I should be in the *Winperoot*\windows\system32\winpeshl.ini

Still having no luck with this image. Anyone else have any ideas?

There are no options in the BIOS to disable USB. Maybe I need to add drivers for all the USB devices? hmm

I have a sysprep image created on an older laptop that I use as a build machine. When this image is loaded on a newer machine, setup hangs about 30 seconds into mini-setup. This image is just a stripped down XP SP3 image that I just want to get around the problem. I've attached the seutpapi.log file but i'm not sure how to properly read the error. Can someone have a look at it and maybe give me an idea as to what the problem is? Thanks Everyone! Setuplog.zip

james, When you figure it out you can post a tutorial for the next person that needs it

What exactly is the question? You can use Visual Basic 6 programs in WinPE because they do no require the .NET framework.

Thanks Jazkal. I'll check it out. What is everyone else using?

Just curious as to which language/compiler do you use to build a 64-bit tool/app for WinPE 2.1 64-bit?

Here is another one. DataRecovery tool Test disk http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Main_Page

Here is mine This is on a Toshiba Tecra A7 Laptop

Solved my problem. Moved OEMinformation section from oobe to specialize pass.

I'm testing unattended install of Vista and I can't get my logo to show in System Properties nor will it show any of the support information or website link.

i'm setting up a custom WinPE setup (WinPE 2005). I used mkimg to make the source and modified it with the needed drivers. How do I use oscdimg to make the ISO bootable? Well basically i just need to know how to make/get the etfsboot.com file. Thanks

I'm trying to build a custom WinPE and i getting an error. I'm following the MS steps (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;zh-cn;303891&sd=tech) and I get an error during mkimg.cmd. The Error is: Error in Copying (2) : C:\path\winpeshl.exe -> c:\path\i386\system32\winpeshl.exe 1258 files were copied from the 1259 files. Failed to copy all the required files for WinPE. Any one have an idea what's going on?

Some burners are just picky about which media they use. I have found DVD-R & DVD-RW discs (Cheapo disk to name brand discs) to be the most stable between a wide variety of systems (as long as your burner supports DVD-R/-RW). Check to see if there is a firmware update available for your burner. I'd also suggest trying a different brand of media.

Bump

dude it took you longer to complain then to do a little research yourself. Hit up google! http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=How+Do...le+Search&meta=

Hey guys, I've customized by WinPE Cd to support SATA devices and new Intel NICs. When it loads up the network drivers i get the following error: Could not load the installer for ports. Check with your manufacturer WinPE waits with that screen up. I have to manually click the OK proceed. I'm using the latest driver set from intel.com. Has anyone seen this error? Thanks,

Dude sorry i can't help you but you might want to edit your post and remove the productkey and maybe the encrypted password.

Hey guys, I'm doing an XP Home edition image right now. I'm install a few drivers via cmdlines.txt. How do I force windows to reboot after cmdlines.txt? Usually my images reboot after cmdlines.txt but this image just runs cmdlines and then logs into windows without a reboot. any ideas?

Hey guys, Here's my situation. I'm trying to install the driver for a Intel Wireless card and i'm having a problem. The image is already deployed and i want to do a 'silent' install of the driver through the RUNONCE reg key. The problem the New hardware wizard comes up and blocks my installation. I have to minize the installer, close the new hardware window, and then my installation continues. Any one have any insight on this? Anyway to close that device manager window? Thanks, Eric

Automated of course. Could you give me an example for both?

Ok, but how do I cancel hardware detection?

I'm not trying to do this during a setup. I'm trying to 'push' the driver to the machine but before windows pops up the 'hardware detected' window. Does RunOneEx run before hardware detection? Thanks

This isn't quite related to an unattended install but I was wondering if anyone had any insight. We are pushing a driver install to a laptop (it's a intel wireless lan driver). It is being done via logon script. The driver install is an installsheild install (setup /s /sms) but the installation hangs because the hardware detection window is open in the background. If the user isn't sitting at the machine at the time then the install hangs there till the window is closed Anyone have any ideas? I like to install the driver even before the hardware detection windows shows up. (force install) Thanks guys.
