Win10XPE Project General Discussions

New Version of True image is out..

https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/updates/changes.html?p=41347

Change Build Number on ATI2019 XPE Plugin to 14110

Hi James


Your Acronis plugins work a real treat
I have to say, they must be the best versions I've seen 

regards APT

Thanks,
It was just a matter of figuring out a better way to do - what has already been done...

Several of the XPE Plugins have the AutoUpdate Feature Built In

Hi All

AOMEI Partition Assistant  Plugins (James)
now downloads new v7.2 - no changelog on website yet

dont forget to update %CheckVersion%=7.2.0  if happy about functionality (seems OK to me)

regards APT

Yes I did Test v7.2 and it works Fine...

Hi James

minor edit for PEBakery in your AOMEI Partition Assistant Std plugin
in the interface section, it has the HomePage_WebLabel duplicated

regards
APT

again.. I know how it came back, though...

And Thanks To ChrisR and APT for finding my shortfalls..

That why it good others test and provide feedback...

Been having some really bad Breathing days here of late..

Chris pointed out that on the PA plugins the ampa drivers where the same for x86 and x64...
I knew it was ,2 and ,4 - but when checked it was copy-paste error of ,2 and ,2

The plugins above have been corrected...

Hi James
re AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro
having an issue with latest version of plugin (could be me !)
occasionally it seems to work, then on next run it will error with unable to find GptBcd.dll (and it's not in the extracted folder) but then running it from Launch, it will be listed and appear in folder - but actually doesn't Launch prog with a
''This 64bit program only supports for windowsPE system, does not support to run on the current system'' message

any ideas?

ps not having any probs with previous ver
still same win7prox64 host

EDIT
 Sorry James leave it to me to investigate, seems it only happens on PEBakery - still,  there must be bigger differences between the two versions than I  thought

with PA both use same files

change the Launch process back to

Code: [Select]

[Launch_Program]
Run,%ScriptFile%,Extract
OpenDir,%GTemp%\%ProgramFolder%
//Start,,%ProgramEXE%,,%GTemp%\%ProgramFolder%\%ProgramFolder%

 as that folder launches the x86 version and has the native drivers and drvload

Hi James

Maybe better to Stay with old method of coping all the files and then deleting the ones we do not want from target;

OR you could ONLY extract the files you want from the exe with innounp filelist cmd
eg

Code: [Select]

FileCopy,%GTools%\innounp.exe,%ProgFile.PATH%
ShellExecute,Hide,cmd.exe,"/C %ProgFile.PATH%\innounp.exe -x -y %ProgFile.PATH%\terabyte_drive_image_backup_and_restore_suite_en_gui.exe @filelist.txt#$q","%ProgFile.PATH%\TBtmpA"

It'll extract the file from it's path in filelist.txt, which you can create in-script as I do..  eg

Code: [Select]

[Filelst1]
Set,%w%,"%ProgFile.PATH%\TBtmpA\filelist.txt"
FileCreateBlank,%w%
TXTAddLine,%w%,"{app}\imagew.exe",Append
TXTAddLine,%w%,"{app}\imagew64.exe",Append
TXTAddLine,%w%,"{app}\cdboot.f35",Append
TXTAddLine,%w%,"{app}\cdboot.ifd",Append
TXTAddLine,%w%,"{app}\ifw_en_manual.pdf",Append
TXTAddLine,%w%,"{app}\tbiview_setup.exe",Append

 OR just  encode premade filelist.txt - very easy to amend for later changes in either case

I tried it in my TeraByte_XPE script - reply 132 of this thread and it seems to work well

regards APT

The pre-made filelist.txt looks good 
Just a little trick, you can use innounp directly from %GTools% without having to copy and delete it.

Code: [Select]

ShellExecute,Hide,cmd.exe,"/C %GTools%\innounp.exe -x -y %ProgFile.PATH%\terabyte_drive_image_backup_and_restore_suite_en_gui.exe @filelist.txt#$q","%ProgFile.PATH%\TBtmpA"

or

Code: [Select]

ShellExecute,Hide,%GTools%\innounp.exe,"-x -y %ProgFile.PATH%\terabyte_drive_image_backup_and_restore_suite_en_gui.exe @filelist.txt#$q","%ProgFile.PATH%\TBtmpA"

Hi ChrisR

Just a little trick, you can use innounp directly from %GTools% without having to copy and delete it.

Well normally I do, but had a feeling it was more reliable when using Filelist to have innounp in same dir as source exe see edit

regards APT

ps
on the subject of innounp I see 0.47 (2018.07.02)  is available

    Added support for IS 5.6.0 and 5.6.1.
    Added AppId field to the script.

xttps://sourceforge.net/projects/innounp/files/latest/download


Edit:
the more I think about it, It was that the filelist.txt had to be in the extraction path

No worry APT, it should work using GTools  directly but it works well too as you did.
I'll add latest innounp version, Thanks for the info

I have some issues with Wget 
With version 1.11.4, I have an OpenSSL error with for ex: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v6.1.0/PowerShell-6.1.0-win-x64.zip
It is good with version 1.18 but now I have an exit return 3221225477 with for ex: Backupper v4.5.2 here  http://www2.aomeisoftware.com/download/adb/Backupper.exe
And with Wget 1.19.4 I also have some concerns.

I tried it with aria2c v1.34. For now, I haven't encountered any problems using the following cmdline:

Code: [Select]

ShellExecute,Open,%GTools%\aria2c.exe,"-x16 -s16 --allow-overwrite=true --auto-file-renaming=false -d#$q%BaseDir%\ProgCache\PowerShell-6#$q -o#$qPowerShell-6.1.0-win-x64.zip#$q #$qhttps://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v6.1.0/PowerShell-6.1.0-win-x64.zip#$q"

I'm thinking of using Aria2c as a replacement for WGet in Tools folder and used in Download Macro.
I'm not experienced with it, let me know for your experience or switches, if you used.

AOMEI Backupper Plugins

Updated for Version 4.5.2.0

Plugin(s) Moved To Topic - http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=2607.0

I do not invest time in creating a working Program via the "Launch" Button.
But, By Default the Plugin Creator will add the launch process

And by default, the 'Launch" button opens the program folder..
Although it should launch Packed Portable Programs - if "Start" program.exe enabled

Not all Programs Are Designed as Portable.. (Innounp)

So we [process] the files and drivers we need for WinXPE


But, If your looking to create a working program "Launch" button process..
For Innounp plugins you may want to use x86 Files for the process
because with some programs we [process] the x64 PE Files and they may not work as expected on Host OS

The pre-made filelist.txt looks good 
Just a little trick, you can use innounp directly from %GTools% without having to copy and delete it.

Question to both of you..
While testing Aomei plugins - the innounp extraction takes just over a minute (according to Mine and APT's log)
Would the extraction be any faster if using a file list??

Faster was the goal for changing the process in PA from copy all then delete to just copy required...

with Bupper the current process is to rename required in temp, delete unneeded from temp and then copy temp to target
Again (to me) it would make more sense just to copy required to Target

We have success with Launching PA from temp because "driver folder" and "Drvload" present (which we do not use in PE) and only 1 file needs rename...

Buppper is another case - drivers present - but many files need to be renamed in temp in order to Launch program with success

Like I said above - I do not invest a lot of time launching the program via the plugin.. Although it seems possible...

So I'll leave this up to discussion and opinion as to what path the XPE plugin(s) should try to follow...

It looks good to me and logical as you wrote it for the Launch button
With the launch of truly portable apps and just opening the Temp folder for the others, to avoid touching the host system.

The extraction with the file list should be a little faster by avoiding extracting, writing to disk, files that are later deleted which also takes a bit of time.
So a little better, but for the Launch button, it's good to have the full extraction as you did. So, It would mean 2 different extractions, hmm
In any case, for Backupper, the important is to know which files are not needed and which ones to keep.

Hi James

Can only speak for myself, but I've always found your plugins excellent, well written, with no need to change anything!

I think extracting only the files you require must be quicker, but we're only talking seconds, whichever way you choose
Using a filelist to extract only the required files  was suggested only as an interesting alternative (at least to me!)
perhaps even more so if you want to copy straight to Target without any renaming being done, although that can be done
in the Target dir. It's up to the developer to decide what's best for that particular script, what he's trying to achieve,
his own particular style etc etc.
As far as the Launch feature is concerned, maybe, we could change the Tooltip to inform the user of it's usage,
or add something in the info button message as guidance

greatest regards
APT

Using a filelist to extract only the required files  was suggested only as an interesting alternative (at least to me!)

And one method I was Not aware of..

Adding a txt file (or even 3) to a plugin is simple and small in size...
And I will be testing this method...

Firstly, Thank you for this amazing project.

Two things i would like to ask for help with.

1. Using with PEBakery i can't seem to get it to work. it does not show up in the builds
2. I cannot get PE to login as admin if i choose switch to admin i get a blue screen.

Thank you again for all the time you spend on building and tweaking this amazing program.
