Hi, I can't find the WMI Support under Basic/Shells/Core/1 System. I need it for Crystal Disk Info in order to run.

Hi gendouhydeist,

we have a wmi plugin on Gena, but it is beta and is not enough to run "Crystal Disk Info"

Well wmi for very good reason not take much interest for years, since it greatly slows down boottime,
and generally wmi applications known to be "lazy coded" applications  :wink: that look good on interface
(since developer have more time to improve interface  :lol:)
hence there is always a better alternative by better developers......

Check alternative applications around that give you the hd-info you are looking for,
Some ideas:
Apps\HD Tasks\Diagnostic\MiTeC System Information
I did not test, but check
Everest Home Edition http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/Everest-Home-Edition.shtml
Aida32 http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/AIDA.shtml
Siw http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.php
Things around here http://www.portablefreeware.com/?p=6&sc=86
etc.

 :cheers:

Ok thanks for the alternatives, anyways in Yomi Ghost L Additions. How can I add shortcut to startup?
Add_Shortcut,StartMenu,"Startup","%PE_Programs%\%ProgramFolder%\ghost32.exe","Ghost Session",,"-Z9 -Sure -wa -rb -span -JA=ghost"

is this the right syntax?

It doesn't create shortcut on startup, is it because of we didn't apply the location of the exe?

"Ghost L Additions" provides required info about the location of the exe, probably you are mistaken elsewhere....

just retested, works on Gena and Win7PE SE :thumbsup:
Enable both
"Ghost L" "Ghost L Additions"
be sure on both "Run default" selected (matches)

If you can't figure out, provide a log of build (Basic\PrepPE->Create Support Log)

It works perfectly now, but is there anyway to delay it or wait for Gena PENetwork to initialize first so that the Ghost Session could initialize Ghostcast without having errors?

Use sleep.exe, available here

http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=52.0

I guess
Code: [Select]
sleep.exe 10
would be giving 10 seconds delay

+
create Ghost.cmd for your task, add Ghost.cmd (+sleep.exe) to your provided files folder
+
on "Ghost L Additions" I guess this will work (not tested now)
Code: [Select]
Set,%ProgramExe%,Ghost.cmd
Add_Shortcut,AutoStart,,,"Ghost Session"
:cheers:

Tip:
for same reason, we also use delay with sleep.exe on
\Apps\Network\Remote Connect->Ultra VNC (server option)
\Apps\Network\Remote Connect->VNC (server option)
 :cheers:
