Is that what the "Scripting" in Winbuilder is used for? I need to maintain 3 variations of my LiveOS and I also need to provide a copy of the builds to a second tech.

I have simply copied the entire WinBuilder folder and the source folders to a new computer.  The main issue I've had is that the paths are incredibly deep and a drag and drop may fail. I use a sync utility named Synchback Pro and it seems to be able to copy excessively long paths without error.

As long as the target system has the same path to the source and any TEMP variables and so forth it should work fine. Also, if you happen to have some oddball plugin that uses some installed software on the PC it will also have to be installed on the  target PC as well - these are few and far between.

It is only used for building projects around TheOven.org, SE and Gena.
 If you have other LiveOS distributions, it is not related.
 

If you want copy SE and Gena project to another location,
Better first use "Clean Temporary File" button available on all projects that will decrease size.
SE\Main Configuration\"Clean Temporary File" button -> right top
Gena\CampPE\"Clean Temporary File" -> right top

copying to another pc, better pack all to single archive with uncompressed 7z/zip

You can transfer to any other folder on any other pc,
Everything will continue work smoothly during your builds (big blue)  :great:

What about running from a Network folder location?  Right now I run it all from my secondary internal SSD (V:), if i move this all over to a network folder an then run winbuilder from there will it maintain all the same paths no matter what computer I run from?

Appears to not be able to mount the .wim, not sure why this is any different then local though.  The network drive is mapped and all paths are done through the mapping.

when you ask a question and get winning responses like this, there is not much point in contributing.  You can deflect the issue all you want but the history of this forum speaks for itself, silly me for thinking that may have changed.

yet again another old guy, with same behaviour, lazy and wants everything ready and even do not like free ones.

silly me

I Fully agree

thinking that may have changed.

hard working developers do not change, like lazy people you.

I agree with you, do not go to any development forum :thumbsup:
 There are some other general forums that you can chat with some others providing google links  :great:

Never see you again, who ever you are.
