Hi kornnuts,
Welcome,
I moved your topic to Win7PE SE section...
your above log with Windows 7 workstation, and it says "something" preventing builder make a hive load.....
as it says:
"Builder do not have permission to Load Hives - Build Halts. Exiting..."
I do not use Win7host, but I use XP host, and never had such a trouble yet.
Maybe an AntiVirus causing this, or !!! ??? When you figure out let us know ?
Also, here is a plugin to put your \Projects\Win7PESE\Utils\ (overwrite previous one)
