Imagex GUI Open Source

Recommended Posts

Hi guys I have a Imagex gui here which I hope you will like.

The whole thing has been re-done all the code has been done in VB6.

This has been tested in vista pe and winpe 2005.

here are a couple of screenshots...

Added different compression types.

As you can see you can Mount Images, extract well do everything that the cmd line imagex can do, as all that the code does is call imagex behind the GUI, The cmd for imagex will be displayed at the botton of the gui for debug.

Anyone that would like to have the source files are welcome please PM me and I will mail you untill I can host them somewhere. The current size is 1.5mb

I have added a place on the front of the gui so that you can place a OEMLOGO.JPG for your company or yourself (I made a mistake and left it at jpg instead of bmp

trtkrom was kind enougth to post the VB6 api calls, I am way out of my depth here with the coding :-(

You do need the following files within the same location..

imagex.exe

intclg.exe

winfltr.ini

winfltr.sys

wimgapi.dll

COMDLG32.OCX

MSCOMCTL.OCX

MSVBVM60.DLL

tabctl32.ocx

and if you want to add your own exclude list...

include a custom Wimscript.ini file

If you would like the Source files then Please PM me and I will send it out. The above ocx and dll files apart from wimgapi are included.

This is all I have at the moment which is a a bit lame as I need to learn a hell of a lot more vb and c++

I would be willing to fund a project if someone can code a proper gui with api calls and a progress bar!

I have included a new attachment but it does not have the MSCOMCTL.OCX or MSVBVM60.DLL due to the size

Okay, a couple of questions. When making a WIM, what is the "Output Folder" as compared to the "Destination Folder"? Will there be an option to use a config file for exclusions? Does it have any dependencies (i.e. you have to have the WAIK installed, etc.)?

Nearly done a new version of this GUI.

I have binned the transparent window.

Added an option for Checkdisk.

And as soon as I have worked out the split wims that will be an option as well.

Was thinking of adding support to intergrate drivers and change HAL type.

any other options reguired?

Once finsihed I will post it.

I didn't get the PM, but can you send me the source code. I could look it a bit. Does it use the wimgapi.dll directly?

I think that the mounting won't work in WinPe, but I'm nota 100% sure about that.

I am going to add the option for the different compressions I think.

The WimInfo button gives you all the info about WIMS in a nice laid out window from the xml output this includes total sizes so I may use this option for the split wims accross CD's /DVD's

The check wim on capture option is the the checkdisk option

I really want to be able to convert the c++ header file for the wimgapi.dll api's to vb6 any takers on this?

what other options would be needed? diskpart GUI to go along side this? map network share? inject drivers option? change hal option?

Awesome work. One question though: If the command line won't work, this won't force it, will it?

<imagex /mount e:\preload\base5.wim 1 c:\vistamount>

returns: The request is not supported.

....why? Please help. I'm desperate

----------------------------------

There's no place like 127.0.0.1.

sorry for the late reply..

I have only got the mount thing working when the waik is installed on your machine.

I will be releaseing a new version which is just about finished.

the finished version and open source will be avaiable later this week.

As before this does not use any API Calls, however I am trying to learn a c++ so that I can use API's from the wimgapi.dll but like like everything trying to learn a new langauge, and exams to study for it may be some time.

But the new version looks plain but works for my Engineers and me.

Here is some code to get you started. I belive this is everything in wimgapi.h and a couple examples. Some tricky ones are the progress bar ones. Wimgapi is multithreaded so you have to create a form + callback for it on the fly to track the progress when using VB6.

where do you get these two files from..

winfltr.ini
