Hello, slightly off topic but can anyone tell me where I can down the NT6.X fast installer.exe as referred to in pstart (USB_XP_Setup\NT6.X fast installer 091220.EXE)
I have downloaded a 7zip archive (NT6.X_fast_installer_100219.7z) but it does not contain the ...091220.exe that I need.

Hi

Am I right in thinking that there is no HTA support on the Make_PE 3 software. I created my customised boot and its not supported. When I do mount and add it to the boot.wim file and then unmount it doesnt like the following boot up and it errors out just before the windows 7 logo shows up.

If I swap it for the backed up boot.wim it works fine but without HTA support.

Is there another way of updating a customised make_pe 3 boot disk ?

Just to add, I can get a new WinPE3 file created and boot from a USB Hard drive but as soon as I overwrite the files on my current 1TB usb hard drive they will not boot up

Thanks

Dicko

You can try to modify Make_PE3.cmd to give HTA support.

Uncomment the two rules by removal of ":: "

:: Dism.exe /image:"%PEWork%\mount" /Add-Package /PackagePath:"%PETools%\%ARCH%\WinPE_FPs\winpe-hta.cab"
:: Dism.exe /image:"%PEWork%\mount" /Add-Package /PackagePath:"%PETools%\%ARCH%\WinPE_FPs\en-us\winpe-hta_en-us.cab"

Then use Make_PE3.cmd with option 4 to make pe3_x86.iso using WAIK

It was not build in .....

For boot problems try WinContig to make ISO on USB-HDD unfragmented.

EDIT:
Instead of adding HTA Package to pe3_x86.iso you can simply use IE8 Setting in making 7pe_86.iso to give you HTA Support.
When IE8 is added to the build, I can e.g. run WPI
Only adding HTA package did not work for me to run WPI
Change Explorer Setting to IE8 (in cmd use 2x E) and use Option 2

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

• Changed - Audio_Fix is used only to install audio driver and is not needed anymore to fix the registry
  Install of Audio driver is integrated in Driver_Fix.cmd - Thanks to JFX for solving Audio issues
  http://www.911cd.net...ic=23931&st=115
  
• Added - Runscanner to edit Remote Registry - Thanks to paraglider
  
• Added - Video Driver support - Thanks to JFX for list of needed files and for registry key
  http://www.911cd.net...ic=23931&st=119
  
• Added - Boot Images are collected in folder MULTI\images for making MultiBoot CD/DVD (use CD = YES or CD box Checked)
  
• Added - Make_MULTI_ISO.cmd batch program for easy remake of MultiBoot ISO files from folder MULTI for making CD/DVD
  
• Changed - Program Version - latest version is now 2.2

Thanks to JFX for solving Audio issues in 7 PE and giving the working procedure:
Create the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render key on build time
and give access to everyone (SID S-1-1-0) which allows AudioEndpointBuilder in PE to modify the MMDevices key.
http://www.911cd.net...ic=23931&st=115

DriverPack Vista (x86) Graphics A - folder G_A\ATI\4 is used in my case as Win 7 PE x86 video driver
http://driverpacks.n...verpacks/latest

The video driver can be installed after booting with 7 PE ,
but you can add also the video driver folder to Make_PE3\PE3_mod\WIN7_drivers\x86
so that Dism will add the driver to the build 7 PE (extra 12 MB)
In the latter case Driver_Fix.cmd will install the video driver.

Boot Images are collected in folder MULTI\images for making MultiBoot CD/DVD (use CD = YES or CD box Checked)
Adjust the grub4dos boot menu to your needs by editing file menu.lst in folder MULTI
Folder MULTI contains also PStart folder with Portable programs and Snow wallpaper.jpg
You can add Linux Parted Magic pmagic-5.5.iso to folder MULTI\images
http://partedmagic.com/download.html

Add VLC Media Player Portable to your MULTI\PStart\Progs folder
Download from http://portableapps....eo/vlc_portable

The files and structure of folder MULTI is universal and can be used for booting from HDD/USB or CD/DVD
Use ImgBurn to burn CD/DVD from the created MULTI-dd-mm-yyyy.iso files in MULTI_ISO folder.

In case when booting the 7 PE ISO Boot Image with Grub4dos from HDD or USB,
then copy PStart folder and wallpaper.jpg as normal from folder MULTI to root of HDD or USB boot drive

Registry files in Make_PE3_plugins.exe were causing the problem that harddisk drives were invisible in 7 PE
when the required program files for the plugin were not supplied by the user.

I have updated already Make_PE3_plugins.exe to overcome the problem.

Thanks Rootman for solving the issue. :

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

• Added - Enable to see new connected USB drives in My Computer
  - Registry tweak in PE3-USER.reg - Thanks to JFX
  
• Added - HotSwap for Savely Removal of Hardware - Thanks to JFX
  
• Changed - Program Version - latest version is now 2.3

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

Awesome. Themes in WinPE are so great

So...what's the minimum amount of RAM to fire up this bad boy? Is it still 512 MB (like a basic PE build) or is it something north of that?

See WAIK folder Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs
- pe3_x86.iso is made using WAIK for Windows 7, it means packages are used directly from installed WAIK
- 7pe_x86.iso is made without using WAIK, but packages are needed in Packages\x86,
which is auto filled from installed WAIK, or you have to add there the PPPoE package manually.
Additional cab packages can be added to Packages\x86 folder for install in 7pe_x86.iso

I've never been able to successfully get the driver_fix.cmd to run automatically on boot, even making absolutely no changes to the build files. Is there anybody else having this problem?

Network connectivity functions fine after I run Driver Fix, but I'd like to do it automatically so that the only time I need to interact with the system is once network connectivity is fully functional.

A small change of startnet.cmd works for me

In folder Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\x86\Windows\System32
edit startnet.cmd and uncomment by removal of leading :: so that you have

start "Driver Fix PE3 - Wait ...." /wait "%SystemRoot%\System32\driver_fix.cmd"

For the final version this type of scenario will be desired:

Most drivers are installed by driver_fix.cmd at boot and important network services have started,
then Desktop appears and remaining drivers are installed in the background by pnp_fix.cmd

Finally you have 7 PE operating system with all drivers installed and network services are running.
