Win10XPE Project General Discussions

Win10 XPE STIG lockdown:  Anybody tried it, and if so, any advice ???

I have the latest 1908 .ISO from Microsoft, and the latest GPO object from DISA.MIL

Mind me asking. 1908 is insider build?

Rented fingers.  The May 2019 release .ISO,  1902, maybe ?   I'm walking my way through this from zero.   I need to produce a boot DVD with drivers, certain apps, and a lockdown, for use as a diskless maintenance system.  Already have the Linux boot disk made, but some applications are only available under Windows. . .

1903 is latest from what I know. I was curious if there was a newer release.

no newer Retail Release - but newest preview release supported (works) ...

I just downloaded the latest Win10XPE package dated 09/20/2019 and Windows v1903 ISO for the source.  Before carrying forward personalizations from my previous build, I ran the Win10XPE package as downloaded and booted the resultant flash drive to confirm a functional starting point.  I found that the booted flash drive desktop showed a Recycle Bin on the desktop that was not empty.  It contained identity-v and identity-h files.  I assume these are leftovers from ChrisR's build before he uploaded the latest package.  So I have 2 questions.

As I proceed with bringing forward my previous build personalizations, is there any way to empty the recycle bin before creating the ISO that will be burned to flash drive?

Also, if I want to stay with my previous build using the Win10XPE package from 03/14/2019, can I use the Windows v1903 ISO for the source instead of the v1809 source I have been using?

Those are left over files you deleted from Host HDD while in WinPE Session....
Boot into WinPE - empty Bin- Reboot into WinPE
they should be gone...

Given the date, your package from 03/14/2019 should not be compatble with Windows v1903 ISO. They was not yet released at that time.
In general, it is always better to use the last packet and then adapt it with your own changes

I figured as Much...

"Download" does not like Win10XPE being a SubFolder

As I was Testing %BaseDir% if project extracted as a subfolder...
For which %BaseDir% will result showing Win10XPE as subfolder

PS.. Your Mailbox is Full....

@ChrisR

Error only exists if Base Win10XPE Folder is in a SubFolder

ie \Win10XPE_2019-09-20\Win10XPE

PS: your mailbox is full - so can not reply...

My box is really too small, I emptied it all out.

Does anyone reproduce the problem with "Download" ?
I tried to reproduce the situation but I don't have any trouble with Download here
I downloaded Win10XPE_2019-09-20.7z in E:\Temp folder and extracted in E:\Temp\Win10XPE_2019-09-20 folder
So %BaseDir%=E:\Temp\Win10XPE_2019-09-20\Win10XPE
Without selecting windows 10 ISO, I ran VLC media Player, the VLC-3.0.8 archive has been successfully downloaded
I then selected Win10 1903 x64 ISO and built without any problems for downloads

When reading the Download macro I also don't see any relation with a Win10XPE subdirectory
No idea why you have this anomaly. Error 1 = An unknown error occurred.
For the moment, I haven't had any problems with aria2c yet, it just works fine 

Was able to confirm your tests as both working with subfolders...

was also able to confirm reason or Error = Sub Folder Name with a Space

"H:\New folder\Win10XPE\Win10XPE.exe"

Was playing around and testing yesterday with a New App...

This Method Will Allow Us To Include A Small Utility With Each New Project Release To Allow The Download Of Additional Apps
Thus Keeping The Release As Small As Possible, And Yet Allowing User's A Choice..

Test with New Release Extraction - Place File in utilities


Please Test and Provide Feedback..
Thank You..

I'm surprised I didn't catch it earlier, but I confirm the bug
The quotes are well written except for the aria2c call, correction:

Code: [Select]

ShellExecute,#7,cmd.exe,"/c Echo Downloading #$q#2#$q Please Wait... &%GTools%\aria2c.exe -x16 -s16 --allow-overwrite=true --auto-file-renaming=false -d#$q#8#$q -o#$q#9#$q #$q#2#$q"
==>

It was not an Error on anyone's part
It was a Typo....
 

We do not make Errors - the Keyboard does...
 

Probably not the keyboard's fault either, I suspect the mouse that would have eaten the cables, well that's what the Ukrainians said 

Hi James

re MegaCmd_XPE.Script

tried on a fresh project quickly, all appeared to work fine (just defaults as it came)

btw. noticed FlashPlayer_XPE. script missing some double quotes on ends of lines 134 and 141

Guys thanks for all the hard work.
