pdavey -> GUI for windows PE Customisation (5/25/2005 10:13:12 AM)

Guys I am hoping that this GUI will make peoples lives easier for producing custom windows pe builds. It wioll automate the entire process including customisation for you. Please take a look and post back your thoughts on this.

Many thanks

Hi Paul.

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.

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"

Cool - thanks for picking it up - I will fix it later today\tonight and repost a fix :-)

It would be nice if you could use the " Oscdimg Configuration" separate. So you can build a iso from a winPE folder.

Ok - a good suggestion. I will consider this - it wont be too hard at all to amend functionality to offer this.




pdavey -> RE: GUI for windows PE Customisation (5/26/2005 12:38:58 PM)

OK NEW VERSION

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??



gfincher -> RE: RE: GUI for windows PE Customisation (6/2/2005 1:17:22 PM)

This looks promising! But... loaded folders appropriately (I think!) w/WinPE2005 & Server 2k3 SP1, but when I try to build, it dies with following error as shown in image.

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

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

Yep you have it in one - sorry if it wasnt too clear.

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



gfincher -> RE: RE: RE: RE: GUI for windows PE Customisation (6/2/2005 2:23:11 PM)

I may have other problems! I tried to run mkimg.cmd by itself in the " old" way, and... it died trying to read config.inf that I haven' t touched!

Back when I figure that out!

gfincher -> RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: GUI for windows PE Customisation (6/3/2005 4:27:39 PM)

Just an update - my mkimg problems were permissions - I have recently switched to running as a Limited User, and apparently permissions to the variuos folders were killing me

L8tr..
