Printers and MTP Preview:

hi slore

Added RNDIS feature, Can use smart phone's share network to access the Internet via USB.

I am interested ... i think i missed something ....
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ]

Hi,

I forget to add the feature be enabled in full preset.
You need select the RNDIS checkbox in "Components" page.

Hi slore,

=== WimBuilder2 v2019.10.10 ===

Looks very fine here,
 working nicely with spaced base path,
 Just download and tested with 1903 ( 18362.356 ) x64

>Still whatever you do, also have a design to build unattended.

because this made by js+html, it is easy do auto action with config.js to write same action like:

Maybe you had already implemented

+
If so I missed where it was written.

how to make unattended build with WimBuilder2 ?
eg.
WimBuilder.cmd /unattended

(ps:  auto_config.js already exists with required info )

+
If not, I like to remind my old request


*
A basic help file maybe good (eg. WimBuilder_Help.txt ).

Hi, Lancelot

Long time no see.

If not, I like to remind my old request

I remember this request and I have two way on it.

1). pass the commandline options to HTA, to "click" button with the options to build.
2). add a [Create Auto Build batch file with current settings] button, and save a autobuild.bat

autobuild.bat:

Code: [Select]

rem SOURCE settings
set WB_SRC_WIM=install.wim
set WB_SRC_INDEX=1
set WB_BASE_WIM=winre.wim

rem PATCH Options
set opt[admin.enabled]=true
...
set opt[slim.speech]=true

rem PATCH Selections

call WriteRAWFile patches_selected.txt %0 :BUILD_WIM
goto :BUILD_WIM
\Projects\WIN10XPE\00-Configures\Build\main.bat
\Projects\WIN10XPE\00-Configures\System\main.bat
...
\Projects\WIN10XPE\za-Slim\last.bat

:BUILD_WIM
call bin\_Process.bat

This one will build PE without the HTA requirement.
Build with Dism.exe by batch
--- use WimBuilder2 to save the patch options on UI, and build by WimBuilder1.


 NO others request a improvement or feature about WimBuilder2 here, but you 

So, only had idea for that.
But now, you came by, and request it again, I written 40 lines code to support the 1). way RIGHT NOW for you.

Code: [Select]

Usage: WimBuilder.cmd [-h|--help] [<Options>...]

<Options>
   --verbose
   --build|--build-with-log
   --project {name}
   --preset {preset}
   --make-iso

WimBuilder.cmd --build --project WIN10XPE --preset full --make-iso

if you don't specify the options, it will use what you saved in auto_config.js, so simply call:

WimBuilder.cmd --build
or
WimBuilder.cmd --build-with-log


It is pushed on github- WimBuilder2-master.
(copy WimBuilder2.cmd, bin\ElevateMe.vbs, assets\js to WimBuilder2.2019.10.10, it should work.)

I will release 2019.11.11 version in the weekend, at that time there will be a packaged version with vendor updates and new software (ClassicShell, ImDisk)

Hi slore,

Good to see you are around.

Here is a quick test result with feedback.

following your instructions:

It is pushed on github- WimBuilder2-master.
(copy WimBuilder2.cmd, bin\ElevateMe.vbs, assets\js to WimBuilder2.2019.10.10, it should work.)

+ I extract WimBuilder2-Full.2019-10-10.7z to empty folder eg. D:\Te st\
+ I download wimbuilder2-master.zip from github,
From wimbuilder2-master.zip :
I copy:
D:\Te st\WimBuilder.cmd
D:\Te st\bin\ElevateMe.vbs
files and
D:\Te st\assets\js\
folder

Doubleclick WimBuilder.cmd, select source etc. I click "1-build(cmd)"

I get quick JS error screen:

Title: Script Error

An error has occurred in the script on this page.

Line: 306
Char: 5
Error: Object doesn't support properly or method 'get_undetermined'
Code: 0
URL: file:///................/assets/js/page_patches.js

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page ?

  well, put 2019.10.10's vendor to master please.
I will try it tonight.

Hi slore,

Thanks for working on implementing this feature,
 I am sure it will work with the next stable distribution. 

*

NO others request an improvement or feature about WimBuilder2 here, but you 

Sure, You should already understand I am the only one of very rare "no fanatic" about projects and builders around here. 
 That is the reason you can see my requests and feedback on many other projects and builder topics, up to my taste how much I like them (idea behind etc.) or sometimes give up without hope after a point or ......

  I work on request only (to me) critical improvements (things that can only be done by the author) and do things I can do without asking.   
   There will be other requests in the future with this definition, I hope you do not break the development path you are walking so far like others in the past. 

Hi, Lancelot

(things that can only be done by the author)

Well, actually as this is open-source script project, anyone can do it.

for auto build with auto_config.js, only few code(10 lines?) can make WimBuilder2 have the feature.

js\menu_click.js

$('#menu_patch').click(function(){
    ...
+    if ($wb_opt_build) {
+        do_quick_build($wb_opt_build); // just call the function what the right-top GREEN button runs.
+    }
)

But I'm the author, What I can do? How can I make it be more easy-to-use?
Now, it can work without auto_config.js, and close the HTA UI for building more PE in batch.

Z:\WimBuilder2_RAM>WimBuilder.cmd -h
Usage: WimBuilder.cmd [-h|--help] [<Options>...]

<Options>
   --verbose
   --build|--build-with-log
   --source-folder FOLDER|DRIVE
   --source-wim SOURCE_WIM_FILE
   --source-index INDEX
   --base-wim BASE_WIM_FILE
   --base-index INDEX
   --project PROJECT
   --preset PRESET
   --make-iso
   --close-ui

Examples:

   WimBuilder.cmd --build --make-iso --close-ui
   WimBuilder.cmd --source-folder I: --source-index 1 --build --preset full --make-iso --close-ui
   WimBuilder.cmd --source-wim "D:\win10v1903\sources\install.wim" --source-index 4 --build --preset full --make-iso --close-ui
   WimBuilder.cmd --source-folder H: --source-index 1 --base-wim "D:\BOOTPE\boot.wim" --preset lite --build-with-log --make-iso

Code is pushed in github. distribution will release on 2019.11.11, maybe I will upload a pre-release on tomorrow,
if I can finish some features that I want to add to next release.

Thanks slore,

I will have a quick test and feedback with pre-release or release when you have time, nothing to rush,
 I do not have much free time anyway,
  But this is very critical to me so I will be around to test and feedback for this feature of WimBuilder.

ps:
related to subject, and having another look other than "wimbuilder/pebakery/Gena (with wb77rc2)",
 LiveSystemPro also have this feature, see reply 10 and later
   http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=295.msg28760#msg28760

Well, actually as this is open-source script project, anyone can do it.

Sure, but all work lost when the author updates the project/builder and requires re-work to implement again ...
 Such things better when provided by the author of the project/builder as project/builder feature.
  Thanks Again.

Here is screenshot of WimBuilder with VMware with plugins I added:
"Mouse Cursors Breeze Cursors by niivu" plugin
"Snipping Tool" plugin not required, available at WimBuilder-Patches-Components\Accessories-Sniping Tool
"FastCopy 3" plugin
"Opera v12 SL" plugin
"Sysinternals Process Explorer" plugin
ps:
picture was taken using "VMware Emulation" plugin,
and
 I did not change any plugin, I only quickly use them with WimBuilder as mentioned recently on other topics.

It seems I will have lots of nice fun times, when I have some free time, probably and hopefully late this summer.

[Github] Something went really wrong, and we can’t process that file. Try another file.

7-Zip patch in WimBuilder2 AND 7-Zip plugin in WinBuilder.

WimBuilder2 use html/js for drawing the UI, modify wim file with batch syntax.

So you can update registry with :LABEL function in less codes.(of cause, you can call vbscript/powershell/python/ruby/lua ... in batch script)


Align items without coordinates.



If you are good at Web page develop, you create unique fantasy UI, and use JQuery to control the UI.
If not, don't be worry, the basic elements can be easy to learn from the internet, and it is more standard and tidy.

Update 7-zip without writing a word code.



Oh, all of the codes will be hightlight by the mainstream editors.
Not only hightlight, but code check, Auto completion, etc.

Hi, Lancelot

"Snipping Tool" plugin

Snippint Tool is already in WimBuilder2.


WimBuilder2\Projects\WIN10XPE\01-Components\za-Accessories\_snippingtool.bat

Code: [Select]

call AddFiles %0 :end_files
goto :end_files

@\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ink\
InkObj.dll,tpcps.dll
??-??\InkObj.dll.mui

@\Windows\system32\
SnippingTool.exe
DWrite.dll,msdrm.dll,oleacc.dll,oleaccrc.dll,uxtheme.dll,wisp.dll
:end_files

and
 I did not change any plugin, I only quickly use them with WimBuilder as mentioned recently on other topics.

What is done can be called by batch script, of cause lots of WimBuilder's macro, main.bat can be used in WinBuilder's plugin.

But I want that the end user write less code, or no code for adding/updating their applactions.

Sure, but all work lost when the author updates the project/builder and requires re-work to implement again ...

Not true, if you use source control management, like svn/git to manage your custom codes.
Just create a new branch to implement your custom features.
if the author updated, just click some menu to rebase your branch to the master branch,
all your work is *patched* on your develop branch with the newest version.

Such things better when provided by the author of the project/builder as project/builder feature.

YES, so I prefer to someone implement some features and share it, be better to send me a pullrequest on github to merge them to the master branch.

Hi Slore,

*
Before your posts, I already fixed my previous post about Sniping Tool providing detailed info how to add Sniping Tool with WimBuilder

"Snipping Tool" plugin not required, available at WimBuilder-Patches-Components\Accessories-Sniping Tool

*

But I want that the end user write less code, or no code for adding/updating their applactions.

I agree. On my side, I already have lots of plugins, better use them with no code and without spending time to re write. 

ps:
 wb followed an intentional (following hidden agenda) bad design on that area that was carelessly followed by pebakery and livesystempro (I informed them but they decide to ignore that times following wb)
  which make end user not to use plugins standalone (eg. inside a blabla.cmd , blablabuilder.exe /execute .\blabla.plugin not possible),
    I work around that design trouble another way to get plugins work with wimbuilder (and others) last year (which was also written on posts last year too).
       It is good wimbuilder naturally do not have such trouble since day 1.   



*

Not true, if you use source control management, like svn/git to manage your custom codes.

Probably you are right, as long as changes added to project main stream distribution the way you write, all ways to Istanbul. 
 Still, On some "critical" cases, I believe such things better by developer's hand since the developer knows more than the one who feedback .....
   Something I had also practiced .....
     On other cases, things will work very smooth with github the way you write.

Also, to me on some cases, forums help developers what to add "pullrequest" or not in a better environment.

Shortly: Advantages , Disadvantages , Different Available Options --> Balance 


*
Time to quick test parameters, see you on next posts....

Hi Slore,

I only could find some time to quick test today,
 Command Line works but I can not use that command line option to do things after build which is the primary goal of having such option also with other builders/projects.

writing an example easier to explain:

eg.
WinBuilder_Test.cmd

Code: [Select]

cd /d "%~dp0"
WimBuilder.cmd --build --make-iso --close-ui
Echo WimBuilder.cmd finished do other things ....

Echo Finished
cmd
exit
 

After "WimBuilder.cmd --build --make-iso --close-ui" line continue to next line without waiting WimBuilder finish build and close-ui

See You .....
