Win10XPE Project General Discussions

@James

Code: [Select]

[MeasureIPLan]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoData=Best
SysInfoType=IP_ADDRESS

That should pull the local ip address. I tested the xpe plugin via launch and it does not show the local ip only 0.

I installed rainmeter on the same system and local ip shows. I tried replacing the dll from the install into the Rainmeter64.7z but its not extracting the rainmeter.exe for some reason.

It appears to me that you are trying to customize the App and the Uploaded XPE Plugin...
Which is not working out so good for you... And so as Not to confuse others

Create a "Test" directory inside MoPlugins/Apps/

Copy your revised version of rainmeter into MoPlugins/Apps/Test


Download the Rainmeter App and place in MoPlugins/Apps/Tweaks
Verify this is a working App on Both x86 and x64 for the general public...

Then Link To Me - your revisions from /Test - so as I can test and try to help figure out what is wrong...

Hi James

re Altap Salamander - XPE Plugin

thanks, seems to test fine on x64 for me, did note that it redownloads every time on hitting Launch button
assume not by design

regards APT

APT, our results are not the same...

Please verify container file size and encode after launch on x64 (11203kb)

Even with a clean download from forum - could not verify redownload of same setup file
will download depending on x86 or x64 - thus 2 setup file downloads to fill container

Hi James
 
yep it's 11,203KB
you are manually hitting the plugin 'Launch' button? - it happens every time for me

yes....

it is the same process used in every other App.
It should only download and encode the setup file upon first launch...

Hi

please find attached log for launch button
using PEB as builder for log, but happens with BSE as well

How do i pin programs to taskbar/startmenu? this was possible in PESE

I also don't want several icons on the desktop, like command prompt, change explorer theme, etc how do i rid those? this was surely possible in pese

Hi

I see this in LOG

Code: [Select]

Comment (//Set,%SetupContainerSize%,"")

that line should not be commented out........
and is not by default...

Also are you testing on x86 Host ???

Test by marking out line 138

How do i pin programs to taskbar/startmenu?

On almost every Interface there are > Pin To StartMenu and Pin To TaskBar < checkboxes

I also don't want several icons on the desktop, like command prompt, how do i rid those?

Build Core > Edit pecmd.ini < Button = mark out //Link to shortcut under _SUB Shortcuts

I also don't want several icons on the desktop, like change explorer theme

Build Core > Additional options

This Is XPE , Not PESE

Your LOG shows x86 as %HostOSArch% - which is used by Launch Process
the Update-Container was using Build %Architecture%

Thus x86 setup file did not exist for launch - but was instead constantly re downloading the x64 file...
Now that I see your Testing parameters = x86 Host OS - x64 Build
And see (Found) the issue within the XPE Plugin - there are most likely other App's with same issue..

FIXED....

I still do not know how XPE differs from PESE. Does seem similar, but yet different.

OK, i was pretty blind to not see pin to task bar

but in the past, i had cmd.exe pins, device manager pins, disk management pins also.... how do i add these?

What's the best way to add manual registry, autostart batch scripts?

I also intend to write a autostartup script that would connect/setup a network share/drive, and run a cmd on the network share/drive...  in PESE, i wrote a customstartup.cmd and write a .script to load it. How do you recommend doing it now?

Also -- how did you write the script to pin to taskbar? in windows 10, ive not been able to figure out how to custom pin to taskbar.

@James

Can you make a make boot.wim script only? Basically i have no need for iso creation. Or better yet can you help me out with disabling the iso creation parts in create iso?

Edit "Create ISO"

add to [Interface]

Code: [Select]

WimOnly_CheckBox=,1,3,100,12,18,16,True,"__Pack and Create Boot.Wim Only..."

replace last line of [Process] with

Code: [Select]

If,Not,%WimOnly_CheckBox%,Equal,True,Run,%ScriptFile%,CreateISO

You will now have a blank checkbox above "Create Boot.wim and ISO" Button - with a hover description

"XPE Startup"
"Additions"
Member Optional XPE Plugin
Personal XPE Plugin

It is all in there, already............

XPE Did Not and Does Not Live in the Past, it evolved from it...

Edit "Create ISO"

add to [Interface]

Thanks so much

Hi James

re Altap Salamander - XPE Plugin

mmm... very strange
as you say

Your LOG shows x86 as %HostOSArch% - which is used by Launch Process

by both builders, however, my host OS is Win7x64, so haven't a clue why the misreporting, all the info plugins see it as x64
Anyway, with a fresh distro extraction into new dir and porting of MoPlugins - all is correct.

ps
Commented out line (//Set,%SetupContainerSize%,"") my bad, left there accidentally whilst looking at prob.

pss  just tried original structure,(just out of interest) with all app plugins deselected, and it still reports a x86 OS build ?

Replace > \Win10XPE\Projects\Win10XPE\script.project
as that is where the HostOSArch process lives

Also to verify on main Win10XPE Project interface
Hit Small Green Play Arrow and then edit and verify line 51
