Win10XPE Project General Discussions

By any chance are either of you Integrating Host drivers into XPE Build ???

I have now tested using 19018 x64 as source - as Build to Ram and Build to USB
With admin account and with default System account
With host drivers integrated and without
I can not seem to reproduce your reported issues...



There is an issue with SIB++ refreshing when click on open program taskbar icons, this is solved when you disable taskbar jumplist

Code: [Select]

RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,Tmp_Default\Software\StartIsBack,TaskbarJumpList,0

The only other Build Change was the implication of the "custom computer name" and the related system changes that accrue... I did not test...

If integrating Host Drivers - VERIFY the Arch of drivers in the custom drivers folder match the arch of build...
exported drivers should read as x86 or amd64 in the driver name...

Thanks James - no I did not integrate any host driver. Everything was left on default except that I enabled MS. Net4 and VC++.

Repeated 4 times and still the same issue

What arch ? what source ? Build type - ram or usb ?? Host OS ?? Host OS arch?? boot method uefi or legacy ??

Post Pic of ISO contents...

After Mounting ISO - Select & copy all contents of ISO to a Fat32 Formatted USB - using windows drag & drop

USB should boot UEFI w/secure boot off & MBR Legacy if the USB Partition is marked active..

[how to set active partition]
Diskpart
list disk
select disk #  (# being disk number assigned to USB)
list partition
select partition 1
Active
exit

Note: I have never used RUFUS and only tested USB7ice today
Have always used windows drag&drop method

@James & @oliverjia : Thanks to both of you for the help & info.

1. New Macro.script is out. I will try that soon.
2. I am using untouched & final M$ Win 10 1903 V1 English x64.Iso
3. No integrating host drivers.
4. I also enabled M$ Net 4 & VC++ ( All : 8,9, 10,11,12,14 )
5. I will try to uncheck Switch to Admin
6. Rufus has problems with UEFI+GPT when the biggest file ( Normally Install.wim ! ) is bigger than 4GB. The 1903 version i used, was said to be successfully written by rufus, to make UEFI+GPT without any prompt. But as the Install.wim was greater than 4GB, the installation media did not work accurately! ( Surprisingly, Rufus logs reported Install.wim as 4GB size & did not pick NTFS automatically, So the problem is obvious!)
(a) The 1903 version was having Install.wim just under 4GB.
(b) Rufus automatically switches to & leaves no other option but 'NTFS' with 'UEFI + GPT' when the biggest file is larger than 4GB. but to boot in that media you will need to disable secure boot. Once the Installation or repair is over, Secure Boot can be enabled again. 

Thanks & Regards. ...

UPDATE : All fresh attempt with default settings, blues continue!

Hi All,
Greets,
Now I did it as it was never there on my pc. All default settings, default apps & without any ''Mega'' material & its doing all good!
Next : I will try customization & report.

UPDATE : I did customization very moderately but the blues are back! ( Second log attached )

Thanks & Regards. ...

Rufus was updated from 3.6p to 3.7 in the 2019.09.18 Project Release
And was then updated from 3.7 to 3.8p in the 2019.09.20 Project Release

UPDATE : I did customization very moderately but the blues are back! ( Second log attached )

The log shows 3 warnings...
Aomie BU and PA version out of Date...
And NotePad++ needs a dependency...

NONE of them should prevent ISO creation or Booting...

Notepad++ was not installed
Aomie Was...

Hi James,
Greets,
Thanks for the response.

1. Rufus is not an issue here still I have kept it aside.

2. My heart says something to do with Switch to Admin and / or HD Tasks app(s). I will try & report in the evening.

( I have not customized anything largely. I respected the basic frame & structure. I have added some extra apps / options which are supported for the project by default & I have proper reasoning for the changes to work )

Thanks & Regards. ...

Thank You for your continued Testing.. It will be interesting to see the conclusion of your results...

Hi, very interested in the work you guys do here. Some really good work comes from this place!   I did want to let you know, a lot of the PXE plugins do not work. I'm assuming download links change over time and what not. I was wondering if there is a future idea to consolidate all these plugins into a download server kinda like in PESE? I like using PXE cause its easier and cleaner but end up remaking a lot of my plugins. What can we expect in the future?
 

To answer your question  APT Sr. Chef yes I can post some of the plugins that are not working. As well as some of the plugins I remade.

   

You Can Report Any Non Working Apps Here...
It would be more helpful to others - rather then saying some are not working.
I do not Index some of the Member Optional Apps, as not all are reliable..
Like you said some work, some do not... It all depends...
So it is up to you to test a verify on your own any download..

And that is the reason some work and some do not..
Problem is we do not have control or any moderation over the XPE Topic

WinToHDD *FIXED*

Yet I fail to find what was fixed....

A lot of the plugins fail to download right away during build. 2 big ones that I use a lot and have issues with are Power Data Recovery and MBAM. Dism++ was another to fail downloading.  As well as GSmart control, Firefox, TestDisk.

I apologize, I did not mean to sound unappreciative or anything. I am just trying to help.

Hi All,

Installed the Paragon 15 plugin and while it functions, the desktop icon is broken and the label is "PHDM" instead of something more descriptive. Also, when pinned to the taskbar the icon is broken and when pinned to the Start menu the icon is broken and the program title is the beginning of what looks like a description of the Paragon app. I have the script placed as described below.

Any thoughts on correcting these issues?

Thx!

Win10XPE  and Win10XPE in PEBakery

PHDM15_XPE

Paragon Hard Disk Manager

copy to  \HD Tasks\Imaging\Paragon   (suggestion only)

Note: Requires you to create PHDM64.7z and/or PHDM.7z (depending on ARCH) from all the files and folders WITHIN the program folder, either
C:\Program Files\Paragon Software\Hard Disk Manager15\program\  from locally installed program OR   
   \BOOT.WIM\Programs\Paragon Software\program\  from the ISO

PHDM15_XPE.Script (90.58 kB - downloaded 34 times.)

We copy Release Package to C:\ or D:\ then right click extract here - thus you get D:\Win10XPE as the Base Folder.
Most of the Apps are Downloaded on First Run..
There is a How To Guide and most of the Apps depend on your Internet to download the program files..
My Project folder is 20GB - No way we distribute that as a Package - thus you must be able to Download - so not an error with the Apps..
