I have to ask but with all these things added what size is the WIM file?

[Kullenen_Ask]

i have seen that you have working .net in your ludope?? i will not add all assembly folder. will leave it as it is. maybe i can add a few else folders for special applications. will check and try to solve msi problem with winbuilder script. i don't remember your or someone else it was saying msi and installshield support.msi service works but it can not reach i think. shouldnt be very difficult.i installed a setup program without problem. i don't know which application it was using installshield or else. i dont have else video then divx. i didnt try to use video can inform when i check. images seen by photoviewer not mediaplayer. you can see image size from videos but it is cd size not wim size. wim size should be 433 something like that. i dont think to optimize it. optimization deletes needed driver files. i will delete some big dll files without loosing functionality. will delete infocard and wellcome center dll also there is a sorting.nls which i don't now really needed.there are such big files. want it to be 399mb or 410mb. In 433mb there is winrar and irfanview(5mb with videoplugin). i understand that when i change user systemuser stay open as it should be. double user same time takes more ram usage when working administrator account. changing user takes much time. i remember the iso that shutdown work and i deleted it was chaging user in 4 seconds. it doesnt seen in second clip but synccenter and colormanagement working. i dont know why it did so in there.

Do you have a copy I can obtain from somewhere to play with?

[Kullenen_Ask]

some mediaplayer related file list.for to watch video and audio.i spend my all day with procmon they are really using. in program files folder only need wmplayer.exe and its mui. other files doesnt need. couldnt watch movie with media player but watched divx movie with irfanview after install xvid codec. mp3 files work nice with mediaplayer. also takes mp3 info from internet and when playing i see album photo. you should have right registry settings and audio support for it to work.

Kullenen_Ask,

Make sure you stay on these forums....LOL. I want to build my own and get explorer/Internet Explorer running. It will take sometime as I am wraping up my current WIM file but I cant wait to jump into this.. and of course I may need some advice or assistance. If you would be so kind.

[Kullenen_Ask]

last day i backed up my all builds and they took 3 dvds. probably have at least 20 different wims now working on mini and micro editions for people wants quick and fast boot. internet explorer, gadgets, and photoviewer standart options in both. in mini edition there will be more control panel options terminal and remote desktop services (services works but need find missing files for to get connect by remote) will be media player with mp3 and video support (only with irfanview) now. mini edition will be 235mb wim size. micro edition is now 176mb size i didnt decided what will be init more. both builds all drivers kept. also the ones probably will not need. forexample also in micro there is sound drivers but doesnt have sound files. can give the files list extra added upon demand. second image of the setup boot.wim used in both of them. really it has more options then to use a clean aik winpe.wim and add packages as i read from somewhere. cleaned setup packages and added dot3svc package and had a 145mb base wim. didnt add pppoe package because i can get it work easly without adding package by file additions and registry tweak. it doesnt need to load extra by configras.cmd and wpeutil initialize network switch. will get wpeutil process shorter. strange part i dont use any usb disk mounter tool but it can find usb drives automatically. i removed remountdrv tool from dart tools doesnt need anymore. it is probably from the right settings at software\microsoft\windows\explorer registry key (i think most important part of winpe builds, nobody has right settings yet)Other possibilities from wudf files or usb files. you can check from my files list and compare yours.

I can open Network and Sharing Center, but it is not yet working.

It needs some more services to be installed.

I can see it is working for you.

Can you tell me what extra services and files of Windows 7 do I need to add

to make Network and Sharing center working.

Thanks for your help.

i mistakely deleted the post. i downloaded windows 7 embedded. it is unbelievable and has everything we want default. also as packages. want work on it. you can find needed files list from its seperate packages for seperate feautures.

Want to convert embedded install.wim(171mb) to a winpe.wim protecting the servicability as embedded so we can integrate any package. will be a new age in winpe environments if i succeed.

what i try to do until now:

*first i took install.wim of embedded. exported that as a boot image. mounted registry files. added winpe services (like fbwf) added ramdisk.sys and fbwf driver files and else drivers. i saw kernel dll files different size. changed them as winpe. compared and changed most of the registry values i know as winpe. tested in virtual machine. i have always process1_initialization failed error. after import services registry key of winpe complately when i boot after sliding frame of boot it gives PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.looks like a service error but i also try same install.wim system hive on a untouched winpe.wim and it works. i couldnt succed.

what will it give? it will give the option of integrate packages as install.wim to a winpe image. else dism dont integrate packages to winpe.wim

*Another way. Took a winpe base image. changed config,servicing,winsxs/servicingstack,smi folders with the install.wim ones. if it can succeded we can return that folders to original ones and will have a winpe image with integrated packages.right files and right folders only without registry values.registry changes will lost but we can add by compare manually. after i had the wim and try to add packages it gave error at %75 of adding ie-explorer package. didnt try more, couldnt succeded too.

*if none of them work?

copying ds folder to a drive. changing install.wim with winpe.wim same name and using image manager on it works. you can select your packages and fix their dependencies.after use unchanged distribution folder with original install.wim. you can integrate your packages and compare folder structure with a untouched install.wim. copy the difference files to winpe.wim and manually add registry settings to your winpe.wim

if anybody has more clever ideas i am ready to hear.

Hi Killenen_Ask

I am an apprentice of yours, I wonder if it would be possible for you to do a step by step tutorial for at least how to enable windows explorer and start menu in WinPE 3.0?

You know how to do it in WinPE XP?

Thank you.

[Kullenen_Ask]

why dont you use makepe3?

it changes what you want to work as explorer. do you want only startmenu and browse for folders? or will be control panel too? will be network support? will be ...? it can go like that.

shortly i can say you need

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes] full branch

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"Shell"="explorer.exe

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] full branch

and start adding files from

explorer.exe

explorerframe.dll

shdocvw.dll

shrpubw.exe

shfolder.dll

mycomput.dll

mydocs.dll

ndfapi

actxprxy

... and so on. there is full explorer.reg in post 67. how to make a classes.hiv below and as PE3-SOFTWARE_CLID.reg in makepe3. WinPE XP should be same i think too.

there is a sample file list of mine in Make_PE3 Program to Create Portable Windows 7 PE topic #67 or you can use win7_add_files.txt in makepe3. above list of 9 files should be enough only for browsing maybe missing a few only

UPDATE to classes.hiv:

*mount install.wim to a folder. *load software.hiv with a tool. *export HKLM\Software\Classes key as hiv. *boot in winpe. *make an empty key under software (example:HKLM\Software\port7pe). *import classes.hiv under this key. *export same key as reg file again. *open with notepad. *search and replace all 44,00,3a,00,5c,00 (means D:\) with 58,00,3a,00,5c,00 (means X:\). *search and replace all D:\ with X:\ *there are both hex and alphabet versions you need to do both. *I used here unmodified classes of setup thats why there are D:\ if installed operating system classes used there will be C:\ we want the most clean and we use setup. not like everybody uses. *run and merge this reg again. *now browse with regedit to the same key. *search for "interactive user" and delete all. *it finished now can export this port7pe key as classes.hiv and use in all builds.

we dont need someone else modified reg file anymore.

[Kullenen_Ask]

first you need to have a working audio service and working volume icon. i dont give the files for them here. if you have it theese are the files i added for media player. i didnt check if all need or optimized. there are should be directx files in it too.xvid.ax, xvidcore.dll,xvidvfw.dll are xvid codec files i extra added. they need to be registered but i didnt register when i test this build and they should be useless now. if you try to work klcodec475b.exe (K-Lite Codec Pack 4.7.5 Basic) codec pack in your winpe it checks the classes registry key and gives the list of missing codecs and dll files. i added most of dll and codec files like that. didnt add all but most of them. in program files\media player folder only wmplayer and en-us mui need only. theese are in system32 folder files. when i try to get web cam work it wanted dxtrans.dll dll file. you can add it too for directx. if we will watch movie only we should need only decoder files i will try to optimize deleting encoder files. dont think only adding files will let you work media player. i dont know all the needed registry settings. i changed all registry. i share all i know certain. can check previous post about media player and compare the files. i didnt do that when i write this. i don't look inside of winsxs folder to find needed files or looked inside of embedded media player package. all file list found with procmon with watching the system activity. i go with difficult way.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

First i want to apologise that what i was seen in media player was only a thumbnail of the movie. i dont know how i didnt understood that. first want to say sorry. And second for to forgive myself i worked on it half an hour and fixed everything. this time really work i saw with my eyes.

What i did is:

*Added extra files that hasn't got time date upside

*Used http://www.thewindowsclub.com/downloads/FixWMP.zip this utility in winpe

*Installed klcodec475b.exe pack in winpe. At install i selected use media player default for codecs.

now it plays. what will i do now is to backup classes.hiv and import my offline image.i didnt put codecs from codec pack inside system32 folder(need put)but now everything works.

and optimized wim that plays movie with mediaplayer,sound,network,sidebar and working explorer in 186MB. probably optimizing deleted lots of needed files. i will add again. only want to show it can be so little.

Hi Kullenen_Ask

@ xnbya : Can you provide a full file list of what you have added from install.wim or files that you can delete please?

It's a very good question

Kulenen, can you compare your files/directory from finalPE.wim with Boot.wim ?

Good to seen WMP12 play Video

Have you register DLL, ACX or ACM files; and if So/Yes, which precisely ?

Thanks
