Audio for WinPE 10.0.14393

$

0

Hello, I am currently using a base image from WDK 2016's copype command.
The purpose of this PE is for remote desktop only. I have managed to get mstsc.exe from the Win7 SP1 working as the mstsc from 10.0.14915 is not working.

Now the issue I have been running into is the audio support. I have played around with various sources online, and WinBuilder scripts, but have yet to get audio fully working.

So far i have managed to get drivers installed, and the audio services running, however the audio is not working.

madplay gives an error, and mmsys.cpl shows no devices unless i do the following...
for %i in (*.dll) do @start /w regsvr32 /s %i
then drvload the various driver files, ks,kscaptur, ksfilter, wave, wdmaudio, wdma_usb, hdaudio, hdaudss, audioendpoint, bda, gameport, and modemcsa.

afterwards, the devices show under mmsys.cpl, however going to properties>levels is blank, and madplay is still throwing an error.

Anyone have any ideas? thank you

USB has more partitions than available letters

I am curious as to what will happen if, for example, I only have 5 available drive letters in windows and I plugin in a USB HDD with 6 partitions. The 6th partition will not be mounted/receive letter, correct?

 

According to this http://superuser.com/questions/465730/access-to-a-disk-drive-using-volume-id-instead-of-a-drive-letter-in-windows, the drive can be accessed via a shortcut using start \\?\Volume{ID}\

 

Is there a way to tell windows to NOT mount a specified volume/partition?

 

Thank you

Need help changing drive letter for unavailable user profiles volume

$

I had recently followed a guide a guide I found on TenForums that showed how to entirely relocate C:\Users to another volume, by making use of Audit Mode, Sysprep, and an XML script. This is officially supported by Microsoft, topic can be found at:

 

http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1964-users-folder-move-location-windows-10-a.html

 

My setup consisted of a VHD, with 2 volumes within, one for C drive, and the other for Users. Everything was successful, 10 running fine, no issues at all. But then, even though nothing was wrong, I decided to create a new, bigger VHD, same setup as before, but with each volume being bigger. So I used Drive Snapshot to backup my C and Z drives, then proceeded to restore my backups into the newly created partitions. I then created boot files with bcdboot. Both volumes are within an MBR VHD, but 10 boots in UEFI mode, because the boot partition is located on a large GPT drive.

 

After booting into the OS, everything seems fine, until I enter my password and immediately get the message "The user profile service could not be loaded".

 

I'm not sure what happened, but either my drive letters somehow got screwed up, or the new VHD's disk signature is different, causing Windows to not assign the correct drive letters. I found an article mentioning that the Registry can be edited offline, and something to do with changing/deleting MountedDevices keys.

 

I'm not about to reinstall a perfectly good OS that was never corrupt to begin with, help is appreciated.

Looking to try new backup solutions, suggestions?

$

First, I will refrain from asking for a "best" solution, because "best" is in the eye of the beholder. To be clear, I'm not looking for a cloning solution, backup solutions are good enough, although if there is something that can do both I'll give it a look.

 

To date I've been using Drive Snapshot for backing up Windows. It's very reliable, also not free. But its' interface is amazingly simple. The major advantages of it are that backing up and restoring can be done in a Windows-based environment, and while Windows is running, it can also run in Linux but for restores only. It cant easily back up non-Windows partitions/volumes, unless you do sector by sector. Differential is supported, but no incremental. I'm basically looking to try something new. I also use TeraByte Image for Windows/Linux if I want to full, offline backups/restores. My current strategy is to alternate, doing frequent differentials with DS and occasional fulls with TeraByte.

 

Right now I'm considering DriveImageXML. It can do full backups, not sure about differentials/incrementals. I've used it a few times but was initially put off that it can sometimes be a bit slow. Info about files contained in the backup are stored in an XML file, but the actual backup contents appear to be contained in raw files that can be interfaced with by other standard software. I like this concept since XML is open and easy to deal with, being able to use multiple tools with a standard format is a big plus.

 

I also know you can use RoboCopy to back up. And there are multiple solutions for Windows based on Linux's rsync. I haven't researched much beyond that. I really would rather stay away from solutions that use proprietary methods (in which case Drive Snapshot is disqualified, however good it may be). Free is a plus but I dont mind paying if it's good.

 

So basically, I'm looking for something that has most or all of the following:

1. Preferably free (will pay if necessary), open source is desired but optional

2. Uses standard formats and methods that can be interfaced with multiple tools

3. Can backup/restore various OSes/partition types

4. Supports full, and at least differential or incremental, or both/all 3, I know these abilities may vary depending on what filesystems and partition types it can handle. This is at least preferred for more common filesystems like NTFS, and the Ext* that is most common in Linux.

5. Can do full/differential/incremental on encrypted partitions, I use VeraCrypt for encrypting Windows. I know the volume may need to be mounted for the encryption to remain (or do a sector by sector backup)

6. Can restore NTFS-compressed files in a still-compressed form (something DS cant do, they are always uncompressed again afterwards)

7. Can do hot imaging (i.e. while Windows is running)

 

I'm not sure about the merits/disadvantages of backup on the basis of files vs sectors, I suppose each has positives/negatives. With a sector by sector backup you must backup/restore both used space as well as free space, I would like to avoid doing this with free space. This is especially important with encrypted volumes, which are raw if unmounted. All my OSes are on an SSD, so there are write-hit considerations. If someone can elaborate their expertise on this bit then I'd be glad to hear it.

 

Thanks again!

Alternate ways to download files via batch.?

$

While trying to create some new plugins for Win10PESE I stumbled about some downloading issues.
Using provided tools such as wget or webget I wasn't able to download files from the EF Software Site via command line.
Site: http://www.efsoftware.com/dw/e.htm.
x64 portable version of EFCommander: http://www.efsoftware.com/dw/wz6.cgi?cw

I see that this site uses java script and it seems that wget is not able to follow them correctly (honestly, I'm guessing only).
Example code line for wget I used before:
SET "_DestDir=%~dp0" 2>NUL
IF "%DestDir:~-1%"=="\" SET "DestDir=%DestDIR:~0,-1%" 2>NUL
SET "_URL=http://www.efsoftware.com/dw/wz6.cgi?cw"
SET "LANG=EN"
SET "LANGUAGE=EN"
SET "TSTAMP=-N"
SET "VERBOSENESS=-v"
SET "TRIES=--tries=3"
SET "WAITRETRY=--waitretry=2"
SET "CACHING=--cache=off"
%_WGET% %VERBOSENESS% %TSTAMP% %CACHING% %TRIES% %WAITRETRY% "%_URL%" -P"%_DESTDIR%"

In the meantime I tried to "bypass" this issue by calling powershell and bitsadmin.
The code below is what I have so far. It might be of help somehow but some code lines are really clumsy in my eyes.

Could anybody guide me here?
Am I guessing right that wget isn't able to resolve links from sites written with java script?
If No, is this a syntax problem I didn't solve here?
If Yes, are there any other tools (freeware) that are able to download files from this/such site(s)?

Regarding bitsadmin.exe - is it legal to provide this file inside a plugin script encoded via Winbuilder?
Maybe my coding attempts below are reliable alternatives (in general) to external tools that must be downloaded for this specific task?
If so, maybe someone could help to improve code?

Hai,

 

       I am trying to lan boot windows 7 from iscsi.

 

But when i add CONF.IPXE to ipxe.iso using ultaiso software, it hangs at initialize-device stage.

 

If unmodified it boot ok. But commands have to typed manually.

 

How to add CONFIG.IPXE without disturbing ipxe.iso?

 

 

Note: IPXE.ISO size 684kb, after adding CONFIG.IPXE it goes to 300kb.

Hello team, over the weekend while working on another project, I had an idea for resolving all the various dependencies in WinPE when it comes to implementing various features, or just trying to get something to run, and this is what i came up with...

-Run ProcMon in the background.
-Capture ProcMon's output in realtime.

-Copy files from the windows source into our PE at runtime.
-Copy those files to another directory for later sort/inject into next PE image.

 

Instructions:
-Extract install.wim, or mount install.wim to .\Source

-Add Filters as necessary in .\Data\Filters.ini (for excluding files/data)

Grub4DOS behaves weird on menu.lst compared to typing command by hand (for my ugly hack)

After I've completed writing loopboot hook script for arch linux loopback booting, Wonko came up with an idea to use UUID instead of figuring out drives and partition and edit menu.lst manually
 
 

Very good  :).

Latest 0.4.5c:

I believe you can use - instead of hardcoding a disk,partition for the root command, a tag file or a UUID and use again find --set-root, and use the batch capabilities of grub4dos to derive the loop0pn and /dev/sdmn  :dubbio: but possibly it is not worth the time/effort.

 

Good work.  :thumbsup:

So I'm playing around with grub4dos, but I can't figure out how to find a file specifically in a drive, since I have two Arch Linux installation, so I map a RAW image into the first drive (hd0) (step 4) so Grub4DOS can find the file in the RAW image partition (step 5) and save the UUID in the variable (step 6). 
 
Then I unmap the RAW image (step 7), map it again into (hd3) (step 9),
here's the problem: step 10 doesn't work on menu.lst, but it does work when I type the command by hand. How does this work?
 
Because of this the user had to manually edit the partition in the menu.lst (Sorry Wonko!)
 
I know this is an ugly hack, so if you have better idea rather than this ugly hack let me know

I would like to use windows multipoint server 2012. 

 

Already I have been using vmware as multi seat for 2, (vga, hdmi)

 

Does multipoint works the same as vmware? extending destop? or by RDP or pxe?

 

Which way multipoint server 2012 works?

 

And also  Aster, SoftXpand, Betwin, Userful? How this software works?

 

Does the software installed on server should have support for  multiuser, if both are accessing it at same time?

 

Requirement is to run individual  desktop for  every user without interfering the other user...

 

Really confused. Plz let know in details with web links...

How to capture computer screen to video

why do you record the computer screen?
"How to show my gameplay to my friends?", "Can I use some program to record my Webcam chat?" When you have problems of these, you may need a tool to capture your computer screen activity and save it to a video file.

Besides the case we mention above, you will need to record your computer screen in following scenarios.
Screen demos.
Training videos.
Teaching videos.
Animated tutorials.
Animated presentations.
Animated help files

Do you need a camera or camcorder to record the computer screen?

If you want to record every click of what you have been doing on computer, camera is not the only choice.
Because a camera or comcorder in front of your computer to record your screen is not practical with the following reasons:
1. It can not record the screen precisely.
2. The resulting video will be fuzzy.
3. The recording is not easy to edit.
4. The video file is too large for web sharing and transmission

Computer screen recorder is what you need.
You could use some screen software to record desktop screen to video, and save as avi,wmv,swf,flv format,which could upload to Youtube and other blog or video share website immediately.Also, the record video file size is much less that the camera.

How to record your screen with screen recorder?

To record your screen activity with Total Screen Recorder, you have 2 steps to go:

Step1: Download Screen Recorder and Set It Correctly
Before start to record,let’s download a screen recorder first.
http://www.totalscreenrecorder.com/download.html
Setting must be done correctly.We need to decide the region to capture.if you want to record the whole screen,click full screen;if fixed screen,fix your area.

Interface of Total Screen Recorder.
Red button is the starting menu.

Step 2: Let’s Get Started to Record
After finishing all the settings,click the start button.Then a green frame will appear,which is the area needed to be recorded.Since you have started,do whatever you want,they will be recorded.If you have finished your recording,stop it,save the file and watch the play back.It's easy and convenient.

SharpBoot

Current version: 4.4

 

SharpBoot is an easy to use utility for creating multiboot ISO files or bootable USB keys. It's another free and open-source alternative to Xboot and it's simple: you just need to drag-n-drop ISO/IMG files and click on a button, and you can directly try it on QEMU that is integrated.

You can choose between Syslinux and Grub4Dos, Fat12, Fat16, Fat32 or NTFS, 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 or 1280x1024 and even the background image (ImageMagick is integrated so that images can be made compatible with Grub4Dos) !

It's available in the following languages :

  • us.png gb.png English
  • fr.png French / Français
  • de.png German / Deutsch
  • ro.png Romanian / Română
  • cn.png Simplified Chinese / 中文(简体)
  • tw.png Traditional Chinese / 中文(繁體)
  • ru.png Russian / ру́сский

  • es.png Spanish  / Español
  • cz.png Czech / Čeština (55% translated)
  • it.png Italian / Italiano
  • pt.png Portuguese / Português

Here's what it looks like :

(screenshot from version 4.4)

As you can see, the UI is quite like Xboot's, but there's some more features.

Any suggestion or comment is welcomed

 

Also if anyone gets a "File not found" when generating ISO / USB, please report the exact error (the important thing is the file name) because I often get this error but I get it very rarely

Explorer.exe Issue from scratch.

$
0
0

Hello Team, i am currently attempting to run explorer on the WinPE v10.0.14915 that comes from the CopyPE command.

Using my GetDeps program to help me, no registry or files other than explorer.exe are detected, even when pre-checking the file for imports.

I just get the error when running from a command line: The system cannot execute the specified program.

I followed the explorer shell script from Win10PESE and got nothing. (adding files & reg) I thought it may be due to msvc missing, but even after installing that, it refuses to exec. It does not require .Net.

All I can think of is WinSxS assemblies to blame.

Anyone have any ideas? Thank you
