Win10XPE Project General Discussions

Hi bigbadmoshe

It should open the folder. I guess I need to fix that line.

- nothing to fix there 

it does open the folder, it's just a jfi - if you then run the executable, it gives you an addition to the host context menu, that you might not want

I have it installed on my system so i guess i did not realize.

hi APT

Code: [Select]

... it gives you an addition to the host context menu, that you might not want

+ WiseUnlock.sys or WiseUnlock64.sys in %SystemRoot% (depend on your host Architecture)
+ respective reg key

Code: [Select]

RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Services\WiseUnlock,Type,1
RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Services\WiseUnlock,Start,3
RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Services\WiseUnlock,ErrorControl,1
RegWrite,HKLM,0x2,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Services\WiseUnlock,ImagePath,"\??\X:\windows\WiseUnlock.sys"
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_System\ControlSet001\Services\WiseUnlock,DisplayName,WiseUnlock

i remember this one, it make me crazy , i try it to extract it from WiseDeleter.exe but no luck... so i ended by added directly to the script 

Hi bigbadmoshe
it's better to add this :

Code: [Select]

RegWrite,HKLM,0x2,"Tmp_Software\WiseCleaner\Wise Force Deleter",path,"%PE_Programs%\%ProgramFolder%\"
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Tmp_Software\WiseCleaner\Wise Force Deleter","Product Name","Wise Force Deleter"

Hi cretino

thanks for your input

before it gets pointed out, I realise that running the executable via launch doesn't always give the desired result, but is a good test, for checking functionality etc, especially with simpler apps.

I tried your reg settings, and it seems to work whilst app is running on host but as soon as you close the app, the context menu re-appears on host for me, requiring me to use app menu to remove context menu item.

I only originally pointed it out in case someone tried the exe via launch, during plugin testing and noticed later it was on the host - it doesn't cause any problem in the booted  PE

but again thanks for your input

 

@APT

Yes it appears wiseunlock*.sys is present on host after Launch..
Also \AppData\Roaming\Wise Force Deleter\config.ini

Which contains exe option settings

Edit:
Placing config.ini file in Program folder prevents HOST configuration
But Not wiseunlock*.sys being written to c/windows

File could be extracted as part of "Launch" Process

It seems like a bit much to delete an unlocked file.... You need to run services 

Other than the size difference I would suggest the already made XPE UnlockIT plugin by James - http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=2607.msg28517#msg28517

It offers the same functionality without the requirements... (I don't mean to impede plugin development, but I am not sure if you are aware of existing plugins)

This is smaller so it definately wouldn't hurt to have it as an option...

I am in no way a developer/coder. So please any input is amazing.

cretino. Thanks. I only learned about that after dissecting other plugins. In the future I will use it.

Bob. I made this for the size as well as the fact I did not like the way unlockIT was working. IE. Very slow and did not seem to actually delete all the locked files.

I usually test the plug-in I make on my own builds to see that they work. I do not randomly upload whatever I fancy.

Again thank you all for feedback. I will use it to the best of my ability.

My question seems for to clarify the use of unlocker..
While in PE what Files are Locked ?
I would assume Files In Use in PE - so if that being true.
Why Need To Delete Files In Use while in PE?
Because Never Had Reason the Unlock OffLine Host Files to delete..

edit:
as I see it to be more of a Host [Launch] Tools rather then PE Tools

I had only one case so far. Windows was installed on a second hard drive that was not used any more. Main install was on a different hard drive. Many folders like system, program files would not delete. Tried with unlockIT and had no luck.

Hi

While in PE what Files are Locked ?

the more I think about it, I don't think I've had a scenario where just booting into a PE hasn't let me delete a locked file on a hard drive, not saying it couldn't happen, just not my experience

Some updates.

Simplewall New version 2.3.13
Everything New version 1.4.1.924

SimpleWall > change Plugin variable >%ProgramVersion%=2.3.13 > Hit Update Button

Everything > Unhide container > change container variable > %ContainerVer%=1.4.1.924 > Hit Little Green Play Button to Update

I missed replying earlier. Not to bring back to the locked file discussion but UnlockIT is rather good in my opinion.

For locked files I have had to use Emco Unlockit a TON of times in PE. And it has never NOT unlocked a file for me.  The worst that has happened is that it asks me to reboot to delete the file.

I use the context menu entrys and just click delete and presto no problem.  I have had trouble with the GUI but never with the context menu.

Hiberfile.sys is a perfect example.  Sometimes you can erase it in PE and sometimes you cannot.  But if its corrupted your machine wont start..

Everything > Unhide container > change container variable > %ContainerVer%=1.4.1.924 > Hit Little Green Play Button to Update

Thanks. I already figured that out.

Not to sound like I'm complaining, would it not have been better to make those plugins with a input field for version?

Does Kind of serve to notify others of method...
Yes a Program_Version_textbox can Be added - but was not implemented at the time

:) I thought I was the only one in the world...

How do you run pintool in XPE, when during boot does it execute and where from? RunOnce? PECMD?

James thank you for the recent scripts.

@bob.omb Pintool is called via pecmd. Written in pecmd.ini Postshell section, after Explorer.exe.
