Hi Guys, i cannot get this to run in vistaPE. can somone help.


ive got all these files in windows directory
imagex.exe
intclg.exe
winfltr.ini
winfltr.sys
wimgapi.dll

& getwiminfo.bat & ondanswin.exe.

When i run the exe file from the cmd prompt in PE nothing happens. Where am i going wrong..?

Sorry for the late reply..

Add the following files...

tabctl32.ocx
mscomctl.ocx

I will update soon with source files I am not a coder you see so I am on a rapid learning curve.

chiners 68 if you pm me I give you my mail address seen your in the UK same as me.

Hi, this project looks awesome, I had been using the Imagex HTA but have found several limitations and the project itself unfortunately seems to have ground to a halt on the MSFN board.

I have read through all the posts and was wondering if someone could tell me the current status of the gui itself. Does it currently work in Vista PE, what features currently don't work, and is there a completion time frame?

Please see first post for edits

Hi Guys, i cannot get this to run in WinPE 2.0. can somone help.


I've got all these files on a flash drive in same directory
I'm booted to a Win PE 2.0 Boot CD.
imagex.exe
intclg.exe--->Can't find this exe ???????? Where it be ????
winfltr.ini
winfltr.sys
wimgapi.dll
tabctl32.ocx
mscomctl.ocx
getwiminfo.bat
ondanswin.exe.

When I run the exe file from the cmd prompt in WinPE
I get.....
Run-Time Error '429'
ActiveX Component Can't
Create Object.
I click OK on that.
Imagex GUI Dialog Box Comes up but headings for
Partition to Capture is missing.
And also Heading for Backup Filename Missing too.
I enter the info in the boxes anyway but when I click
Button to Start the imaging it Does Nothing.

Where am I going wrong..?

Hi when your making your winpe image I would mount the boot.wim within sources and add the files there in system32 so that you do not have to do the full path for imagex.

The intclg.exe is in my windows aik\tools\x86\intclg.exe

This is just a wrapper dont forget the cmd will be displayed at the bottom of the gui if you cant run the cmd by the cmd then its not going to work in the gui

I did copy to my Flash Drive Folder from my windows aik\tools\x86\intclg.exe hoping it would cause the
GUI to execute ok but I still get a dialog box that appears to be missing headings for the entries to be filled in with
Drive to capture and Backup location and description. When I click on the "Capture WIM Image button" Nothing Happens. Oh Well !!! I must be missing something. I've used ImageX command line out of this Flash Drive folder
as it is and it works fine. I wanted to try this GUI because it really speeds up the process of getting things started and
eliminating my "Fat Finger" mistakes. My command line is pretty long.
"G:\Imagex GUI\imagex.exe" /config "G:\Imagex GUI\Skipmore.ini" /COMPRESS maximum /capture C: "D:\Images-WIM4-24-2007 Data C-Image.WIM" "04-24-2007 Data C-Image.WIM"

I'll watch the forum some more and maybe these old eyes will see the errors of my ways !!!!
Thanks

can you try and re create your problem in vmware and send me a screenshot?

You inspired me to do this, and I have just finished my project.

I have written a program called WIMMaster which gives a graphical interface to the Wimgapi library. I wrote the program in C using Visual Studio 2005. It is similar in looks to OnDansWIM, but is quite different below the surface.

I was able to get the progress bar going for Capture/Append and Export, but had no success with Apply. The reason for this is that the WIMApplyImage function in wimgapi apparently spawns a separate thread for its work, and somehow this blocks the communication needed to run the progress bar. I used a modeless dialog instead to indicate that something was going on.

I have a file which contains all my source code, and also a BartPE plugin and a VistaPE script with all the files encoded into it, except for wimgapi.dll and wimfltr.sys which are of course required for both the plugin and the script. My file is too big to upload here, although it is not all that large. It is available for download here.

Anyone wishing to use the source code will need the Wimgapi SDK which comes with the WAIK, and also Visual Studio 2005. Visual Studio 2003 seemed to have problems reading wimgapi.h, because of all the __in, __out and other similar descriptors it uses.

A number of interesting points arise in the source code. One of them is that the use of a file name for an image is not mandatory as it is with imagex, although it obviously makes sense to have one in a multi-image file. It is actually quite complicated to get the names and descriptions into the wim; I had to write a special function to edit the image to achieve this.

I hope that some will find the coding instructive, and the program useful. It seems to work as well as imagex does.

Looks very nice.

I have also seen the error SamboA encounter. Any updates or error in how we set up??

If you're having the problem of nothing happening, are you sure your wimfltr service is started?

Try the following before trying to capture in command prompt:


This will start the wimfltr service necessary for imagex.

You guys may want to check out GImageX and WIMMaster (much more refined set of tools IMO):

cheers m8 looks good

Hello,

can I ask you some Questions please.
How does you created this form? Can I use visual Studio express and what do you have to put on the CD to run self builded programs?
Or is there an other way to create a gui? I have created some vbscripts which then I have to port to visual Studio VB ...

Thanks for your help...

How can I get this thing to work in WinPE? No matter what I do, it will not start up when I boot to a WinPE CD. What are the prerequisites?

Where can i get all the required files from, Geez i chose a bad name, Can it be changed to ReCreate?

Concerning a name change, please post here:
