Win10XPE Project

Thank you all for yet another brilliant release, your work is always much appreciated :)

hi ChrisR

Thank You for the update ...

Seems some are having an issue with the presence of the > Anti-Virus Test File
The intentions where Good - But the perception is Not..

Hi James

The intentions where Good - But the perception is Not..

the EICAR test file is very familiar to me, but I guess if it wasn't, the sudden introduction might be alarming to many. I still think the test is good, IF your aware it's going to happen!

I did not see the AV warning because I followed the How-To instructions and allowed an AV exception to the working folder....
I would prefer to see the project fail to build properly due to other program.exe(s) AV reasons...
And Strongly oppose the interdiction of a Virus (harmless or not) as a test with this Project to verify the user followed instructions...

Hi

Well to me it's just a short line of code, universally recognized, added to the PreCheck scriptfile, which you can disable with %CheckAV%=False  by the look of it, BUT if you guys really don't like it I'm sure ChrisR will make it default to off, or just remove altogether

I also have an AV exception on my WinPE folder so no worries.
I had recovered the test from ct' mag but if the perception is the opposite of what is expected, I follow you and avoid it
Win10XPE_2019-11-20 is updated on server

Not to download again, the only change is in Projects\Features\PreCheck.Script

Code: [Select]

[Variables]
%CheckAV%=False

 
Thank You.....

Edit: Just to add to that.. I know some users have only allowed exception for the certain offending project exe's in the tools folder

thanks ChrisR 

another pre-Xmas gift

think BasicBuild plugin may be missing, assuming from update list it is meant to be included, if not we know where to get it

Hi APT,
Yes, it is traditional to offer a gift for christmas or end of  year.
I wanted to do it before the family ski holidays

Basic Build was not present in the first package shared
But at James' request, I then added it to the package before the announcement

I've already downloaded, and can't wait to play with it.  "The New Updates I mean"...……
Nice work guys.
Merry Christmas to TheOven and all aboard.
Regards.

Happy Holiday's To All..

 

hi

thank you for the update 
without it I couldn't see my mess in the old one   

Thanks.
but just FYI,
WinNTSetup4 have problem when building x64 iso from win7 x86.
because win7 x86 can't run WinNTSetup_x64.exe when building,
it fails download adk from internet.
so, some files and folders are missing in X:\Programs\WinNTSetup4\Tools\x64 folder.

I would think the build fails - due to the failed download....
It appears that GWT.exe is being blocked by A/V software

Here is screenshot.
It fails because x86 os system can't run x64 apps.

Use the "Launch" Button First to complete the download
or
Test by editing line #89 to

hi ChrisR

thank you for "RegAddDriver.cmd"    ( it was James to put me on the right way ... )

Hi, ChrisR.
If it is possible, add library devenum.dll.
It does not suffice, for example for work PotPlayer.
