Required Files

You guys did a great job with WinBuilder and its plugins!
Kudos for all thisamazing stuff! 

i don't want to annoy you with too much questions so i've read many articles and useful replies
i tried by myself to figure out how to add programs i need and made many test ISo's
i managed to add Acronis True Image 2018, Acronis Disk Director 12 and Macrium Reflect 7 Server (tried to add Acronis Universal Restore but couldn't find its plugin)
But some things still not clear to me, notably the required files (for some specific programs) and their folders names in the project

i take as example Paragon Hard Disk Manager 15
i used the following plugin :

Paragon-HDM15.Script
Author=ErikW
Version=001
Date=2017-02-18

In the plugin configuration, there is a drop down menu to specify the location of the required files
But what are those required files?

Other plugins i tested specified they need WINPE.zip for example, but this one give no clues about what is needed!

Thanks in advance for any help   

Usually the required file - is the programs setup.exe file
there may be a web link on the interface you can follow

since you know how to read the script.
under the [Variable] section you will find the name of the setup file required..
%SetupExe%=

download that file and then point the dialog box to it...

Hi RXTech

I have never seen ErikW's script so it's hard to say
the distribution exe is very complex with layers and layers of cab files - much better left to the likes of James, IF he ever had the time or inclination to play with that particular prog
the distribution .msi seem a lot easier to extract logically with jsMSIx.exe which you can add to the project tools folder and use to extract
or you could try by gathering the local/iso files

just a lot quicker and simpler

Thanks for your guidance guys but it didn't work for me.
i tried in both projects with no avail (Win10XPE & Win10PESE)

- i created PHDM64.7z and pointed the plugin to it using Paragon-HDM15.Script by ErikW and Win10PESE project : Failed
- i also used the PHDM15_XPE script you pointed me to @APT, on the Win10XPE project : Failed too

Both are throwing this message: Unable to create directory: DirMake,"%ProgFile.PATH%\tmpP"

i would have also tried the second solution (BOOT.WIM) but i couldn't find/get it.

Hi RXTech

I wouldn't expect the PHDM64.7z to work with ErikW's script since I've never seen it and don't know what it's requirements are! - could be anything!
Just rechecked my PHDM15_XPE plugin -still works fine for me, can only suggest you run it and post the error log here and I'm sure I can help

regards APT

Thanks @APT. i'll try again and report back tomorrow...

Paragon-HDM15.Script by ErikW and Win10PESE project (using WinBuilderr SE)

Well, it worked finally!

- As you said " don't know what it's requirements are! - could be anything!"
i copied everything from the program install dir and it worked, so i started to eliminate folders one by one and it kept working
Now i'm still trying to isolate needed files only.

When i say "it worked" i mean the script executed successfully
But when testing the finalized ISO in vm, the program has no icon and executed but was not in a working state
That's because some variables in the script were pointing to the wrong files.

[Variables]
%ProgramFolder0%="Paragon Software"
%ProgramFolder%="%ProgramFolder0%\program"
%ProgramTitle%=Paragon HDM 15 Professional
%ProgramEXE%=explauncher.exe ------------------------------> i replaced this by launcher.exe (pointing to the false launcher)
%ProgramICO%=scripts.exe -------------------------------> i replaced this by launcher.ico (pointed executable have no icons)

Now it's working fine in my project.

Thanks a lot guys!

Hi RXTech

Pleased to see you got your version working! 
I remember with mine, explauncher .exe (which is what is used by paragon) doesn't display an icon
but for my personal ver, I used resource hacker to add the icon to the explauncher.exe and it works great

regards APT

Nice trick! 
add/modify/ resources with ResourceHacker is one of my favourite manips on executables/dlls/...!

BTW. explauncher .exe is actually for executing the Express Launcher
in my first attempts, once in PE mode, the interface is there but whatever task i choose nothing happen!

i switched explauncher.exe to launcher.exe which is directly executing the Expert view and i'm satisfied with it working this way 
i'll install some old version to see if i get the same problem or this is only happening with the latest version....

Thanks @APT!

It is Great to see new members contribute in this matter....

Indeed! Only that way things goes forth and get better.
But you guys did the big part! 
We are only trying to adapt to your magic! :)

BTW. Yesterday, i tried with an older Paragon HDM 15 version but the issue occured again (express interface launches but nothing happen when clicking on items).
i reverted back to the original plugin variables (%ProgramEXE%=explauncher.exe), added the VSS plugin to my project and it worked without a glitch!
However, as i prefer the expert view, i kept it that way in my project. ("%ProgramEXE%=launcher.exe" which is directly executing the expert view)

Thanks to all of you guys!
