This has been asked a 100 times in different ways, I have looked at the "Quick Start", and read all the comments I can find on the topic - but haven't figured the answer yet.

I have a very simple Visual Basic program that displays a gui frontend for some batch files.  It is a stand alone exe - works by simply running the exe. 

What is the simplest way to get it to run as a program in win10xpe?  I'll figure out the desktop icon later (pedini).

Thanks

Hi
Just copy one of pre-made script file and change variables values on variable section with your exe's specification. Make an archive file of your exe and if exists, along with other files. And on script properties, change container archive with yours. That is the simplest way as far as I know.

With everything that colleague wrote, and considering that it is a VB program,
VB run files should be checked / added to the appropriate locations.

An alternative would be to add later after possible missing file error.

thanks everyone (especially APT) .... got my little project to work.  One comment:  of all the documentation I could find, I never did find out what directory to put source code into?  temp?  Project?  Plus there is obviously a difference between the xpe plugin builder and just adding a plugin to one of the exiting groups.   Really would be nice if someone in the know would document the differences and how to implement each (code written by and individual in VB or C++ is much different than commercial products)

Lots of fun working with win10xpe
