I'm having an issue making changes within wimb's Make_PE3 utility.
It's not that I don't understand how to make changes per se, it's that they aren't being transfered over to my image when I boot the ISO.
Following the discussion in this thread, I'm trying to get a few features to run automatically on boot (such as initializaion of network support). I understand how to do that - in theory. wimb has all ready provided support via startnet.cmd, parts of it just need to be uncommented. I get that part. Here's what happens.
(building on an x86 system for reference)
\Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\x86\Windows\System32\startnet.cmd
Edit that file to remove the comment infront of line 16 (double colon) - so that driver_fix.cmd is called when startnet.cmd runs.
start "Driver Fix PE3 - Wait ...." /wait "%SystemRoot%\System32\driver_fix.cmd"
Run Make_PE3.exe to create ISO.
When I boot the ISO, startnet.cmd does not call driver_fix.cmd. Looking at the file, line 16 has had it's comments (double colon) put back in - just as if I had never made the changes.
This also happens with other files I'm trying to edit, such as winpeshl.ini.
I thought maybe it was grabbing a different architecture for some reason, so I editted al 3 iterations of startnet.cmd (\Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\ia64 & \Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\amd64) - but that didn't help either. (The .iso that's created is pe3_x86.iso). When I look at the modified date of startnet.cmd on the .iso it is May 20, 2010 8:29pm - even though all of my local files have a modified date of today (June 3, 2011). I have no clue where it's pulling that file from when the .iso is created.
I hope that is an accurate enough problem description to work with. What am I doing wrong?
Other info that may or may not be helpful:
Booting using GRUB4DOS directly from the .iso.
The process seems to work fine otherwise, just unable to get changes to appear on the .iso

You're right, there is no underscore in startnet.cmd, my mistake.
I have Make_PE3 version 3.3. I got it on May 26th - seemed pretty current, but honstly don't remember what site it was from.
Will try a fresh DL and see if that fixes it.
Edit:
I dug through my history and found where I got that version.
Found a link to this file linked on this page (Step 2 in the Windows 7 section)
