Win10XPE Project General Discussions

Hi LittlePro

( To switch to Admin by default, I have configured the selection time as 0 seconds & Assigned the answer 'NO' to 'CALL ADMIN' )

To always switch to Admin without the Yes/No question, configured the selection time as 0 seconds is enough, do it in Build Core, Additional Options

hi ChrisR

tested  Mozilla Firefox Quantum ESR - XPE Plugin ( thank you)

I fixed it in Macro.script by using "StrFormat,REPLACE,#2,&,^&,#4" and used #4 for the Echo. It gives

Tested the FFQ-ESR and everything is good. Regarding to the Echo, we can put quotes around url:

PS: We can change Macro.script (line 313) to have a nicer download echo:
ShellExecute,#7,cmd.exe,"/c Echo Downloading #2 Please Wait...
-->
ShellExecute,#7,cmd.exe,"/c Echo Downloading #$q#2#$q Please Wait...

Hi APT & ChrisR,
Greets,

1.Thanks for the quick & prompt response!

2.DISM++ Plugin : DISM++ latest versions have a little bug. They are missing the icon for the functionality of Activation Backup. I followed one of my seniors to just add ActiveBackup an empty folder to the DISM++ extracted folder & it was all well.
Here I found that the plugin for DISM++ depends on the download from the official site. Since the original source is buggy the plugin here is also buggy.

3.AOMEI Partition Assistant Plugin : There is a little strange thing with this plugin ( though not alarming! ). When I boot into the PE & launch this plugin / app, the graphical look changes as if i have switched from Normal to Safe Mode ( not that bad as Safe Mode though! ) & the look come back to normal only on next boot!

Thanks & Regards. ...

Regarding to the Echo, we can put quotes around url:

ShellExecute,#7,cmd.exe,"/c Echo Downloading #$q#2#$q Please Wait...

Yes I'll take it  the quotes are displayed but it's safer and really easier than managing all characters to be escaped

@LittlePro
If you would, please enable FSCapture App, and attach pic of your (SafeMode) appearance with PA..
Here I do not get a different looking App Interface..
Although I use Ram Build 0 so not sure why would be any different with USB Build

Yep, it's quick and easy

AMPA will check the shortcut name on the desktop and will refresh it with a different name if needed.
I'm not sure the following will help your case: Try to avoid renaming the shortcut
(Insert right below line #69:)

Code: [Select]

Set,%AppVersion%,""
Retrieve,Fileversion,%Sapp%\%ProgramEXE%,%AppVersion%
StrFormat,Left,%AppVersion%,3,%AppVersion%
Set,%ProgramTitle%,%ProgramTitle% %EditionKey_ScrollBox% Edition %AppVersion%

@James: It seems that AMPA has changed the ampa driver reg:

Code: [Select]

[Add_Registry]
Echo,"Writing Registry Values"
RegHiveLoad,Tmp_System,%RegSystem%
RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\services\ampa,Type,1
RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\services\ampa,Start,3
RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\services\ampa,ErrorControl,0
RegWrite,HKLM,0x2,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\services\ampa,ImagePath,\??\X:\Windows\system32\ampa.sys
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\services\ampa,DisplayName,ampa
//RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\services\ampa\Enum,0,Root\LEGACY_AMPA\0000
//RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\services\ampa\Enum,Count,1
//RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\services\ampa\Enum,NextInstance,1
RegHiveUnLoad,Tmp_System

I fail to see the correlation between the Shortcut name and the launch of the program.exe

I see the desktop shortcut being remaned..  So to follow renaming - insert at line 95   

Code: [Select]

Set,%AppVersion%,""
StrFormat,Left,%ProgramVersion%,3,%AppVersion%
Set,%ProgramTitle%,%ProgramTitle% %EditionKey_ScrollBox% Edition %AppVersion%

Thanks James for the correction.

By the way, I post a python script to convert inno setup script into CopyR command used in Winbuilder.

Just in case someone wants to use it...

* edit

@LittlePro

Sorry for the delay.

To say again : Things seem to work quite fine with AOMEI PA & Others And its not a serious problem at all!
But of course : The Desktop & ICON looks change a little after launching the app till the next boot.

The advice to insert those lines @ 95th made no changes.

The two snaps Before & After :





Thanks & Regards. ...

Are you integrating your display driver ????
as your display is changed and you lost the System Tray...

I see the desktop shortcut being remaned..  So to follow renaming - insert at line 95   

Code: [Select]

Set,%AppVersion%,""
StrFormat,Left,%ProgramVersion%,3,%AppVersion%
Set,%ProgramTitle%,%ProgramTitle% %EditionKey_ScrollBox% Edition %AppVersion%

Not sure where I got line 95 from - was on laptop...
Insert at line 84

I have an interesting problem to solve: several of them, in fact    My plan is to use Win10 XPE to build boot DVDs for network troubleshooting.  We have a mix of gear on  the network, and sometimes need a Linux box, and other times a Windows box.  So, came to the idea of diskless laptops with multiple boot DVDs, so I don't need 2 or more laptops, just boot the OS our engineer needs in the field.

The first problem, is some of the gear needs a specific certificate and extension installed: know I can pre-install multiple browsers via XPE scripts, but any tips on adding additional files and app settings ??

Second problem is a requirement on some boxes, for older versions of Java.  The current XPE list shows the most current Java, but is there an archive of older versions, or do I have to roll it myself ??

but any tips on adding additional files and app settings ??

Adding Windows System Files - is pretty easy ..
App Settings - depend on the App - most are either via a Registry Entry or via Configuration file(s)

The current XPE list shows the most current Java, but is there an archive of older versions, or do I have to roll it myself ??

Java support is rather new... Although you may be able to adapt current script to an Older Version...
But would have to ask is not the Newer Version backwards compatible ??

On Java, the short answer is finicky ancient equipment which hasn't been recapitalized in god knows how long. . .  but will try.  Experimenting on the home box this weekend. . .

1.

Are you integrating your display driver ????
as your display is changed and you lost the System Tray...

Sir,
I did nothing with the drivers.
But I have switchable graphics on the laptop i.e. two graphic cards : Intel on board & AMD one. Could that be ?

Insert at line 84 :

StrFormat,Left,%ProgramVersion%,3,%AppVersion%
Set,%ProgramTitle%,%ProgramTitle% %EditionKey_ScrollBox% Edition %AppVersion%

I will give this a try & Report.
