Hello,
if updating to a newer version of Win7PE_SE it seems to be possible to unpack ZIP file to old directory, overwriting the old files with newer ones.

But:
How to preserve WinBuilders configuration (which plugins are activated, which ISOs are included) and so on?

Thx...

Actually there is a script to save your settings within the Utils folder of Win7PESE. I believe it's called ScriptManager. You can backup your settings with that script, update the project, then restore the settings from your backup. It doesn't work 100% with all scripts but should save most of your settings.

- while backing up
- while restoring?

I check all 3 checkboxes, write a name (usually the current date), then press create. You could try making a smaller path to your winbuilder folder (for example, run it directly from the drive instead of from temp). You could also try placing it on C drive instead of X drive.

I am sorry but Scriptmanager is (for me) not working without error, so I will try to set up a new Win7PE system...
