Batch script for imagex error

[yweiss]

Hello,

I'm using this great batch script to capture and apply my image

@echo off

set _atarget= 
goto _main 

:_end

but there is a problem that when i want to choose my .wim file it keep say to me that : Error: The path "%_ok%" does not seem to be a valid .wim image file.

even when i put the correct full path for the wim file

someone can help me with it?

and also i want that after the apply prcess complete the script will run the next command

d:\windows\system32\bcdboot d:\windows

when d: is the drive that the wim file was install to (the hard drive that windows will be in it) so i want that the script will ask for the drive letter or will use one of the variabels from it

I hazard a guess that _ext=%%~xA

Which is set during the For above your three outcomes in the IF statement that follows. If that is the case, then it the variable would exist, and not equal .wim, which only allows for the error to appear. I'm not too good at batch so I'll let others check it out.

10x i will check it

but i i think there is problem

C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\imagex.exe" /apply ' & $source & " " & $index & " " & $drive

i run the script from winpe dvd disk and the imagex is not in this path, it in x:\windows\system32\imagex.exe

so how can i change it?

and i prefare it in batch script

and what about the last command: d:\windows\system32\bcdboot d:\windows

?

Your exiting file suggested that there was likely a missing 'closing bracket', I took a quick look and noticed it almost immediately.

It has now been fixed, please re-copy/paste it!

Please also bear in mind that the file you posted, and the newer one, is not very well designed/structured. For instance, just because something has a .wim extension doesn't make it a valid wim image, but your script is validating only by extension.

What command can you use to verify it is a valid wim? /check?

When we pull our images to our NAS it automatically adds the /verify switch.. Is this enough? Should we add a /check when we push these images back?

[Tripredacus]

Well Imagex will know for sure if it is a WIM file. However you'd want to put in that check only to make sure it is a valid WIM file before having Imagex deploy it and save yourself an error. To do a real check you'll need to make some DLL calls, but most people just use Gimagex component for this rather than figuring it out from scratch.

Hello again

someone can help me to make the batch script for capture the .wim file to a Autiit GUI ?

and also GUI with buttons that if i press on it it will start the aimagex_gui.exe apply and the imagex_gui_compress.exe ?

10x a lot!!

the batch script for capture the .wim file to a Autiit GUI

Assuming you have autoit and Scite already downloaded: I would recommend copying chipsers script and going line by line hitting F1 until you understand what its doing. If you have questions about anything in particular I am sure you will get plenty of help (but I am very cynical and beginning to think you did not write nor completely understand the batch in the original post as you keep asking for the same thing in different forms like it matters).

"Using this great batch script" usually means you're thankfull to the one who wrote it.
