Hi ChrisR,

probably another shortcut.exe fix
can we have a fix for [autorun]
I guess it does not like space paths, (and maybe env. variables too)

following does not work

[autorun]
...
nowait|Resolution|%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Resolution Changer\Resolution.exe

also tested following, does not work too

[autorun]
...
nowait|Resolution|X:\Program Files\Resolution Changer\Resolution.exe

on the other hand, this works

[autorun]
nowait|MultiRes|Y:\Programs\MultiRes\MultiRes.exe

http://www.mediafire...395i2ivbf9769gb

I feel, because of this failure, some workarounds needed in the past which you will remember........

Thanks for SendTo fix

See you.

I can do some changes in AutoIt, but I'm far from being a specialist.


The program shortcuts.exe seems to work fine with autorun and space in paths or env. variables.

If you look in Task Manager, the process Resolution.exe is running, in both cases :

[autorun] 
nowait|Resolution|X:\Program Files\Resolution Changer\Resolution.exe
or
nowait|Resolution|%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Resolution Changer\Resolution.exe

by cons there seems to be an issue with resolution and his tray icon if it is executed before Explorer .

If you kill the process Resolution.exe and ReRun shortcuts.exe with :

Shortcuts.exe -f %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\Win7PE.cfg

in this case resolution.exe working properly and the icon is displayed in the tray (as when running with RunOnce)

MultiRes him, work correctly, executed before or after Explorer, Thanks for the script


I tested shortcuts.exe also with a batch file :

test.bat

echo test >"x:\Program Files\Resolution Changer\test.log"

Win7PE.cfg

[autorun] 
nowait|Resolution|X:\Program Files\Resolution Changer\test.bat
or
nowait|Resolution|%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Resolution Changer\test.bat

It work well here also. Thanks a lot JFX for this great program

Thanks ChrisrR,

in fact, you found the correct issue here.

following configuration file [autorun] defination
http://www.vistape.net/vistape-api.php

Quote

Description of section [autorun]:
Programs for autorun, starts immediately after the default shell is launched....

rest of defination is to me not much important since it seems to me a lot loader dependent which I like using more modular way (penetwork)

can we get autorun section processed, *after shell launched ? which I feel would fix Resolution.exe following your desciption.

In addition:
yes it is a known phenemon (which I totally missed ), when explorer re-starts (or like in above case), some taskbar items disappears (resolution.exe), some come back (multires.exe).
I feel this is about applications, Since such applications normally starts after explorer, some authors can easly overlook (good boy my old friend multires)

Just an idea, Maybe not good one with existing applications scripts .

We can have a new program like shortcuts.exe executed with RunOnce, which starts after the shell.

This new program read and execute the autorun section of cfg file and also the programs from StartUp folder.

In this case the section postconfig would be the last one executed by the program shortcuts.exe and forget the autorun section.

startup would be

.......
CdUsb.exe
"hide /NOCONSOLE /SILENT /WAIT start.cmd"
"Shortcuts.exe -f %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\Win7PE.cfg"
"PinTool.exe -debug %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\Win7PE.cfg"
"X:\Program Files\PEShell\PEShell.exe"
   Explorer.exe (BsExplorer)
      Autorun.exe --> Autorun.cmd
      Runonce --> NewProgram (autorun cfg & StartUp folder)
              --> PeNetwork, ...

Hi ChrisR,

Ignore startup folder (sorry for my previous posts causing confusion), it does not need to be processed since in fact, all startup functions are made by [autorun] , to get multishell compatibiltiy of startup.
With other words, startup is always empty, nothing to process there.

I did not test, but as far as I remember, runonce do not work on waik source builds ??
Yep I know Win7PE SE does not support waik..... but is it possible to produce an overall solution to be used more easly and widely in future (and today) ??

In anyway, Since now you fully understand a well defined case, final decision is up to you.

[ChrisR]

Hi Lancelot,

Yes, you are right, runonce do not work on waik source I think and on some other projects

it would perhaps be a solution for Win7PE_SE but not an overall solution so forget it for now. Just sharing an idea,

Good work on your main focus

[humaxmk1]

Hello,

I´ve build a Win7Pe by your Project and it works very fine!

Now I will copy WinPE to a grub4dos Multiboot USB Stick. The Problem is, that after booting the CD Device is missing and teh Programs Archive is not ready!

1. Test: I copy the ISO to Stick and mount it ...
2. Test: I copy the Archive strukture to stick and boot it (like Harddisk?!)

Everytime the Programs Archive is missing

Can anyone help me?

Sorry for the bad english!

For this condition, I guess you also need to add an empty file with name
CdUsb.Y
to root of stick, let me know if it works.

Here is a solution for this case,
extract following

to
..\Projects\Win7PE_SE\Build\
folder (overwrite previous)
make your build again.......

Good luck.

Hello everyone,

I am a Win7PE_SE newbie but I've managed to get an image of Win7PE_SE working on my target machine. My problem (question) is how do get a program to automatically start after Win7PE_SE boots?

Here is my current script which I've located in the C:\Win7PE_SE_2011_07_22\Projects\Win7PE_SE\Apps\testProgram directory.

[main]
Title=TestProgram
Description=Autostart test program
Selected=True
Level=5
Version=1
NoWarning=False
Download_Level=0

[variables]
%ProgramTitle%=TestProgram
%ProgramEXE%=TestProgram.exe
%ProgramFolder%=TestProgram

[process]
CopyProgram,%ScriptDir%\%ProgramFolder%,%Target_Prog%\%ProgramFolder%
Hive_Load,HKCU
RegWrite,HKLM,0x2,%reg%\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce,"TestProgram","#$q%PE_Programs%\%ProgramFolder%\%ProgramEXE%#$q"
Hive_Unload

The script does not work as TestProgram.exe does not start after Win7PESE boots.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

[Lancelot_Real]

Hi TheKeymaker,

Try
Add_Shortcut,AutoRun

Also check "Script Creator" here http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=178

[TheKeymaker]

@Lancelot_Real.

Thank you for the response. I added Add_Shortcut,AutoRun and that did not work.

Adding "Add_Shortcut,Desktop" and/or "Add_Shortcut,StartMenu" DOES work and when i click on the shortcuts the program launches. So I don't think there is a problem with my program or it's location.

Is there something else I need to do to get a program to automatically start on Win7PE_SE boot up?

Thank you.

Hi TheKeymaker,

try with multires
http://www.entechtai...l/multires.shtm

....
%ProgramTitle%=TestMultiRes
%ProgramEXE%=MultiRes.exe
%ProgramFolder%=TestMultiRes
....
Add_Shortcut,AutoRun

here it works nicely.



Here also another test routine:

Test.cmd

Echo Test
pause

%ProgramExe%=Test.cmd
....
Add_Shortcut,AutoRun





If not secret, what is your "TestProgram" ?
or what is your goal with your TestProgram ???
or do you need special* operations, like we used to do with runonce, or is it only about starting an application like multires......

Since not all are free (I didn't download it so you can check the EULA if you want) I'd use a different option. Only because you posted a mediafire link instead of the original link (like me) plus instructions on how to make the plugin.

[Lancelot_Real]

Yes bad eula,
I changed link on my post 56

Now I need to find another example to be used in future
