    Install Windows x64 with BartPE and WinPE - How To

    in Windows PE

    Posted

    When you start an install with syspart and makelocalsource, does it leave the local source files on the drive after setup has completed? Where does it leave them?

    No, just as Windows setup does not.

    Does it set the registry values to point to the local source as the SourcePath, or does it still refer to the CD?

    It still refers to the CD. I use a .REG file to change the source to a network share on my installations.

    After you run winnt32.exe from the PE environment and reboot (to start text setup from the HDD), do you need the CD anymore? Or can it be removed from the cd rom drive?

    Once the ManualWindowsSetup.EXE program exits, the CD is no longer needed and can be removed at any time thereafter.

    FYI, my scripts reboot the system after ManualWindowsSetup.EXE finishes. I use a bootable CD with the "Press any key to boot from CD" patch, so I don't need to be around to eject the disk.

    I tried your program and the only thing I had a problem with is that your program requires a OEMFilesPath= in the unattend where as MS seems to indicate its optional.

    Since my $OEM$ folders are under the /platform folder, I've never specified them with a OEMFilesPath=

    Otherwise, a nice program.

    Thank you, and you are correct. As a workaround, you can specify an empty folder for OEMFilesPath. I'll fix this in the next release.

    This tool has been updated to version 2.0.

    Changes are:

    -- Program is now a native Windows 32-bit application. Windows scripting host is no longer required.

    -- Enhanced logging and output options

    -- Bootsector file is now automatically generated and works on any hard drive. (Fixed reboot and freeze problems)

    -- Fixed a bug where boot.ini file always referenced C: even when the user specified a different drive letter.

    -- Runs faster (native application)

    TonyPE, very interesting tool. I will give it a look, and run it through some tests.

    Just a quick question, how many of the switches from winnt32.exe have you imported into this script?

    Would you consider releasing the code as open source?

    I am sorry for the delay in replying. I didn't notice the message. Anyway...

    I've only implemented these switches: /syspart:C: /unattend /s /makelocalsource /noreboot

    Yes, I would release it as open source. There is no compilied code involved (it's a script file), so it's basically already open.

    Generally speaking, you're completely out of luck. From Bart's intro-to-BartPE page:
    64-Bit - Bart's builder does not support Windows 64-bit editions.

    I somehow missed this. Darn...

    Make a WinXP x64 Unattended CD/DVD. That works just fine
    How can I do this?
    But v2.0 is part of Longhorn/Vista. It should be easier for you to get your hands on.

    I have the Feb CTP of Vista, but the DVD doesn't seem to have anything related to PE on it. Am I missing something?
