  2. I am guessing one of the packages you are trying to install is an online installer and not a redistributable or self contained installer. It has nothing to do with the namespaces and format declarations in the XML file. Do not change or remove those.
  3. Welcome to the MSFN!
  4. Windows always goes to manufacturers first. This is why you can go to the store and get an HP with a new OS before the retail copies are available. Or they try for a simultaneous release, so that new PCs hit the stores the same time as the new media does.
  5. Yes it is as I feared. You can tell from the HwID, that items starting with PCI/ are physical devices, while any others (in most cases, or like the others you listed) are virtual. Which means they are controlled by software, or the BIOS, or are emulated. This is true. These types of adapters do not work in Win PE 1.x or 2.x so far that I have been able to determine. The Device I mentioned earlier also uses the Virtual Bus. The problem is that the device is not enumerated in a way that the PE can make use of it. I have no solution for this issue, and have yet to find any hope. We ran into these types of NICs a while ago, and we made a good note to stay away from them when possible until a solution could be found. In case I do have to work with one, I have to use an additional PCI NIC if possible, or worst case scenario image the drive in another computer, then move it back and boot it up in its own hardware.
  6. PCISCAN can be found here: http://www.nu2.nu/utils/ use pciscan -v switch for full info.
  7. I have a partial guide with partial success... To install DirectX 9.0c: - Download the DirectX 9.0c redistributable. - extract the contents of DXNT.CAB. - copy all DLL and SYS files to System32 - create the path System32\DirectX\DInput and copy all PNG and INI files into there. I need to also put the August 2008 component. Errors now battling: - Error Initializing DirectDraw - DirectX Direct3D version required is unavailable.
  8. Not in a way to make the WinPE an operating system, but in my quest to use it as a Burn program. I would like to find information on how to enable sound in Win PE 2.x as well as be able to display 3d graphics. This would entail getting portions of the DirectX 9.0c redistributable into the PE and be recognized by it. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Oh also, I've researched sound at least. The problem is that the PE does not contain the files in KB888111, so it is not possible to install the driver for the soundcard because the Hardware ID does not match the INF files for the device. I am not certain how to get around this. I am more concerned on getting video to work more-so than sound.
  9. Yes I think I have the code down. It seems to work either with button or input objects. The symptom I am having now is that the program it launches does not stay open. I was testing in VirtualBox, and I think this is an issue. Nevertheless, this post has allowed me to clean up my code a bit at least.
  10. You can use PEIMG to put the Broadcom driver into the boot.wim. Be aware that I have had issues with the B57 driver from them. Make sure to use the Vista 32bit driver. If you are not sure about the driver, grab the Vista LAN pack from Driverpacks.net.
  11. Server 2008 x86 will display 4GB RAM if you have PAE enabled, but it will still make use of about 3.2GB.
  12. A lot of information about how Windows works is buried deep into MSDN. It is geared primarily towards programming for Windows and Microsoft products such as Office.
  13. A product reaches RTM stage when it has completed all alpha, beta and release candidate phases. It is also known as "Gold" phase, or the time when the product is final and can be then sold in stores or to resellers.

  15. For the clients that cannot boot to the network, can you post some additional information for me? 1. Motherboard make and model 2. Motherboard BIOS version 3. the name of the boot rom that is displayed prior to it getting an IP address. 4. The hardware id of the NIC* * you can get this from Device Manager, under the details tab of the NIC. This would require a machine with Windows installed on it already. If you do not have this option at all, then boot to DOS and run PCISCAN -V and it will tell you that information as well.
  16. Welcome to the MSFN! Do a quick test. Boot off a usb key or boot disk or something to DOS. Then run PCISCAN (pciscan -v) to show the devices. Verify that the NIC appears in that list. Some Broadcom and Realtek NICs are virtual devices and do not work with Win PE at the moment. Can you also post the hardware id of this NIC? You can get this from PCISCAN or if you have one of these with Windows installed on it.
  17. Sorry I didn't see that post. Yes you can create "patches" to this using the Application Compatibility Toolkit. Its a pretty crazy program. I've used it once to get the sound in Destruction Derby 2 to work in XP, but I was following step-by-step instructions in creating the patch. I have no idea how to properly use the program if I try to figure it out myself. As far as BurnInTest goes, Passmark says that it should work in Win PE as a demo via their instructions. I acquired a trial license to use for testing, and it came down to the fact that this is incorrect as far as Win PE 2.1. It will not run without a license. I have it running tests now and now I get to write up an SoP for its prospective use. Oh boy!
  18. The guides I use are on paper. This looks like a good guide. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766219.aspx
  19. Yes, the distribution and/or Reminst folders should be on a different volume, but that shouldn't cause a problem. That is merely a best practice method. OK, your Winpe booted to a prompt, which is exactly what it does by default. The fact that this worked means that your issue isn't with PXE or WDS but with your other Boot Image. You can safely remove the Winpe from the Boot Images if you want. I recommend, try using the boot.wim from the DVD instead of the one WDS made for you.

  21. yes sorry I got that backwards... however they do not sound the same. The pronunciation used during the song is different from the english liner notes. and now Covenant - Like Tears In The Rain
  22. The service packs supercede the normal installs in most cases. It also depends on how you install Windows. For example, slipstreamed updates do not appear in Add/Remove programs. You may also only see them if you check the "show updates" box. So you would see a 1.1 SP1 and not a 1.1. The only time you would see both is if you installed the original some long time ago and then got the update later. I think that is how it shows up on my computer at home. OK, if you click show updates, the original one appears in a branch under the SP1 listing. For example, this computer has: - Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 - Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2 - Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Now if I click show updates, it appears like this: - Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 --- .NET Framework 2 --- .NET Framework ASP .NET --- .NET Framework WinForms --- Dr. Watson --- .NET Framework PreXP --- .NET Framework CLR --- .NET Framework CA --- .NET Framework CRT --- KB958481 --- .NET Framework 1 - Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2 - Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 I didn't like the things in 3.0 and 3.5, but 3.0 has about the same amount of things under it as 2.0, and 3.5 has 2 things under it. Since 1.1 was included in the install CD that was originally used to install Windows on this computer (its Server 2003 Standard x86 btw) it does not appear in Add/Remove Programs at all.
  23. That sounds great. That's how I was, I just registered and got to posting.
  24. I got this code from a webpage that I can't find right now. See my original command used the input object, but just this one used button. This is because I can assign a hotkey to button and not to input.
  25. It's really impossible to determine what caused the problem unless it can be reproduced.
