Hello,

I've been trying to get Lenovo BIOS tools to work on 8.1SE x64, however, my 'friends' at lenovo only produce x86 products.
So, I thought: well, this project includes SysVol64, so it must be supporting these programs... but it does not.

Is there something that i fail to see, or is it just bad luck and gtfo...

The reason Why i need this to work is the fact that SecureBoot and UEFI does not support x86 boot images, and since those are the devices that I need to configure... well, it's pretty self-explanatory

Please help me, cause I am running into a wall of things I don't know about :)

The program that i am trying to run is winaia.exe, a tool that can change certain options in the bios script wise.
We have succesfully used this tool on winpe2 and 3, but all 32bits.
