Now I have 2 all white boxes that pop up with nothing on them when I load the image. I have the HTA, Scripting, Legacy Setup packages added to the image. Does anybody know what code is changed in 3.0? Need Help to get this to work.

Thanks

I've not used this HTA before, but I know I had to make some VBScript changes in mine to work with WinPE 3.0. I'm not sure what would need to be changed in this one.

Ok,

I just switched to winpe 2.0 instead of 3.0. But now I am getting the access denied problem when I call my .hta file from the mapped drive cmd.exe /c Mshta.exe z:\wizard.hta. Did anyone ever solve this problem? I do not want to use the X: system drive. I prefer to stick with the mapped network drive for editing purposes.

I found the solution in another thread to the access denied problem but now I have an all white .hta file that comes up on my winpe image.

You are likely battling network permissions. I never tried to run an HTA from a network share. Use a USB key (or WDS) to have your boot image on, so you can easily mount and edit it.

I was able to get the .hta file to work over the network except for the information in my .htm files does not show up. I created the files using excel and saved them as html files in my ghost images directory. All the category buttons show up and the radio button show up but the information in the .htm files does not show up on the side when I click one of my radio buttons. It just give an script error message and asks if I would like to continue. Any ideas on what's wrong?

I'd be scared to see the source of an html file made in Excel.

Your first step is to start with the script error. What does it say?

It just states that there was an script error and that the script could not run. The error was not specific.

Well in that case, I'd recommend you use some other type of editor to work with your HTA file. I can see WinPE may have a lot to complain about with code like that.

Can HTAs work properly if they are lauched from a mapped network drive? When I launch my HTA file from the local machine everthing works perfectly but nothing works when I launch it from a mapped drive.

Back to this again? If you want to keep your HTA on the network drive, that's fine. Try copying it to the RAMDISK and run it from there.

hi,

Maybe this post is old, but he deserves to be reviewed.

I tried to reproduce the same, but without success, I get an error at this line:

For Each objFile in colFileList

I suspicion this piece of code :

Set colFileList = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Associators of {Win32_Directory.Name='z:\\winpe\\" & fileName & "'} Where " & "ResultClass = CIM_DataFile")

"colFileList" is not a collection
When i use MsgBox to display it's contents (filename) i get " & fileName & "

Thank you for help

I'll agree. The WMI code is suspect because it is written expecting it to work 100% of the time. For example, there is no check to see if the data collected is an object, or is an array.

Did you install the WMI package into your WinPE? Are you using WinPE 2.0 like the OP has this coded for?

There is some changes to how VBScript is handled between WinPE 2.0 and WinPE 3.0, this I ran into when I updated my HTA as well. The changes aren't documented as far as I know.

Hi,
Tested on online OS (W7) and I think that's enough.

Set colFileList = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Associators of {Win32_Directory.Name='z:\\winpe\\" & fileName & "'} Where " & "ResultClass = CIM_DataFile")

If I understand this code, The Win32_Directory.Name is directory class and the return type is file so it don't work. I tried some other stuff without success.
If someone has successfully make it work, (keeping the same idea) thank you in advance for clarification.

I would disagree. There are way too many differences between WinPE 3.0 and Windows 7 to rely on testing on a live OS to be enough.

Thank you very much to all for your information, especially Keythom, this is just what I needed.
I've configured everything with WinPE 3.0 and works properly, about the restart after the ghost, the problem is that the path should be of MS-DOS, there are two options or leave the ghost in a shorter route or put the path type ms-dos, I've configured with the second option and I've added a small vbs as showing a message over and press OK to restart the computer.

strTaskValue = "cmd /C x:\progra~2\ghost\ghost32.exe" & " -clone,mode=restore,src=" & Chr(34) & Radio.Id & ".gho" & Chr(34) & ",dst=1,sze1=30000M,sze2=V -sure " & chr(38) & " z:\WinPE\mensaje.vbs" & chr(38) & " wpeutil reboot"
