Win10XPE Project

Hi JFX,

additional info: sxsexp copy file if not compressed (expand or copy)
*
I do not have a compressed file now, to be sure: does compressed .sys file have a different header than MZ ?

Good point Lancelot.

Header Sign: 0x44 0x43 0x53 0x01, DCS 01 (packed LZMS, can have multiple blocks)

Cabinet.dll of Windows 7 does not have LZMS decoder.

Thanks JFX, I will use Header Sign . 

to use sxsexp :
should I check hostos for after Win7 ?
or Win10 and later ? (current I did that after your post)

Hmm, there are 6 different types, don't know which supports which OS.

Why not check error code of sxsexp.exe.

ok error code will be checked.

just another question you can quickly test with compressed .sys (since you use Win7)

Does adding cabinet.dll from win10 source to sxsexp folder make sxsexp use that cabinet.dll ?
 

Hi JFX

It seems like sxsexp32.exe needs to run under Windows 10 to be able to decompress that file.

Just tried on a Win10 drive and sxsexp32.exe/mrxsmb10.sys completes with no errors, whereas all my original errors were under Win7

Nope cabinet.dll of Win8/10 uses api set imports, so can not be used in Win7.

Hi JFX,

Thanks for all info. 

let us know news to support Win7 when you figure out. 

The same, Thanks for All the Info 

In sxsexp main.c It is confirmed

* InitCabinetDecompressionAPI:
* Get Cabinet API decompression function addresses.
* Windows 7 lack of their support.

Out of my knowledge.
I will continue with the latest Network.script
with SBM v1.0 service only available if built from a win10 host
To avoid the warning at each build, on Win7, I changed the  warning for an info only.

Code: [Select]

// SMB v1.0 service. Extract and expand mrxsmb10.sys from WinSxS. Only available on Win10 host
If,Not,ExistFile,%GTarget_Sys%\drivers\mrxsmb10.sys,Begin
  ShellExecute,Hide,%GTools%\wimlib-imagex.exe,"extract #$q%GSource%\sources\install.wim#$q %Image% #$q\Windows\WinSxS\*_microsoft-windows-smb10-minirdr_*\mrxsmb10.sys#$q --dest-dir=#$q%GTemp%#$q --no-acls"
  If,ExistFile,%GTemp%\mrxsmb10.sys,ShellExecute,Hide,%GTools%\sxsexp32.exe,"#$q%GTemp%\mrxsmb10.sys#$q #$q%GTarget_Sys%\drivers\mrxsmb10.sys#$q"

    EchoExtended,"SMB v1.0 Service will Not be Available. the WinSxS mrxsmb10.sys Driver could Not be Expanded.",,5

  End
End
If,ExistFile,%GTarget_Sys%\drivers\mrxsmb10.sys,Begin
  RegWrite,HKLM,0x7,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Services\mrxsmb10,DependOnService,mrxsmb

And to avoid any confusion with my changes, the package is now dated 2018-12-08
Win10XPE_2018-12-08 update

(JFX said. as tested, make a log here.)
I also think about that put Windows 10 cabinet.dll to Win7 maybe the API can be used, but:

1).sxsexp load SYSTEM32\cabinet.dll hardcode

remove the path and compile new sxsexp.exe

2).copy to WIN7 load the WIN10 cabinet.dll missing:
api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll
api-ms-win-core-string-obsolete-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-core-kernel32-legacy-l1-1-0.dll

download those downlevel dlls, and run

3). missing RtlDecompressBufferEx linked in ntdll.dll




THIS is harder than ->
  setup WIN10 winsxs http web services
   1). upload mrxsmb10.sys (client)
   2). sxsexp.exe mrxsmb10.sys return download link... (server)
   3). download the expanded one (client)

Hi JFX,

one more question :)

on Win7 HostOS,
 IF .sys file not compressed (as in Win10_1809_English_x64.iso index 1)
sxsexp should only copy file with errorlevel 0 ?

Can you validate?

Yes, errorlevel 0 (success) for non compressed and -1 (error) for compressed.

Thanks JFX.

just updated on my side with all sxsexp info 

on Win7 HostOS,
 IF .sys file not compressed (as in Win10_1809_English_x64.iso index 1)
sxsexp should only copy file with errorlevel 0 ?

I had a doubt about my mrxsmb10 service tests, I think I understand better now.
mrxsmb10.sys seems to be uncompressed in ALL Windows 10 Home, it is also the case in the French or Korean Isos. 

On the other hand, tsdiscon.exe, used for Switch to Admin, is not available in Home edition.
That's why I made the auto selection of the professional image.

To have smb1.0 available for all, I silently changed the package with image 1 hard-coded.
to be safe, I keep sxsexp32 in the process, to copy the file if it is well uncompressed that works whatever the hostOS.
To avoid downloading again, the only change done, is in Features\Network.Script

Code: [Select]

ShellExecute,Hide,%GTools%\wimlib-imagex.exe,"extract #$q%GSource%\sources\install.wim#$q %Image% #$q\Windows\WinSxS\*_microsoft-windows-smb10-minirdr_*\mrxsmb10.sys#$q --dest-dir=#$q%GTemp%#$q --no-acls"
==>
ShellExecute,Hide,%GTools%\wimlib-imagex.exe,"extract #$q%GSource%\sources\install.wim#$q 1 #$q\Windows\WinSxS\*_microsoft-windows-smb10-minirdr_*\mrxsmb10.sys#$q --dest-dir=#$q%GTemp%#$q --no-acls"

Thanks for All Infos JFX, Lancelot

It works in my win7 x86.
Build successful.
mrxsmb10.sys(from \sources\install.wim\1\Windows\System32\drivers\) is exist in PE.

Thanks ChrisR.

Thanks to you for the updates

RE: Win10XPE_2018-12-14 Update

ATI2019 - Needs "Acronis Build Number" to be updated to 14690

MPC-BE can be updated to 1.5.2.4105

Revise history on creator's one shows as v2

RE: Win10XPE_2018-12-14 Update

AOMEI Backupper also could be updated to 4.61

Another Idea..
Maybe create separate Member Optional Project Folder in project
For use with Optional Plugins - so as not to interfere with Project Release Plugins
And set creator's to use Optional Folder(s) - Guess you could provide Empty Optional Apps Folders to categorize

Just an Idea and thinking out loud here...

Thanks
So I updated with:
Acronis TrueImage 2019: "Acronis Build Number" to be updated to 14690
AOMEI Backupper: updated to 4.61
MPC-BE: updated to 1.5.2.4105

Separate Member Optional Plugins in place.
With the folder name: MoPlugins which can be created next to MyPlugins, ex:

Code: [Select]

Win10XPE\Projects\MoPlugins
  |-- Apps
  |-- Utilities
Win10XPE\Projects\MyPlugins
  |-- Apps
  |-- Utilities
