Win10XPE Project

I don't get the error with NiniNX or MiniNX!
But okay, it's better as a user's choice, I'll disable it, not patched by default

Build Core ONLY, and Explorer Shell with all the addtion feature unselected. (default Patch the controller.dll)

Build and boot, access \\192.168.56.1\ in Explorer will get error.
But it is good(show Console UI) without Patching the controller.dll, in this build, you modify it to be NiniNX,
also get error.

Ok, thanks 

Build with 2019-09-18, and confirmed it indeed needs both Remote Desktop and Switch to Admin plugins,
otherwise it casues error when access network share folder.

Win10XPE_2019-09-20 update

Rufus: Update v3.8
PinUtil: Update v1.3 Support for Pecmd Syntax Added
binmay: (New) Command Line Binary Search and Replace Tool. It is Placed in the Tools Folder and the Related Scripts are Modified
The "Patch Controller.dll to Get the Credentials Window" Option is now Disabled by Default
Both Remote Desktop and Switch to Admin plugins must also be Enabled

hi ChrisR

thanks for the updates 

yesterday tested Win10XPE_2019-09-18 update & noted that when i kill explorer process he didnt start automatically via task manager (only in admin mode ) but with batch file is ok ...

Hi cretino,

Yes, in the Admin session, explorer is automatically launched at startup by the system, according to the key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon,Shell,explorer.exe

So I don't use SHEL %WinDir%\explorer.exe for Admin
Otherwise the Admin session is opened with an explorer window already open

To keep SHEL explore in pecmd.ini and allow the auto restart, you can try changing like that:
 

Code: [Select]

_SUB LoadShell

//EXEC Y:\Programs\ProcessMonitor_x64\Procmon.exe

// Enable ctfmon: Alternative User Input Text Input Processor (TIP) (Uncommented for Chinese and Korean windows source). Not to be changed, Replace //EXEC by //=EXEC
//EXEC %WinDir%\System32\ctfmon.exe

FIND $%USERNAME%=SYSTEM,SHEL %WinDir%\explorer.exe
//SHEL %ProgramFiles%\WinXShell\WinXShell.exe -winpe

_END

==>

Code: [Select]

_SUB LoadShell

//EXEC Y:\Programs\ProcessMonitor_x64\Procmon.exe

// To Kill explorer auto launched in Admin Session. No impact in the system session, explorer is not started
FIND explorer.exe,KILL explorer.exe

// Enable ctfmon: Alternative User Input Text Input Processor (TIP) (Uncommented for Chinese and Korean windows source). Not to be changed, Replace //EXEC by //=EXEC
//EXEC %WinDir%\System32\ctfmon.exe

SHEL %WinDir%\explorer.exe
//SHEL %ProgramFiles%\WinXShell\WinXShell.exe -winpe

_END

Let me know what you think about, it's maybe better
I'll read you later, I'm going to be busy until Tuesday

hi ChrisR
thank you for the solution , tested and ok for me (beside this harmless screen )

Thanks  ChrisR for a great update 
I have tested with Insider 10.0.18985.1 and everything works like a charm.

I have a few more comments:

1) Can we set %Architecture%=x86 at the beginning? so that we can test some plugin without need of the (DVD) source
2) For the ComputerName: We can move the followings (Config.Script)

Code: [Select]

-RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName,ComputerName,%ProjectName%
-RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName,ComputerName,%ProjectName%
-RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\services\Tcpip\Parameters,"NV Hostname",%ProjectName%
-RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\services\Tcpip\Parameters,Hostname,%ProjectName%
-RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment",ComputerName,%ProjectName%

to ->>>

CoreOptions.Script

Code: [Select]

+  RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName,ComputerName,%ProjectName%
+  RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName,ComputerName,%ProjectName%
+  RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\services\Tcpip\Parameters,"NV Hostname",%ProjectName%
+  RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\services\Tcpip\Parameters,Hostname,%ProjectName%
+  RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment",ComputerName,%ProjectName%
+  RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Tmp_software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion",RegisteredOwner,%ProjectName%
+  RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,"Tmp_software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinPE",SetComputerName,0

Reason: We do not need to write the entries twice to the registry.
(To better see the line numbers of these changes, please check out just some places in this patch: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/texervn/WinBuilder-Addons/master/WBLogs/Win10XPE.patch)

3) For the GWT tool, Attached below we can find a Winbuilder-ish way to get the latest update of ADK.
 Win10Kits_XPE.script (32.95 kB - downloaded 39 times.)

I see someone trying to undo all things XPE with personal development....

Yep, why reinvent the wheel

For the ComputerName, It seemed better to me to do it in 2 steps:
- The default name WIN10XPE in Config with the default project registry saved then in cache
- and to update it, if the option is selected, in CoreOptions like the other options

About GetWaikTool, it does the job well and goes further it seems to me than just downloading
with integrity checks, bcdedit,bcdeboot... v10.10586 for Windows 7 compatibility

Yep, why reinvent the wheel

Not really. I do not know the source of GWT.exe and am just curious about how to handle the updating.

I see your purpose now. Saving cache to make the build faster?

I do not know about this compatibility.

We do not add support for MS Preview Releases - all projects use Official MS Release Media
Although some users are testing with 18990 Preview Release

I've created a very good Win7PE, and I'm going to try an tackle a Win version, but I'm trying to understand how to boot into a USB Boot tool on a computer/laptop running UEFI:"Safe Boot" Enabled, and haven't had much luck getting proper access, I can turn it off and gain access to the USB drive, but the M.2 or SSD internal is not visible. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the Support.

Thank You Chris...

Ditto the thank you Chris...

Your efforts are very appreciated by all and especially so by those of us who use Win10XPE almost daily but barely understand its inner workings.

And James, thanks to you for all your helpful answers within these forums and for the valuable additional plug-ins you provide.

All most appreciated too.
