folder... Edit: you win Lancelot , you press the button before, I did not see your answer Edit2: I looked at the source, one or the other should work

Hi steve6375, If you are trying to build Win8PESE again with Win 8 RTM (If it is the case). I hope There have been many changes since January 2. You can update the project with wb download center or better with "Update Win8PE SE (Exact and Secure)" script in Utils folder. to take advantage of all improvements (An update package should come soon).

Yep, in win7, the archive files was dated at the beginning when I was doing the updates manually on mediafire. Now the archive Win(7)8PE_SE.zip is automatically generated in php on the server and used by another php in the downloads page. I do not know the solution in php to have those dated files, I like also .

Thank you Magic Andre However, there is a problem in the first package in images.script which could prevent the good building The problem is fixed now after downloading the latest version of images configuration Successfully tested "Out of the box" on Xp x86 and Win7 x64. PENetwork was also updated with latest version 58 beta 10, thanks to Holger The package has been updated accordingly. The Ms wimmount driver is always so long to mount images, after a first building (need wimmount installed) you can use once the Extract Wim Folders script in Utils folder to play with Win8pese and have a building more reliable and faster.

Win8PE SE project is based on PE4 environment and will use a Windows 8 (SP0) x86 or x64 DVD. It is better (recommended) to have the DVD copied in a folder on your hard drive. Win8PE SE is Based on the experienced organisation and reliability of Win7PE SE. It comes as a base with only a minimal of applications. Take pleasure to personalize it and to add your components and applications. Link to TechNet Evaluation Center Previous Versions and choose Windows 8 enterprise Or direct link to Windows 8 enterprise evaluation for developers Some advantages of Windows 8 and Win8PE SE: Windows 8 Increased hardware compatibility. Support of UEFI Unified Extensible Firmware Interface and high-speed SSD hard disk. Native support of USB3.0 ... Win8PESE uses the very good Ex7ForW8 (Windows 7 explorer.exe for Windows 8). Thank you Tihiy for this nice work Transparency is enabled on the Aero theme. For the shell loader, You can choose between the great PEShell swapper and the famous Chinese Pecmd. In PostConfig script, you have the ability to create Win8PE SE image in another folder. This will keep the Target folder untouched. With the following advantages: The small green button on scripts remains always operational. No problem on editing hives. Really usefull, you can add, edit, customize the target. Simply recreate the new target image and Iso Only disadvantage, it requires more space on hdd. Win8PESE share scripts with Win7pese and and the great Gena PE1 project A big thanks to the precursors on Win7PESE: Yahoouk's and JFX's. Besides JFX continued help on numerous critical PE3 building cases and on PE4 as with WoW64 (running 32bit programs in a 64bit environment) and other... : Thank you for your help. We are happy to see you around. With a big thank you to all those who have supported and help improve this Win7 base Lancelot, 2aCD, Galapo, Homes32 and ALL other Thank you very much also to sp_star with his good works, beautiful inspiration source A huge thanks to Galapo for the new domain w8pese.cwcodes.net Without forgetting Lancelot with the new Macro Library and his great support Thank you in advance to those who help to improve it. Have fun.

Works well, thanks for the code JFX, In GetWaikTools the files F1_imagex, ... are not renamed or overwritten at the second pass.

hi Homes32, And this NICE tool. You can perhaps use the BBCode

And thank you for the switches to be launched in command line B) GetWaikTools.exe -?

Great, Very usefull tool I have downloaded needed Win7, Vista Waik files and Win8 ADK files in less than 30 seconds

Simply the best PE1 project , thank you very much

Hi Lancelot_Real Happy to see you here my Co-Pilot

Hello everybody , I work for a while on a Project Windows 7 PE and I would like to share, also, this project with you . Tthe project's name is Win7PE_SE and I think to open a topics here

'Open Command here" language fix a better way to 'Open Command here" in any language is just to delete the 2 keys. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd] "Extended"=- [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd] "Extended"=- Nothing more to do, it works in vista or win 7.

My approach is to have a good boot manager to start Make_PE3 or also some great tools (such as Acronis Disk Director) or the normal startup of windows environment. I think it may interresting to have GRUB4DOS in Make_PE3 to make a CD or Usb Rescue (with only the Add of 2 files : menu.lst and grldr). When I say PStart outside the wim file it is also a compilation of other tools available from Make_PE3 or directly from Windows (PnP). Or to add other tools without making wim file to big. Grub4dos in a not iso emulation allows to access to different folder and files included in the iso and not included in the wim file (and without having to create an iso first and then a second for grub4dos). Thank you for -force-uppercase. After having other look at the GRUB4DOS options (Jaclaz Links and other pages), here is a a proposal of GRUB4DOS command line that works well and tthat display my French language (or other) at startup. mkisofs -v -iso-level 4 -l -J -joliet-long -R -volid "Win7PE" -A GRLDR/MKISOFS -sysid "Win32" -b "boot/grldr" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -hide boot.catalog -duplicates-once -o "%PEWork%\7pe_x86.iso" "%PEWork%\ISO" Menu.lst title Boot 7pe_x86 chainloader /Bootmgr thanks for support

I will look at your links, I'm not asked more about the Mkisofs command line because it comes from different WinBuilder projects (Win7PE_SE, Win7rescuePE, VistaPE Leopard...) if grub4dos is selected on which I just add iso-level 4. I'm not a specialist but i'm curious to learn. and mkisofs as so many many option. I turn my question differently, I would like to have grub4dos as boot manager with a non-iso emulation (access to folder and files not included in the wim file) and to display my french Language at boot time using fr-FR\bootmgr.exe.mui. I want also PStart or ASuite on make-PE3 and also when I insert my USB key (PnP) in my windows environment so I have to put Pstart or Asuite in a folder that are not include in the wim file (non iso emùulation). If someone could offer me the correct settings for mkisofs with Grub4dos.

Thanks for your help Your mkisofs command line is for a normal CD with boot sector boot/etfsboot.com. This command line work perfectly and i use the same for a normal CD but don't work for Grub4dos, I use the code comes from different WinBuilder projects on which I add iso-level 4. mkisofs.exe -rdNlDTJ -iso-level 4 -force-uppercase - duplicates-once -joliet-long -hide-joliet-trans-tbl -volid PE7_x86 -eltorito-boot "boot/grldr" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -hide boot.catalog -o "E:\xxx\Make_PE3\win7pe_x86\PE7_x86.iso" "E:\xxx\Make_PE3\win7pe_x86\ISO" A beginning of explanation, with this code without iso-level 4 all the file or folder with "-" is converted to "_" (en-US to en_US, fr-FR to fr_FR, ...). This in ISO and Rock-Ridge format it's OK in Joliet. At boot time he can't find boot\fr-FR\bootmgr.exe.mui to display french Language ! I don't Know why this character conversion ? I think to continue with my command line and iso-level 4 for grub4dos boot manager. 7PE-x86.iso work perfectly in my French language.

Do you mean iso level 4 is not a good solution ? in winsxs with searchstring _fr-fr_ i don't found differences in x86_microsoft-windows-b..ager-pcat.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_fr-fr_c1daf2c27a3d980d.manifest x86_microsoft-windows-b..ager-pcat.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_fr-fr_c1daf2c27a3d980d x86_microsoft-windows-b..nment-pxe.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_fr-fr_5b6f13099c5b5496.manifest x86_microsoft-windows-b..nment-pxe.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_fr-fr_5b6f13099c5b5496

To See My French language in the start of PE7_x86.iso with grub4dos windows is loading files -- > windows charge les fichiers starting windows -- > démarrage de windows For grub4dos I add the 2 files root\menu.lst and root\boot\grldr 1) grub4dos with ISO emulation (as Wimb proposed) Menu.lst title Boot 7pe_x86.iso find --set-root --ignore-floppies /7pe_x86.iso map /7pe_x86.iso (0xff) map --hook root (0xff) chainloader (0xff)/BOOTMGR I make Iso with mkisofs everything will work OK mkisofs.exe -rdNlDTJ -force-uppercase - duplicates-once -joliet-long -hide-joliet-trans-tbl -volid PE7_x86 -eltorito-boot "boot/grldr" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -hide boot.catalog -o "E:\xxx\Make_PE3\win7pe_x86\PE7_x86.iso" "E:\xxx\Make_PE3\win7pe_x86\ISO" 2) grub4dos non ISO with every folder : boot, source, and other folder not in wim file Menu.lst title Boot 7pe_x86 chainloader /Bootmgr If i make Iso with this mkisofs command it's OK but the text "windows is loading files" stay in english. mkisofs.exe -rdNlDTJ -force-uppercase - duplicates-once -joliet-long -hide-joliet-trans-tbl -volid PE7_x86 -eltorito-boot "boot/grldr" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -hide boot.catalog -o "E:\xxx\Make_PE3\win7pe_x86\PE7_x86.iso" "E:\xxx\Make_PE3\win7pe_x86\ISO" If i make Iso with this mkisofs command ( same with -iso-level 4 option) it's OK and i have the text in french "windows charge les fichiers". mkisofs.exe -rdNlDTJ -iso-level 4 -force-uppercase - duplicates-once -joliet-long -hide-joliet-trans-tbl -volid PE7_x86 -eltorito-boot "boot/grldr" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -hide boot.catalog -o "E:\xxx\Make_PE3\win7pe_x86\PE7_x86.iso" "E:\xxx\Make_PE3\win7pe_x86\ISO"

Indeed, I works on Make_PE3 in version 32 bits in an Windows 7 64 bits environment (With a copy of a DVD Windows 7 32 bits). It's work well. The use of bcdedit with the variable $Arch is a proposition of a small correction to Make_PE3.au3, because bcdedit is copy in this program with the same variable $Arch in the folder $Aik_tools I will try your tip to use grub4dos with an ISO emulation to correct the language when 7pe_x86.iso start. I don't know the difference with gub4dos with an emulation not iso ? Sorry for my english and thank's for your help

Hi Wimb, Make_PE3 is becoming more and more beautiful and complete. Thank you for and also to other who helps you to improve it. To See My French language in the start of PE7_x86.iso windows is loading files -- > windows charge les fichiers starting windows -- > démarrage de windows with the variable $Parch = amd64 and $Arch = x86 bcdedit is copied in Aik_tools\x86 and to changed the locale language with it, I changed in the following code $Parch by $Arch If $bcdlang <> "en-US" And FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\AIK_Tools\" & $Arch & "\" & "bcdedit.exe") Then $bcdedit = @ScriptDir & "\AIK_Tools\" & $Arch & "\" & "bcdedit.exe" RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $bcdedit & " /store " _ & '"' & $PEWork & "\ISO\boot\bcd" & '"' & " /set {default} locale " & $bcdlang, $AIK_Tools & "\" & $Arch, @SW_HIDE) RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $bcdedit & " /store " _ & '"' & $PEWork & "\ISO\boot\bcd" & '"' & " /set {bootmgr} locale " & $bcdlang, $AIK_Tools & "\" & $Arch, @SW_HIDE) RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $bcdedit & " /store " _ & '"' & $PEWork & "\ISO\boot\bcd" & '"' & " /set {memdiag} locale " & $bcdlang, $AIK_Tools & "\" & $Arch, @SW_HIDE) EndIf It works fine for text in french at the startup of 7PE_x86.iso. By cons, if I start PE7 with grub4dos (chainloader /Bootmgr) the text "Windows is loading files" stay in English ??? any idea to translate it with grub4dos

Me and other uses install.wim from win7 setup DVD and it works. My computer is in 64bit and i use make_pe3 to built a x86 versions It's maybe a good thing if we can build Pe3 whithout waik. @wimb what about post # 97 and issue in dircopy when using a computer in 64bit.

Kullenen_Ask This interests me also with boot.wim from windows 7 source, it is ok for imagex, DISM ?

@wimb OK, thanks for the tips

@wimb the program Make_PE3.exe seems to work fine in x64 but some functions will not run properly (dircopy maybe other). for example, files for Internet Explorer does not copy in the folder Make_PE3\PE3_mod\WIN7_add\x86\Program Files\Internet Explorer @jfx_ yes i put $PETools in global variable ; Setting variables Global $w7drive="C:", $TargetDrive="", $ProgressAll, $Paused, $g4d_vista=0, $mk_bcd=0, $ntfs_bs=1, $bs_valid=0, $PETools
