ERD Commander + WinPE

[noonereallycares]

In my attempts to get ERD Commander tools to work within WinPE, I resorted to writing my own VBS script that will detect the local install of windows and pass these detail on to the ERD tool.

Here it is:

Dim WSHShell, FSO, dc, d, objArgs

Set objArgs = Wscript.Arguments
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
set FSO = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set dc = FSO.Drives

if Not FSO.FileExists(objArgs(0)) then 
	Wscript.Echo "Usage: " & Chr(13) & "    erdlogon.vbs cmdline [TargetRoot] " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) _
  & "To execute override detected Target Root, specify the location of" & Chr(13) _
  & "the Windows folder in place of TargetRoot."
	WScript.Quit(0)
end if

if objArgs.count = 2 then

	if FSO.FolderExists(objArgs(1)) then 
  WSHShell.Environment("Process").item("target_root") = objArgs(1)
	end if

else

	For Each d in dc

  if d.DriveType = 2 then

 	 if FSO.FileExists(d.Path & "\WINNT\system32\config\system") then
    if FSO.FileExists(d.Path & "\WINNT\system32\config\sam") then
   	 if FSO.FileExists(d.Path & "\WINNT\system32\config\default") then
      if FSO.FileExists(d.Path & "\WINNT\system32\config\software") then
     	 WSHShell.Environment("Process").item("target_root") = d.Path & "\WINNT"
     	 Exit For
      end if
   	 end if
    end if

 	 elseif FSO.FileExists(d.Path & "\WINDOWS\system32\config\system") then
    if FSO.FileExists(d.Path & "\WINDOWS\system32\config\sam") then
   	 if FSO.FileExists(d.Path & "\WINDOWS\system32\config\default") then
      if FSO.FileExists(d.Path & "\WINDOWS\system32\config\software") then
     	 WSHShell.Environment("Process").item("target_root") = d.Path & "\WINDOWS"
     	 Exit For
      end if
   	 end if
    end if
 	 end if

  end if

	Next

end if

WshShell.Exec objArgs(0)

Set WSHShell = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing
WScript.Quit(0)

If anyone has any suggested improvements, just shout.

BTW, it needs WSH support to be installed for it to run. I can help with this if anyone is having problems.
