1. What packages are in your PE? 2. Also which PE or WAIK version are you using? 3. When you say PE, did you make a winpe.wim with the WAIK or are you referring to the Vista Boot.wim file?

The Killers - Somebody Told Me

Yes I see the information that says 8 beeps is missing video adapter. It may very well be a motherboard issue, but you should first try different system memory to see if that helps.

OK, its because the batch file uses the standard command interpreter. I wonder if its possible to run a batch file through the PE cmd, since it contains the valid path information.

Only on a Tivo!

Are they failing because your XP drives already have NTFS on them?

I see alot of these walkthroughs contain a change directory. Are you guys running this through the regular command prompt instead of the Win PE Tools Command Prompt?

Alternatively, he could also use the Q. option to run 'wpeutil reboot' correct?

I am back to working on my Vista Unattend project, and I got further than before. Now I am getting a parsing error in [auditUser] and [Microsoft-Windows-Deployment]. There is only one thing in auditUser, and that is where I need it to run a batch file using RunSynchronous. But this is failing. I checked the setupact.log and there are no errors or warnings relating to this. Also the setuperr.log is empty. The path to the file is as specified in the walkthrough in the OPK tools for this type of install. <settings pass="auditUser"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Path>E:\Distribution\$OEM$ Folders\unlock\business.bat</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> </component> </settings> Any ideas?

Also, if you have volume licensing, you need to log into the partner portal, the open portal or moo.

Let's call them "Wallbooks"

XP, 98 and then NT 3.51.

I upgrade only if I need to, because of a part that happened to have died, or if I bought a game/program that I can't run. I am currently in that boat right now, I am a CPU upgrade away from being able to play ANY new game they sell nowadays. I tried going to the store and my computer can't run anything that is out now. That line crept up real slow and suddenly I'm way behind it seems.

I found my error in winpeshl did not have /s. And no, for programs with switches in winpeshl.ini, you must use a comma and the remainder of the command in quotes. For example, here is my full winpeshl.ini I am working with: [LaunchApps] %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\wpeinit.exe %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\setres.exe, "1024 768 32 1" %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\diskpart.exe, "/s %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\diskpart.txt" %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Progra~1\BurnInTest\bit.exe, "-x -r -c test.bitcfg" This issue is resolved.

I have tried both in winpeshl.ini and startnet.cmd. I have created a text file that sits in system32, but when it executes, it complains that it cannot find the file. Here is the command from winpeshl.ini: %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\diskpart.exe, "/s %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\diskpart.txt" Here it is in startnet.cmd: diskpart /s diskpart.txt It works fine if I manually run it from the command prompt, using the startnet.cmd example.

IMO, Altiris is the most powerful, but it depends on the scale of your operation.

I'm not up to the RC tools yet. We haven't even gotten in any Windows 7 source yet so I'm not too worried right now.

Microsoft doesn't typically sell licensing directly. For the most part you are going to need to find a reseller or purchase a retail copy.

I've forwarded this along so hopefully it will be fixed in an update.

I am going to merge that post back into this one. The two topics too similar.

After you are finished with editing the winpe.wim in the base folder, you rename that to boot.wim and put it in the sources folder.

An important note, in your copype command, you must specify a destination folder that does not already exist.

In Firefox, if you change it to open in new window, a new window will open and quickly close and show a save box. Try that method, otherwise you need to look into the cfg file to see if you can change something in there.
