AOMEI Backupper Standard

Hi KYHI,

Mark, what the deal with Pro, what else is required? License? Key?

It doesn't require any license or key. If it is running in PE. I think extra investigation
is required as the pro version uses the same exe in kbits size to run the program. I tried
doing the same with AOMEI Partition Pro but it asked for a license and it didn't seem
to add an additional features.

%ProgramFolderR%=AOMEI
%ProgramFolderS%=Backupper
%ProgramFolder%=%ProgramFolderR%\%ProgramFolderS%

what is up with the sub folders vs
%ProgramFolder%=AOMEI Backupper
%ProgramFolder%\Pro
%ProgramFolder%\Beta
%ProgramFolder%\Free

location
%ProvideFiles%=%GlobalTemplates%\Program_Files\%ProgramSourceFiles%
%ProvideFiles%=%GlobalTemplates%\%ProgramSourceFiles%

Size setup exe files are different sizes - so something is different, missing or not working in pro


Your pro download would appear if working in PE to install default unregistered version (free version)

AOMEI_Backupper_Test.script

Version 11 is v2.2 > known, tested and working
Version 13 is v2.5 > Beta, known, tested and working

Size setup exe files are different sizes - so something is different, missing or not working in pro

Backupper.exe file located in the directory folder is 5.12 MB (5,373,144 bytes) in Pro and Standard.
Backupper.exe file located in the directory folder is 5.38 MB (5,649,112 bytes) in Beta.

Your pro download would appear if working in PE to install default unregistered version (free version)

That is my take on it but in the help and version.ini it shows up as Professional?

I have customized Lancelots latest script, but just like having more sub-folders.

Hi Mark,

no need to focus on sub-sub folders for AOMEI,
 it is very rare thing we do on plugins.. (so far I remember Acronis plugins !)
  you can check lines at Acronis plugins to see how %ProgramFolder% %ProgramFolderR% %ProgramFolderS% etc. re-organised for Acronis..
   Just use "CTRL+F" , and "Copy-Paste", there is no magic, only small practice...



instead, for different versions of AOMEI on same build at a sub sub folder (who would need such things !)
  it is much easier to change %ProgramFolder% (and %ProgramFolderx64%) vairables on plugin, at some early lines,


if blabla ,Begin
Set,%ProgramFolder%,%ProgramFolder%_Beta
Set,%ProgramFolderx64%,%ProgramFolderx64%_Beta
End

if gulugulu,Begin
Set,%ProgramFolder%,%ProgramFolder%_Alpha
Set,%ProgramFolderx64%,%ProgramFolderx64%_Alpha
End

if bilibili,Begin
Set,%ProgramFolder%,%ProgramFolder%_Full
Set,%ProgramFolderx64%,%ProgramFolderx64%_Full
End



and even above to me not required,
 since in real life one would need only 1 version of AOMEI on PE.

it would be only good for your learning about plugin writing, it is always good to practice to learn 

Anyway, let us know when new "full" version out 

Also,

at
Utils\PC Provide Files (Plugin Creator Provide Files)

choosing
"MultiArch - SameExe - DifferentFolder - SubExeFolder"

and inspecting plugin may help to figure out..


if you want to figure out !!!!

See FAQ http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=834.0
Q: I request blabla ?

Running your Download - I got 3 setup exe files all different names and sizes - when you purge the cache - the setup exe have to re-download..

You already point to different setup.exe > so not need to purge

the backupper you are referring to is the program.exe and size..

you are allowing the script to run the extract and place the files in the program group..

run the pro setup manually and compare files and licence requirements..

Code: [Select]

If,Not,ExistFile,%Target_Prog%\%ProgramFolder%\AmCore.dll,Begin
  If,%SourceArch%,Equal,x86,If,ExistFile,%ProvideFiles%\x86\AmCore.dll,FileCopy,%ProvideFiles%\x86\AmCore.dll,%Target_Prog%\%ProgramFolder%
  If,%SourceArch%,Equal,x64,If,ExistFile,%ProvideFiles%\x64\AmCore.dll,FileCopy,%ProvideFiles%\x64\AmCore.dll,%Target_Prog%\%ProgramFolder%
  If,Not,ExistFile,%Target_Prog%\%ProgramFolder%\AmCore.dll,ExtractFile,%ScriptFile%,AmCore,AmCore.dll,%Target_Prog%\%ProgramFolder%

this is a script note that may have something to do the PRO registration not popping up

> " The Standard free AmCore.dll registration dll seems sufficient "

seems to me you would want to stop the above registration process to install pro (at least for now, until that is figured out)

Please rename your script to TEST and not Version.. Thank You

And since you also brought up another thing about ( file location and purge as on DD script x86 and x64 folders) remember you are creating scripts for IDK and need to allow for a measure of IDK safety - you can mod your own script for your desired effect... but think of public release and issues of general confusion..

It is easier to tell somebody to go to folder - aomei backupper pro\

then go to aomei \ backupper \ pro

one folder to point to rather then three folders to point to..

I try to explain this to IDK Public - every day - and I am very aware of the IDK confusion it creates..

Just a note > the current 2.2 script downloads version 2.8 standard > as the file download uses the same url, but the version has been updated by Aomei
the only noticed difference is the MD5 Hash which has been updated in this script.. Other then the hash no other changes have been made to script, as Aomei updated the actual setup file download version

interesting find about 2.8 if you select the x86 version of backupper.exe > it loads without trial expired message and the "About" splash screen shows 2.8


But if you select the x64 version > it asks for a key or upgrade and the "About" splash screen shows 2.2


The script uses the files in the x64 folder for x64 builds > the exe properties show as version 2.8 although the splash shows as 2.2

I have been playing with this and the results are for a host x64 PC and the shortcut to the exe is for the x86 version even though it is a x64 pc..

All I can say is something isn't right and why even have a x64 version included in the files, if it requires a key..
Afraid to upgrade to Pro if this is how the free version works

Aomei is a great backupper, but I think they're making things unnecesarily complicated with the PE versions and "license checks".

I've asked about this on their support forum, and they told me at that time that newer versions would remove the check, but as far as I can tell, nothing's changed.
I can make the programs work in PE, but I think they could make things a lot easier for everybody if they just took the last little step and make this fully "portable" (like eg. Drive Snapshot, Active@, Terabyte, etc.)

I'm interested in your findings KYHI, but until I hear from somebody that the stupid "expired" screen has been removed, I'll pass on (newer) Aomei versions for a while...
Maybe ChrisR will have some sort of revelation when he's taking his summer holiday (like it was last year, I believe)...
(but that's not fair, it's not ChrisR who needs the revelation, but the Aomei people).

problem is it uses the same download URL as the prior version.. So unless you provide the older version - 2.8 is what you get..

or we need the script to kick the x64 to the curb..

The version in the help on the x64 indicates 2.2 and x86 indicates 2.8.
If you install the program from using the same download URL and install
it on the Host computer it installs it to the Program Files (x86). If you use
their Utility program to create a PE (ampe.iso) it will create a 64 bit Program.
After running their PE it shows in the help as version 2.8. I've tried using the
AmCore.dll from the PE (ampe.iso), but didn't change anything. 
Maybe ChrisR will have some sort of revelation as Atari800xl said.

There is a New Version 3.1
and I found the issue with Aomei in x64 PE not displaying the menu or correct program version...

Hi guys,

I'm building a PE with the latest AOMEI Backupper Standard v3.5 and found a bug on the AOMEI Backupper Standard (G) plug-in v.12

On the line that writes the UpperFilters on the registry there is an extra "," without the filter the program can't do backups

Code: [Select]

Call,RegMultiSZ,Append,,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{71A27CDD-812A-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F},UpperFilters,ambakdrv

The extra "," between Append and Tmp_System needs to be removed.

After the correction I can confirm that the 3.5 version of the program works fine.

Thanks Rui Paz

quickly updated both plugins on server 

Thanks Lancelot
