Thanks to Holger. 

For some reason the new penetwork x86 ceased determined : vmxnet.inf ?

hmm, installing of network drivers no longer works with 0.57 

ER: SetupDiEnumDriverInfoW: 1784

first test for me and same problem with PeNetwork 0,57 x86
installing of network drivers no longer seems to work
No network card detected

ER: SetupDiEnumDriverInfoW: 259
ER: SetupDiEnumDriverInfoW: 1784

It seems to work better in x64

I continue the messenger :
thanks to you both for device detection bug report 

_____________________________________

Hi ChrisR


PeNetwork x64 - no drivers working definition

Hi Chris,

an idea is add following to penetwork.script

PNV_ScrollBox="PeNetwork Latest",1,4,314,2,113,21,"PeNetwork 0.5.6","PeNetwork Latest"
but requires lots of changes...........

so I feel it would be much more easier
(easier to adjust, update, edit, maintain.... etc. etc. -> life be less complex  )
to rename current penetwork.script to penetwork056.script ( and Title=PENetwork 0.5.6=
and
new penetwork.script (current one) with adding latest penetwork ;)

so comparisions and tests would be much more easier by everyone 

Hi Lancelot,

(easier to adjust, update, edit, maintain.... etc. etc. -> life be less complex  )

so comparisions and tests would be much more easier by everyone 

Good idea
I updated the current PENetwork script in Win7PE_SE (good for users and testers), pending for new Holger's script with :
- Penetwork v0.57.2 inside and last language files. Politecnico di Torino has updated PENetwork_Ita.lng and I have updated PENetwork_Fr.lng.
- Delete old lang folder,
- Commented out configdot3svc.cmd for wifi seems no longer needed, thanks JFX   
http://w7pese.cwcodes.net/Projects/Win7PE_SE/Components/penetwork.script

The old PENetwork script was kept on the server and renamed in penetwork056.script (disabled by default).

Published version update v.057.2 of PENM:
- Fixed: (again) wrong device detection in 64bit cause of structure size problem in SP_DRVINFO_DATA and SP_DRVINFO_DETAIL_DATA - thanks to 'Fryquez' for bug report

I could now update Gena with 0.57.2,
but could not test, besides hoping all ok 

@JFX

Can you check if bug at adding driver files for x64
( PENetwork.exe /drvcopy )
fixed on Genax64 builds ?
(you can easly test with latest Penetwork plugin on Gena server, all ready for such test  )

following history notes, x64 sys files were not copied on previous version (0.56)....

I also feel:
PENetwork.exe /drvcopyx64
PENetwork.exe /drvcopyx86
PENetwork.exe /drvcopyia64
might be better to get PENetwork.exe distinguish right sys files where folder contains both sys files......
What you think ?

 

UAC detected as enabled - aborting project build

I does work, but you need to add a /x64 to the end of commandline 

 

Thanks a lot

UAC detected as enabled - aborting project build

 
Basic->PrepPE-->Advanced GUI==>"Abort build if UAC enabled"

You know neither me nor Galapo use nt6x,
we are far away from being experienced on nt6x uac behaviours,
and do not know exact points where UAC is trouble...

What you think,
"Abort build if UAC enabled" default selected false ?
but which conditions requires UAC disabled ?
imdisk installation/usage ?
and/or ?

( ehmmm, quite out of topic, you can reply elsewhere)

I does work, but you need to add a /x64 to the end of commandline 

yippi, Thanks,
a mini last touch verify ,
you mean:
for Source x86

ShellExecute,Hide,%ProjectTemp%\PENetworkDrvCopy\PENetwork.exe,"/drvcopy #$q%pFileBox1%#$q #$q%target_win%#$q%value%"

for Source x64

ShellExecute,Hide,%ProjectTemp%\PENetworkDrvCopy\PENetwork.exe,"/drvcopy #$q%pFileBox1%#$q #$q%target_win%#$q%value% /x64"

 

for Source x86

ShellExecute,Hide,%ProjectTemp%\PENetworkDrvCopy\PENetwork.exe,"/drvcopy #$q%pFileBox1%#$q #$q%target_win%#$q%value%"

for Source x64

ShellExecute,Hide,%ProjectTemp%\PENetworkDrvCopy\PENetwork.exe,"/drvcopy #$q%pFileBox1%#$q #$q%target_win%#$q%value% /x64"

Yes, correct

- Fixed: Wrong declined variable

The translation of the last three lines of PENetwork_Es.lng

RadioOSFont   ="Usar el tipo de letra del SO para la interfaz (es necesario reiniciar)"
RadioFont   ="Usar este tipo de letra"

Thanks Holger for the new PENetwork version 0.59.Beta 2 

Here is Win8pese, Win8.1se plugin with the choice betwwen PENetwork v0.58.2 or latest version v0.59.B2.
 penetwork.7z (3450.77 kB - downloaded 226 times.)

I successfully tested the Profile applying on first startup on Win8.1SE with the network already started 

Edit: translation of the last three lines of PENetwork_Fr.lng

RadioOSFont   ="Utiliser de la police par défaut de l'OS pour l'interface (le redémarrage est requis)"
RadioFont   ="Utiliser la police suivante"
ChkIcons   ="Charger les icones de l'interface à partir du fichier ini (le redémarrage est requis)"

Great, thanks a bunch for the new script, ChrisR! 

Oh, by the way... sure that it's
"Charger les icones ..."
and not
"Charger les icônes ..."

Just out of curiosity, I didn't verify myself ...

Yes it's better with ô
J’ai toujours été un peu fâché avec les accents circonflexes 

Thanks Holger,

I updated plugin on Gena server 
all things [Process-Infs] [Process-Drivers] done with v0.59 B2  now 

**

I will be glad if someone tell me which drivers required for VirtualBox network operational on Gena, I feel it changed !?!? since
Gena\Drivers\3 Network\VirtualBox / VMWare Network Driver

does not work for VirtualBox anymore ........
