Automatically execute bat script after winpe is loaded

[vishyc88]

Hi friends,

Is it possible to automatically run a bat script after the winpe environment has been created? Im trying to do this to automatically kickoff of the windows 7 installation from windows pe environment.

Following are the commands i wish to execute:

> net use z: \\172.16.255.254\win7 jet-123 /user:student

>z:\setup.exe

Please Please help!

Thanks

Sure. There is a bat file already that starts WinPE, it is startnet.cmd. Make sure your winpeshl.ini is blank or it will ignore the startnet.cmd. Here is one of my old startnet.cmd files:

wpeinit
wpeutil initializenetwork
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 16 -w 1000>null
net use z: \\7SERVER\images ZarleyZalapski33 /user:kdineen
regsvr32 /s misc/gimagex_com.dll
mshta.exe x:\windows\system32\imagex.hta

So you probably just need wpeinit as the first option, then your other two commands right afterwards. This file is located in x:\windows\system32

Hi ...im back!

Im able to start the installation, everything's fine but the time taken to load wpeinit is too much. It takes atleast 5 - 10 mins just to load wpeinit. Otherwise everything's working like charm. I dont understand.

Im using winpe 2.0. Will upgrading to winPE 3.0 improve the speed?

Please lemme know
