Many thanks

I think this looks great.
One little thing I ran in to when testing it, if you try to add drivers that already exist you get the attached error message.

Regards
Martin



Well looks like this has nothing to do with the drivers, rather that the folder PEwork already exists.
line 310 " objfso.CreateFolder(" C:\PEWork" )"

I got this error because I had checked the " Run PE in Ram Disk (Server 2003 SP1 Sources Only)" but not the " Run Oscdimg"

I have fixed the problem with the PEWork folder. If the folder already exists it is now deleted and recreated to ensure that the process completes.

I am working on improving what is here so please keep te suggestions coming.

I know that this post hasnt been up here long, but I thought I might see more feedback than this already. Is this a utility that people dont really need after all? What do you need to make your life easier when customiszing Windows PE or using it in your environment??

Error states that it is line # 239 that is the problem and " Cannot find the file specified" , Lines #236 - 239 follow: 

'  MKIMG Part
			'  Run mkimg		
				'  objWSHShell.Run " CMD.exe /C "  & szmkimgcomponents, 0, TRUE
				objWSHShell.Run szmkimgcomponents, 1, TRUE

Status: offline 		Where I think I am having problems is following directions on this page:

http://myitforum.techtarget.com/articles/15/view.asp?id=8638

specifically what is meant by:

" Copy the windows pe source files"

does this mean the contents of the " WinPE" folder FROM a WinPE 2005 OPK or Corporate copy? I copied the entire contents of the Corporate ISO to Winpe folder...

Trying again - moving windowspe\winpe\winpe to windowspe\winpe

And make sure you download the updated version (see the other post in this forum).

Back when I figure that out!
