Hi everyone, Has anyone managed to get a version of Firefox working in the WinPE 2.1 AMD64 architecture. I have tried using a 64 bit distribution of Firefox, but whenever I launch it in WinPE, I get a Side by Side Error???? Is this something to do with how it was complied and missing redistributions for the said complier? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

Hi, Does anyone know how to remove the the checkbox for IPv6 automatically? I know how to disable IPv6 by the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents reg key. But the checkbox is still selected, is there another key that is for this? Thanks

Hello vickerps, If you are using WinPE v2.0 then there is a command to change the language. wpeutil SetKeyboardLayout To set the keyboard for EN-UK, use wpeutil SetKeyboardLayout 0809:00000809

Thanks ZORPHNOG for the alert command. Well I am completely confused by the problem now. As on a AMD64 version of Windows 2003 Server I get the response x86 using the alert command in WPI.HTA I have changed the code to: function getArch() { position="api.js"; whatfunc="getArch()"; return WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"); } So that it only returns the environment variable, but it still thinks it is x86!!! Is there a problem run WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%") in WPI?

OK, so I have tested it a little more. When I run WPI with the additional code in API.js and with the "Condition" added to the config.js for the architecture. I get the following results. :- With "condition" of getArch()=="x86" for 32 bit apps and getArch()=="AMD64" for 64 bit apps. - On x86 machine it will display only 32 bits apps - On AMD64 machine it will display only 32 bits apps and NOT the 64 bit apps. as the changes should do. I have run the extra code standalone and it does return x86 for x86 Architecture system and AMD64 for AMD64 Architecture. So I am a little lost as to why it will not work in WPI. Is there a way of displaying on the main WPI screen what the contents of getArch() is when I launch WPI?

Hummm, first try hasn't worked as planned. On x86, worked exaclty as required, only displayed 32bit apps. (using condition of getArch()=="x86") On AMD64 system only displayed 32bit apps. (using condition of getArch()=="AMD64"). I'll check again later. Any thoughts anyone on WPI riunning on AMD64 windows?

Thanks for the vote of approval. I'll add it in today and let everyone know if it works OK.

Hi, I am looking into adding a "getArch()" function so I get retrieve the CPU architecture (x86 or AMD64). Where is the best place to add the code for this? I was thinking in API.JS, just after "getOSver()". Something like: function getArch() { position="api.js"; whatfunc="getArch()"; var arch=""; try { arch = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"); } catch (ex) {; } if (arch=="x86") return "x86"; if (arch=="AMD64") return "AMD64"; return "Not found"; } What does everyone think, would this work. I am alos looking at doing the same thing for retrieving the Hardware manufacturer, from the BIOS.

Has anyone else tried booting WinPE v2.0 onto IBM Servers through IBM RSA Cards and using the Remote Disk feature. This allows you to connect remotely to the Server and mount the ISO through the Remote Card. The strange thing is that on WinPEV2.0 build 6.0.5536.16385 it works perfectly. You can boot the ISO file and see the Remote Disk within WinPE (e.g. E driver) On WinPEv2.0 build 6.0.6000.16386, I have discovered the problem. You can boot the ISO file and enter WinPE, but it doesn't recongize the Remote Disk that it was booted from within WinPE. This may be the same for HP iLO or RIB cards and SUN RiLO cards, but I haven't tested them. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know were I can get the older version WAIK from, as my PC died and I only have the latest WAIK?

Found it, Was the line NtUpgrade = yes Changed this to no and all is working. Thanks for the quick response and give me the idea to look in the UNATTEND.TXT file.

Thanks again for your help.

All I need to do now is find out why the latest version of WinPE created from the OPK or WAIK will not see a Remote CD mounted from an IBM RSA Card.

Must bizarre, tried it this morning with no luck. Recreated the WinPE on a AMD64 Server and ran the HTA using "mshta.exe x:\\hta-files\\hta-file1.hta" Works a charm. Many thanks to all for your help

Has anyone tried to install Window 2000 Server or Advance Server with WINNT32 using UNATTNED.TXT I have added the ProductID key to the registry so that it now stops saying the it doesn't recognize the version. But now it always says that you cannot upgrade 2000 Professional to Server or Advanced Server. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Br4tt3, When you say the WinPE from BDD, is that the current BDD version that is available now. As I have installed this BDD but it doesn't include WinPE or the WAIK's. When you open the Console for BDD it lists the components that are missing. Then you can select WAIK x86 or WAIK AMD64. Is that how you got WinPE for AMD64, or did you download it from another location?
