I'm trying to add GImageX using the plugin creator.  They released a new version this year based on 1803, so I wanna put it in.  But it keeps telling me this:

 

ExeName NOT FOUND
 -> No icon Created
 --> Plugin will work but Shortcuts will not work
 
Solution Ideas:
 * Do not pack folder
 * Use: Enable 'Point Folder' : button 
 
The entire program is just a packed EXE file.  I have tried doing it zipped as a 7z and just the exe.  Same result saying the exe name is not found.  however you can go into file container, edit and see the exe as an attachment in the file container.

 

Probably doing something dumb, but can't figure out why I get this error.  Anyone help why this isn't working?

If using downloaded zip file as container file

the EXE to use would be>  x86\gimagex.exe

as the program.exe is in a subfolder

OR
extract the downloaded ZIP file and compress the contents of the x86 and x64 folders

OR
combine the 2 program.exe(s) into one compressed folder

then define ProgramEXEx64=

Adding both EXE to same ZIP worked.  I added it as x86 in the plugin creator, then edited and specified the programexex64= just as you mentioned and typed the exact file name for the x64 version (gimagex_x64.exe).

This time it added the plugin without the EXE not found error.  Thanks for the help on that.

However when building the ISO, I get the following error in log:

ExtractFile - Failed to expand file:

Any ideas?

Hi mbstech

It's hard to tell without a bit more, but try %GTemp% instead of Temp maybe?

Hey APT,

I'll provide whatever you need (you said you needed a bit more), just tell me what you need.  The entire script?  The entire log?

Sorry, I am super new to this winbuilder but I did read the quick start guide multiple times and have done a bit of researching and reading.

Hi mbstech

well, the log and/or script would be fine, but did you try %GTemp%\GImageX  first?

BaseDir\temp = Gtemp
so that is correct...

But could not extract " BaseDir\temp\Gimagex "
as I believe it is a Variable Not Properly Set...

Code: [Select]
%ProgramTitle%=gimagex
%ProgramExe%=GimageX.exe
%ProgramExex64%=GimageX_x64.exe
%ProgramFolder%=gimagex
%SetupFile%=gimagex.7z
%SetupFilex64%=gimagex.7z
%FileContainer%=%ScriptDir%\gimagex_XPE_File.Script

Due To
Code: [Select]
[PluginSetx64]
Set,%SetupFile%,%SetupFilex64%
Set,%ProgramExe%,%ProgramExex64%
Set,%ProgramFolder%,%ProgramFolder%_x64

Or what I would do if both "program.exe" in same "SetupFile"
Remove both Stricken Code Lines

%SetupFilex64%=gimagex.7z

Set,%SetupFile%,%SetupFilex64%

This May be very Helpful To You

First off, I wanna apologize for the days of no response.  I have been busy and honestly have been doing a lot of testing and tweaking on my own to see if I could figure out my issues without bothering you geniuses.

If using downloaded zip file as container file

the EXE to use would be>  x86\gimagex.exe

as the program.exe is in a subfolder

OR
extract the downloaded ZIP file and compress the contents of the x86 and x64 folders

OR
combine the 2 program.exe(s) into one compressed folder

then define ProgramEXEx64=

James,

I appreciate the help, I did a lot of things, scratched everything, started over from scratch, etc.  But you got me on the right path.  I was trying to add x86 and x64 both at the same time with both exe's in a zip file in different folders. (maybe this is possible but I couldn't get it to work).  So I did what you suggested but with a bit of a tweak.  I added only the x64 version in a zip by itself and it worked fine.


Hi mbstech

well, the log and/or script would be fine, but did you try %GTemp%\GImageX  first?

regards APT

APT, I wasn't sure what you meant by changing the temp directory when you first sent it, then after I got GImageX working, I seen your private message explaining it.  Sorry for the late response.

Hi mbstech,

which project are you trying to create plugin for ?
* Win10PESE ?
* Win10XPE ? --> you are at current section of this project but after reading topic I feel you are creating plugin to another project !
* or ?



:turtle:

Lancelot,

I am 100% using the Win 10 XPE winbuilder made by Chris R (which I am pretty sure I am at the right place for this, if not kick me out and tell me where to go).  What makes you feel that I was creating a plugin to another project? 

I have a question regarding browsing to network shares.

I can't just open windows explorer while in PE and navigate to another PC on my network (\\mypc\share or \\mypc\c$).  I am assuming this is because credential manager isn't fully implemented in the PE (or implemented at all)?  Is that why or some other reason?  And is this possible or fixable?  I do realize that you can map network drives and that is a workaround, just would also be nice to browse to network shares in explorer without mapping the drive.

Also, I noticed that some of the plugins listed here at the link below either have errors or just simply don't work (or maybe I am doing something wrong):

http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=2607.20

I will provide more info on that soon.

APT,

I noticed that in the post I linked above that you posted the plugin for GetDataBack.  I have used Runtime's GetDataBack in the past and it was a lifesaver.  I haven't used it in years, but I tried to add both versions you posted to PE and got errors.  I will respond with those errors soon.  Not sure if you had the same issue or not.

You have not play post games or do bad things like lie yet. not required.   :lol:
We have rules to follow: http://theoven.org/index.php?action=rules

without your log APT post :

And I notice on another forum you wrote "* Use: Enable 'Point Folder' : button  "

which exists at Win10PESE , not Win10XPE (both by Chris R if name required)
edit:
Plugin Creator by Lancelot if name required. (which is ported to XPE without that option)

Anyway, It is good you have a clear picture about which project you are using.  :great:
It is common new members posting wrong topics.
We even have a member (not kicked yet) that post wrong things to wrong topics since 2 years.

I am sure James will provide a Gimagex plugin XPEPlugin around soon, quite easy to create.

Have good time with Win10XPE  :thumbsup:

Easy to create. Although showed progress , did not Mount Anything to Destination Directory while testing in PE

And even easier when answers given...

The rest was left up to homework..

James,

I downloaded the script and the file container both (if the plugin had both), then placed them both in the "Win10XPE\Projects\MyPlugins\Apps\XPE Plugin Creator" folder, then refreshed the application.  I assume that is the correct way to add these XPE plugins, if not please let me know.  (I guess I could technically put them anywhere in the MyPlugins\Apps directory as long as they are both together).

I will do some more testing over the weekend when I can (have a busy weekend this weekend) and then provide some feedback on errors.

And I notice on another forum you wrote "* Use: Enable 'Point Folder' : button  "

which exists at Win10PESE , not Win10XPE (both by Chris R if name required)
edit:

Have good time with Win10XPE  :thumbsup:
:turtle:

The error:  "*Use: Enable 'Point Folder' : button" definitely exists in 10XPE, not just PESE.  I have never used this 10PESE.  I have only used Winbuilder Build Win10XPE by Chris R. (see screenshot below)



I just went back and re-created my first steps (took me a while to remember how I screwed it up, but I figured it out, lol) to re-create this error and can walk you through exactly how to create it yourself.

Steps to re-create error
Code: [Select]
Download GImageX from https://www.autoitconsulting.com/site/software/gimagex/

Create 2 separate 7z files one for x86 and one for x64.  Put Gimagex.exe in x86 folder, put Gimagex_x64.exe in the x64 folder.

Go to XPE plugin creator, point the 32 bit line to the x86 7z file, then point the 64-bit line to the x64 7z file.

For Program.EXE line, type "GImageX_X64.exe"  Now click create new XPE Plugin and watch the point folder error pop up during the creation of the XPE plugin.


In the end, I only created an XPE plugin for the x64 version of GImageX (not for x86 cause I couldn't get both to work because I am new to using XPE), but I am MORE THAN HAPPY to share my script and file container for this x64 version of GImageX.

Easy to create. Although showed progress , did not Mount Anything to Destination Directory while testing in PE

http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=2569.msg27760#msg27760

And even easier when answers given...

The rest was left up to homework..

James I am not sure what you are referencing here. 


Also, I want to say a big thank you to Chris R, James, APT, Lancelot and every other single person that contributed in any way to this XPE project.  This is an awesome tool that you all have created here.

definitely NOT the method of adding a premade plugin
I guess you can put them anywhere under \Projects\MyPlugins\Apps\  as you suggested, but we try and place them in a logical ordered way
 
eg
Runtime_XPE could go somewhere like
\Projects\MyPlugins\Apps\HD Tasks\Recover\   .... simply copy the one or both  xxx.script files to that location
making sure you select the plugin on the lefthand pane, and select any options if required (if there are any)

I'm sure your other queries will be addressed when others login :thumbsup:

regards APT

ps If I misunderstood your post - forgive me, it sounded like you are placing the plugins under \Apps\XPE Plugin Creator folder
and running that plugin to install them!

Thanks for the picture,
https://i.imgur.com/2YP0s6w.jpg
Picture clears everything.

*
Picture shows "XPE Packed Plugin Creator" use same Warning message from original "Plugin Creator Packed" (Author Lancelot) which exists at Win10PESE.

"XPE Packed Plugin Creator" ported from "Plugin Creator Packed" by James.

"XPE Packed Plugin Creator" Warning message is wrong,
 there is no option on "XPE Packed Plugin Creator" with "'*Use: Enable 'Point Folder"

I am sure James will fix "XPE Packed Plugin Creator" soon.  :thumbsup:

:turtle:

@Others:
I feel there will be another c't soon.   :lol:
