Hi,

is it possible to install software on Bart PE after i start Bart PE and boot the system.

I have tried it more times but i get every time the message.

The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.

This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode,

or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed.

So is this a cut of Bart PE or is the Installer wrong i have copied all files from the installer to Bart PE and create the Regestry entries.

Can help me someone

No you cant. Bart PE is on cd so even if you could you would have to install it every time. You need to create a plug in prior to building bart pe cd.

For more info see this siteBart PE forum

yes i know this

but i mean i install this software in the ramdisk everytime when i use bart pe

but i can not install it because i get the message above so i need to plugin the windows installer in bart pe and i don´t know how to figure up this

can you help me to build up this plugin ?

i have everything tested to fix this but every time i get the error message from the windows installer

thx for help

Why?

Windows Installer runtime is not included in PE environmnent - but you can repackage installation/copy files manually...

why?

Beacause the software that i want implement in pe will not run but i don´t know why so i had the idea i install it everytime and run it

Windows Installer runtime is not included in PE environmnent - but you can repackage installation/copy files manually...

i have tried this but look at my first post thats the message i get when i start to install a msi package

but when you got an idea how i implement the windows installer i´m very glad

i don´t know what files and what regestry entries i have to edit yet

thx darph

what program is it?

BartPe/WinPE use the registry on the CD which makes it read only. There are plugins which will allow you to use a lot of the registry as writeable... but I think Windows Installer Service uses a part of the registry which is not writeable.

There are a lot of things you can do in a PE disk... but there are limitations.

the program is snapvault from netapp it is a restore program and i have tried everything that it work but it wont

the program start and the server answer but no restore is possible because the prgram break

so i had the idea to install it everytime and start the program

thx for help

I do not know whether this will work for Bart PE but I was able to get the Windows Installer service working on Windows PE. Copy the MSIExec.Exe from a valid XP/2003 Source to the System32 directory. Then run

MSIExec /RegServer

Net Start MSIServer

Then the Windows Installer Service will be running.
