Hi there.. well thanks for input. yes coffeefiend.. I am aware of all those things The project is 'fun' so I don't mind. You forget however, the bunch of people who have run out of warranty with their manufacturers.. many laptop users which are 'noobs' if I may say so . Also, some of them have screwed up the recovery system etc. This system allows for a total customised experience with all recovery, recovery partitions and boot setup, etc. Windows Backup works.. sure.. but for an end user (noobie) he will store it somewhere o the disks, without the OEM like recoveyr partition storing it in the way they feel safer about. Which this program will do. To other replier.. I do not need any batch to exe converter thank you, and neither to hack .net onto it... I will write native implementations onfor the winpe part. Ye I did ask about .NET but realized it was a dead end in terms of commercial path.

Hi there. I wish to port a win32 application or so to run in wimpe. It is a gui program. It does basically what a bat file and some vbs scripts can do , add .hta and you would have an open source alternative. However, I wish to create a commercial software solution and I am wondering which native APIs I would need, or which code is best to use. For now, I was trying out c++ , win32 applications and/or .NET dependent win32 forms. Can I include .net on my test wimpe to run my program? Is Delphi the way to go? Any input would be nice... I originally planned to release the scripts freely available to thepublic, as it would help countless novices, (re-)creating their recovery partitions, with customised images and fully rebuilt boot manager . push a button and bam, (depending on size of image) anything from 5 mins to 45 mins will have the computer restored, fully integrated drivers, updates, programs, cusomtisations, the lot. Basically a home 'OEM' recovery solution maker. I would appreciate any helpful input on which libraries/sdk's , api's , prog language would be best for this scenario. (again, no scripting solutions are wished for , even if it is a lot easier, as I decided to not go public with source. solar

Hi... May I just point out these programs are useful really ONLY for mass deplyment scenarios and NOT home user single computer deployments. That is, stripping an ISO is good (ok so a GUI for dism is useful). But integrating drivers/LPs all this... is for a home user 200 times easier and time saving just capturing a WIM

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...upBasedRecovery that should help you mate... let me know how it goes.. I think you might be messing up the partition letters though. solar

since Im getting this same error and scenario I wish I knew if indeed it was the autounattend which was theproblem! net time, provide feedback iceangel? cheers. anyway, so I'll try running it wihtout messing with the uninstall then ;/

u know.. when a dev asks for alpha testers and u get problems... it is nice for him/her AND others encountering simmilar problems.. as to HOW you fixed eg. a/the reg problem... itmight give simple insight to the developer in terms of a tweak and/or documentation or others. yet people can go omg when will he have time to update... give somethign back.. cheers
