wimb Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) The new AIK of Windows 7 with dism version 6.1.7600 contains eventhe WiFi support file Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_OCs\Windows6.1-KB972831-x86.cabI was able to add the package after adding with dism some extra cabs of WinPE_FPs folder.After booting with pe3w.iso from GRUB4DOS menu I have a lot of portable programs running from PStart Menu,but there is not yet WLAN available. The driver was added manually, but WLANAPI is not found on the system.So we are making progress, but there is still some work to be done ....More Info http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...mp;#entry161011== Edited January 29, 2010 by wimb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I agree, reposts from other blogs or forums should have their source URL included with the post. This not only will alleviate the problem Jaclaz had in thinking it was something you (gosh) was working on, but it also will stop the original authors from thinking someone is stealing their work. This has come up on other forums in the past, and it is best to cite your sources, although you don't have to go TOW crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 @TripredacusI am not getting crazy at all , and definitely not TOW crazy.........speaking of which :http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1007283/craz...towing_trailer/..and also speaking of "blind faith" .The point I was trying to make is that one thing is posting some "news" read somewhere and another thing is to make them appear as your own, besides the point you made about possible "resentment" of the original authors, is that when gosh, I mean gosh, not a JohnDoe42 at his first post on the board, posts something, it automatically (at least in my mind) get a patent of "dependability/reliability", and it is a synonym of "tested".In other words, and with all due respect for gosh, I was pointing out how he has to be, as reknown Windows tweaker/expert and MSFN Patron, very accurate, as his words do have a weight. But it seems to me that everything is now clear and cool B) , let's see if we can actually have WiFi working on PE 2.x/3.x..... jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i find something useful i post it on this site. In retrospect its easy to i should have done this, i should have done that. The microsoft blog said this worked fine without any issues. I had no reason to doubt 2 microsoft employees who said this worked fine. Dont shoot the messenger. If you have a complaint direct it at the original source - the microsoft blog. It would be nice to get a thanks every once in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle710 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I will try and find time to post a zip file of all the regedits and system file I required to get Wireless to work in WinPE 2.1 but have been very busy as of late. Please proceed with testing and I will update you all when I get the chance.I may be able to take a screenshot of connection to a wireless accesspoint if you would like a quick Proof of Concept.

wimb Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Unprotected Wireless Internet in Windows PE 3.0 was realized: It is necessary to let dism Add WLAN drivers in specific way from provided folder WIN7_drivers.As before, dism was also used to add winpe-wmi.cab and the HotFix WinPE_OCs\Windows6.1-KB972831-x86.cabThe WLANAPI missing message in PENetwork.exe was overcome by Adding WIN7_system32\wlanapi.dll of Windows 7 to system32 Internet access and PENetwork don't work yet for WPA encryption.There is now a message for problem to be solved:file netwzc.inf is missing, which is needed for support of Wireless Zero ConfigurationCode used to make Windows PE 3.0 - pe3w.isocopype.cmd x86 F:\winpe3_x86copy /y F:\winpe3_x86\winpe.wim F:\winpe3_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wimimagex.exe /mountrw F:\winpe3_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim 1 F:\winpe3_x86\mountDism /image:F:\winpe3_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs\winpe-wmi.cab"Dism /image:F:\winpe3_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs\en-us\winpe-wmi_en-us.cab"Dism /image:F:\winpe3_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_OCs\Windows6.1-KB972831-x86.cab":: Add WLAN driversDism /image:F:\winpe3_x86\mount /Add-Driver /Driver:F:\winpe3_x86\WIN7_drivers /recurse:: Add wlanapi.dllxcopy.exe F:\winpe3_x86\WIN7_system32\*.* F:\winpe3_x86\mount\Windows\System32\ /i /k /e /r /y /h:: Add Browse for Folder support by making empty folder Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktopmd F:\winpe3_x86\mount\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktopimagex.exe /unmount /commit F:\winpe3_x86\mountoscdimg.exe -n -m -o -bF:\winpe3_x86\etfsboot.com F:\winpe3_x86\ISO F:\winpe3_x86\pe3w.isoMore Info: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...mp;#entry161011Windows PE 3.0 with Wireless Internet - Opera Portable and PENetwork.exe== Edited February 1, 2010 by wimb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanf Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Probably a long-shot... but might be interesting to do a Dependency Walker profile of some other wireless networking manager - like one specific to the adaptor.For example, Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility for Windows 7 32-Bit*. There's a zip file there which may be installable to the off-line winpe. Alternatively, the program may be installable online in a running winpe and the installer would probable say what's missing and required.To start, add all the packages in the WAIK and the wireless driver, and throw the installer and depends.exe into /system32..., and have plenty of RAM.... just a thought.Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimb Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) Thanks allanf for your interest and help.First attempt to use Intel Utility ICS_s32.exe in Windows PE 3.0 environment failed.However, I will try now to follow approach of PENetwork.script and add required files and registry entries needed for WiFi Support with encryption.Your advice to add empty Desktop folder to config\systemprofile works excellent.We now have Browse for Folder support in Windows PE 3.0 Edited February 2, 2010 by wimb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicklad Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Hey all!Some of you might be interested in a thread over on the TechNet forums "WinPE 802.1x TLS authentication during zero touch?".By the end of the thread, a method of getting 802.1X working under Windows PE is given.Microsoft still haven't given any documentation on getting this all working properly.Any use/thoughts?

patters Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) I got wifi working without using a third-party PE builder and wrote it up on my blog. My batch script uses the normal WAIK tools and will build both x86 and x64 versions.http://pcloadletter.co.uk/2011/12/03/windows-pe-builder-script-for-waik-including-wifi-support/ Edited December 4, 2011 by patters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
