I'm booting WinPE 2.0 from a DVD right now. In the windows/system32 directory, i've added a file called begin.bat. I'm trying to get begin.bat to autorun after the DVD boots and the default winPE shell is loaded.

In winpeshl.ini, I've put the following code:

[LaunchApps]
begin.bat

Since i'm posting here, this obviously doesn't work. Any suggestions on what i can do?

Have you tried with

cmd /C begin.bat.

.bat isn't a true executable format. It needs cmd to handle it

Try AppPath = %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\Begin.bat

That is what works for me.

Post your begin.bat file.. That may shed some light on it.
Also try changing your winpeshl.ini to reflect something simple like cmd.exe or the like to ensure it is not another problem with your build.
