[Using VB6 compiled applications in winPE]

You need also the runtime licenses for the VB controls. Export them on a system with Visual Studio 6 and add it to WinPE.

they are stored in HKLM\Software\Classes\Licenses (or also available in a reg file on the CD media you got with Visual Studio.)

[Not Happy With The New Winpe 2005 (win2k3 Sp1)]

Had the same problem, but I had an other solution to solve it.

In my WinPE 2004 version I copied also the file NTVDM.EXE (virtual DOS machine). This file I had to remove and the bluescreen was away.

It's silly because the ntvdm.exe is not listed in the KNOWN Dll key.

[Fdisk type utility for WinPE]

If you like to have a graphical interface, you can use the diskmanagement snapin.

It works well.

[WMI couln't be started]

Hi all,

I have problems using WMI on WinPE 2004. I have added WMI support with the /WMI switch.

- In WinPE, If I try the wbemtest.exe and try to connect to the root/default namespace I'm getting an error:

"Number: 0x80080005

Facility: Windows

Description: Server execution failed"

- The same is if I try to start the winmgmt service with "net start winmgmt". I'm getting "the service could not be started"

- The VBS example from the WinPE help file is also not listen any objects etc.

Question:

- did anybody have similar problems?

- Is anybody using WMI without problems, if yes, did he something special?

- Any idea?

thanks
