modifying WinPE 2.0 registry offline

[pankajtakawale]

Hi,

Im trying to modify WinPE.wim's registry offline using following method:

http://www.msfn.org/board/To_Enable_NTLMv2...registry+modify

But I could not locate setupreg.hiv in mounted WinPE.wim image.

Is there an ither hiv file?

I am not at all an expert on this, but my guess would be that a year 2005 post can hardly refer to WinPE 2.0, which has been released in late 2006/beginning of 2007.

Unless the original poster had a VERY GOOD crystal ball, that post must reference to WinPE 1.x, XP based, NO .wim whatsoever....

The hives for the PE image will be located in the \Windows\System32\config folder. The hive files have no extension. They just show up as: SYSTEM, SOFTWARE, DEFAULT, etc.
