Good news . (The new job : , not the fact that you won't be around much ).

Thanks, yep, a good news  after losing my old job a little while ago, now  

My old job allowed me to have a lot of free time which enabled me to play with PE and others.

I would have less free time with this new mission, not won in advance, 2 others independents did not give all satisfaction, before.

I like challenges, I will see

Hi fuwi,

 

All the best in your new job! I hope you do not stop your great work in Win8.1SE and the other PE's

 

Thanks  
After so much time spent on SE projects, I'll try to stay around.
For small corrections or updates in server, it should be possible, I hope.
For support, new ideas or develop new features, it's another story, certainly not in the first times.
I Hope that all good guys around who likes to play with PE, will bring some ideas, new dev and new plugins to make live these projects, as you already did B)

 

See you soon

I have tried using the current download to build an ISO using Win8.1 x86 and x64 Enterprise 90-day eval. It builds and boots OK, I get the spinning dots and a blue screen, then it goes black and nothing happens. I tried booting from VBox as a ISO-CDROM, as an ISO in E2B and on a real system as an ISO in E2B. All same result.

I mount the Win Install ISO as a virtual drive - e.g. J: - use J: as the source and press GO - no other mods.

Sources tried:

9600.16384.WINBLUE_RTM.130821-1623_X86FRE_ENTERPRISE_EVAL_EN-US-IRM_CENA_X86FREE_EN-US_DV5.ISO

9600.16384.WINBLUE_RTM.130821-1623_X64FRE_ENTERPRISE_EVAL_EN-US-IRM_CENA_X64FREE_EN-US_DV5.ISO

 

I tried building on a Win 7 notebook and a Win8.1 PC both give same result.

 

any ideas?

[ChrisR]

Hi steve,

 

I used a long time those two ISO as en-US source, in addition to my French DVD and others like en-GB (the mui files are split between en-US and en-GB folders).
As en-US, I currently use the REFRESH 9600.17050 Enterprise Eval., with boot and install.wim previously extracted in folders :
9600.17050.WINBLUE_REFRESH.140317-1640_X86FRE_ENTERPRISE_EVAL_EN-US-IR3_CENA_X86FREE_EN-US_DV9.ISO
9600.17050.WINBLUE_REFRESH.140317-1640_X64FRE_ENTERPRISE_EVAL_EN-US-IR3_CENA_X64FREE_EN-US_DV9.ISO

 

Building and start-up are OK here, unless I have not enough Ram, Win8.1se is more greedy than Win8pese.

No problem normally with your Win7 or 8.1 system for the construction. I mainly use Win7 64 bit and from time to time Win8.1 64 bit. 
No real idea ! recently Booty#1 had a similar concerns which came from files permissions automatically propagated in the target folder.

Today's build makes my Win 8.1 system flash up a Smart Screen warning and prevents me from continuing with the build? Anyone else get this?

The 2014-10-17 version is OK.

Sometimes this happens if you are not connected to the internet.

ust stupid question:

Can anyone show me some differences between PE vs SE?

PE is Preinstallation Environment

So what is SE?

SE traditionally means "Second Edition", it became popular many years ago with the second release of Windows98, and in the case of Winbuilder it did exist a Win7PE which later was updated and modified becoming Win7PE_SE (project lately lead by ChrisR), when Windows 8 came out, the corresponding project to Win7PE_SE based on Windows 8 files became (still largely authored by ChrisR) Win8PE_SE.

Little by little the "SE" lost its original meaning, basically becoming the "distinctive mark" of ChrisR's Winbuilder based projects, and when 8.1 came out, the PE part was simply dropped, leading to Win8.1 SE.

I'm taking 30 minutes to backup a new installed machine with dism.

Is there any other software I can use to backup?

I like savepart but I can make it run in winpe. Maybe I'm missing any optional package
