JFX Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 What happens if you just copy your mysoftware.txt inside the current MinWin profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonino Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) it will not complete the booting and a warning window says error with desktop.xml something and then I call the menu which stays unpopulated, if it completes the opening. Shall I run miniwin first time without mysoftware.txt and then with mysoftware.txt and see the difference? one different aspect is smaller size, mysoftware.txt might have taken out too much though. well, not really so. now that I have checked mysoftware.txt, I see that it entirely prevents certain files and folders from being deleted, therefore it cannot be the cause. I also have had to keep net.framework and assembly. do u want the txt's that take stuff out instead of those which keep stuff in and have a look? i can post them here if u like. I might as well post a list of the services we got left, as we have desabled some and then run device remover to eliminate all grey ones. that is all there is to the extra deletions I can think of. and of course no issue with windows 10. here I got a more detailed description of the error at bootup: DesktopWindowXamlSource: Explorer.exe - Fail Safe Exception, and then further down in the error window it says that all handlers will be immediately terminated.

JFX Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Use a clean MinWin default profile without it. I tested it against some Windows 11 ISOs 21H2, 22H2 and also latest DEV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIW2 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Happy New Year. Is there a way to use wimlib --snapshot with Wincopy so it can be run from within windows instead of having to boot into pe or another os ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFX Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Happy New Year. If you select the current Windows Installation as source, WinCopy and WimCapture will always create a shadow copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharicov@gmail.com Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 you are welcome, JFX. Command line worked perfectly fine, while same name with the GUI gave an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFX Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Good, than it's probably the drive label. GUI is using the filename as drive label. I can't find anything other than it is limited to 32 characters. Beta 6 will now trimm it to 32 chars or rename the label to "VHD" is case of such a problem.

Latest news I have: https://msfn.org/board/topic/182107-grub4dos-for-uefi/page/4/#comment-1233863 In a nutshell, there were some issues with the hosting/provider AND the actual machine, so it was shut down and Nuno is going to re-deploy on a new machine from last backup. jaclaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
