Help needed with VPScript: window.close() terminates cmd.exe in WinPE?

[doestergaard]

Does anybody know why this happens? I know that WinPE shutdown when you close startcmd, but how can i leave cmd.exe open so it does not shutdown WinPE?

Heres my code:

case 4

oShell.Run("%WINDIR%\System32\cmd.exe")

document.parentwindow.close()

end select

end sub

Thanks in advance

So I guess your code is closing the CMD huh? Is your VBScript being run from the startnet.cmd?

Cmd alone should also close. You might need to run cmd /k if you want to keep the cmd windows open.

Thank you for your replies. Haven't had any luck with it yet. Im using Winpeshl.ini to execute mshta and the OSDLoader.hta

It terminates all windows when i tell the script to open the new window. Here is my code for OSDLoader.hta which after initializing the system will execute:

oShell.Run "%WINDIR%\System32\cmd /k cd X:\ & %WINDIR%\OSD\OSDGui.hta", 1, false

self.close()

The OSDGui.hta opens up fine but closes again immediately after self.close() from OSDLoader.hta is being executed and WinPE reboots

Thanks again!

I did this once, but after the image was complete I show a messagebox asking to reboot. Read up this thread:
