It works for Grub4dos ISO emulation, which you have confirmed ....
You can combine this perfectly with PStart folder located on USB-stick outside the ISO.
So I don't see why you want to do it differently.

The "-" is converted to "_" seems to be caused by -force-uppercase

But still I don't see the advantage of your approach.

My approach is to have a good boot manager to start Make_PE3 or also some great tools (such as Acronis Disk Director) or the normal startup of windows environment. I think it may interresting to have GRUB4DOS in Make_PE3 to make a CD or Usb Rescue (with only the Add of 2 files : menu.lst and grldr).

When I say PStart outside the wim file it is also a compilation of other tools available from Make_PE3 or directly from Windows (PnP). Or to add other tools without making wim file to big.
Grub4dos in a not iso emulation allows to access to different folder and files included in the iso and not included in the wim file (and without having to create an iso first and then a second for grub4dos).

Thank you for -force-uppercase. After having other look at the GRUB4DOS options (Jaclaz Links and other pages), here is a a proposal of GRUB4DOS command line that works well and tthat display my French language (or other) at startup.

mkisofs -v -iso-level 4 -l -J -joliet-long -R -volid "Win7PE" -A GRLDR/MKISOFS -sysid "Win32" -b "boot/grldr" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -hide boot.catalog -duplicates-once -o "%PEWork%\7pe_x86.iso" "%PEWork%\ISO"

Menu.lst 
title Boot 7pe_x86 
chainloader /Bootmgr

thanks for support

'Open Command here" language fix

a better way to 'Open Command here" in any language is just to delete the 2 keys.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]
"Extended"=-
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd]
"Extended"=-

Nothing more to do, it works in vista or win 7.

*** Update of Make_PE3 package to Create Portable Windows 7 PE ***

• Changed - Optimize procedure to Reduce Size of the ISO by fast Auto Removal of unneeded Language folders taking winsxs into account
  
• Changed - International support improved - 37 different System Locale settings available, which are Auto Set
  Thanks to ChinaDragon, whose procedure was modified and applied using file LangTime.txt in folder Make_PE3\makebt\vbscr
  
• Changed - Program Version - latest version is now 1.8

Optimize procedure to Reduce Size of the ISO involves:

• Auto Removal of unneeded Language folders taking winsxs into account
  
• File Keep_PE.txt in folder Optimize\x86 is used to specify files/folders to keep
  of folders to be deleted according to PE3_del_folders.txt
  
• The files/folders of Keep_PE.txt are temporarily copied from mount to folder Optimize\x86\Keep_PE
  and replaced in mount after removal of the folders of PE3_del_folders.txt

Known issue:
Previous use of imagex version 6.0.6001 (e.g. for making BB7PE) results in reg load error when using Make_PE3 programs.
It means that when Make_PE3 has mounted boot.wim with Dism, that reg load of PE registry fails.
Solution: simply Reboot before using Make_PE3 programs to remove memory of imagex usage.

Requirements and Info - See post #1

hi. It's my first post here, and i have to say this is an impressive work! By now i'm using a win7pe build from boot-land.net... and i'd want to know some things:

- which are the reg keys involved in "Open file location" shell context to make it work?
- which are the correct settings/reg keys/files to make taskbar icons such as audio/network work?

thanks to anyone who will answer me...!

P.s. It would be a great thing to include support to wb scripts...

[wimb]

*** Update of Make_PE3 package to Create Portable Windows 7 PE ***

• Changed - International support improved - rule with System Locale e.g. en-IN for India,
  can be addad to LangTime.txt in folder Make_PE3\makebt\vbscr
  Thanks to oriensol for error report and for making AutoIt3 Func _SetLangOptions() procedure,
  which uses file LangTime.txt to create GUI Menu of Make_PE3.exe
  
• Changed - Program Version - latest version is now 1.9

It is not that easy to answer ....
Anyway you can have a look at file PE3-SYSTEM_WLAN.reg in folder PE3_mod\PE3_reg\x86 for audio registry
and in Audio section of file WIN7_add_explor.txt in folder PE3_mod\WIN7_add\x86
In this thread there is more info on making audio work ... carenot asked about it
http://www.msfn.org/...908#entry929908

For Open file to work have a look here
http://www.boot-land...showtopic=11278

You also need Desktop folder in userprofile e.g.
Users\Default\Desktop
Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop

But everything is present in 7 PE build with Make_PE3

[Toffel]

Hello

thanks for make_pe3!
It works great, but how can i change the desktop icon/taskbar size before i build the iso?

[wimb]

In Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\x86\Program Files\PEshell\PEShell_explor.ini or PEShell.ini

you can set resolution Desktop with [Display] section

*how to enable aero in makepe_3 (when you select change user and login as administrator.it takes 5 minutes to login but it will be 20 seconds when scheduler service works)

registry values to add:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UAQMODK4
mirror: http://www.zshare.ne...962842a9d98af3/

MAYBE i will look why scheduler doesn't work later. Software_00 means Software.hiv in config folder. When you will load the hiv's with regedit or another tool for offline editing they will probably mount as Software_00. it will be easy for you to import just click.



i didnt add (sessionenv, seclogon) but works. maybe they need for fast user switching too else then scheduler (thx ludovici to find it needs).

Maybe wimb will integrate them in next version maybe not.

[Kullenen_Ask]

you should add offline or add inside of makepe3 reg files at build. service values need to work at boot. will not work after you boot and add online.

change reg files in this folders with theese from link and build. add files manually by hand before you run the iso. you can put files inside Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\x86\Windows folder or add into add txt files to grab from install.wim at build.

Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_reg\x86
Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\x86\Windows\System32

*** Update of Make_PE3 package to Create Portable Windows 7 PE ***

• Changed - Reduce Size of ISO - Default is now YES
  
• Changed - bootfix.bin not added anymore to ISO in order to prevent Hit any key to boot message
  
• Changed - TimeZone is Set now also in building 7pe versions - Thanks to oriensol
  
• Changed - WARNING when not all drivers could be processed for adding by Dism - Thanks to ChinaDragon
  
• Added - 64-bit version of WallCmd.exe given by JFX to support Desktop wallpaper in x64 builds
  
• Added - test to detect if WimFltr v.1 is RUNNING - Thanks to JFX - see Known issue below
  
• Added - Support to use plugins - Make_PE3_plugins.exe are selfextracting packages with addons
  
• Changed - Program Version - latest version is now 2.0

Known issue:
Previous use of WimFltr v.1 by e.g. imagex version 6.0.6001 (e.g. for making BB-7PE or W7PEX)
would result in reg load error when using Make_PE3 programs, but the program will detect and STOP before building 7 PE
It means that when Make_PE3 has mounted boot.wim with Dism, that reg load of PE registry would fail.
Solution: simply Reboot before using Make_PE3 programs to STOP WimFltr v.1

Requirements and Info - See post #1


Make_PE3_plugins
Adding Programs before building the 7 PE ISO - The easiest way is to make use of plugins for Make_PE3 package.

The Make_PE3_plugins.exe are selfextracting packages with addons, and containing files, registry and drivers for apps,
and which contain Start Menu and Desktop icons and have similar folder structure as in Make_PE3 and as in 7 PE and Windows 7.
Registry exported from Windows 7 or 7 PE can be used as reg files in the plugins, so that they can be made easily.
The Export registry must be made suitable for import in the from PE3 loaded SYSTEM SOFTWARE and DEFAULT hive and have keys like

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\PE3-SYSTEM\..........
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\PE3-SOFTWARE\..........
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\PE3-USER\..........

In this way we can share and exchange easily plugins packages with addons. :

As exemple you may download Make_PE3_plugins.exe for adding imaging software to Make_PE3 folder to build Portable 7 PE
Run and Extract Make_PE3_plugins.exe in the same way as you did for Make_PE3.exe

Thanks for all the work on this. I am starting to build my own disc and have some issues and i think i may be able to solve them with parts of your script. I will just have to spend some time trying to break it down. I have also made a program to mimic BartPE to build my discs attached is a screen cap of it. I would love to get it working as well as yours.
