I think ShowkePlus requires NetFx4 in your build.

You can create a new plugin and put it in the "Tweaks" location of the project and put that code in the "process" section of your plugin.

Hi,

One of the most challenging Macro in XPE ;)
I tough to make a small collection of tricks I learned over time, To easily work with shortcuts.

From the Macrolib:

Loll, was kidding, I got them :bsod:

Ahhhhhhhhhh !!!! that's what i'm tackling about.....

A public disclosure....


I have one...

Create an all in ram ISO of your project.

Apply This ISO to a USB drive with Rufus. (MBR - BIOS/UEFI - NTFS)

Format the main partition.

Apply your Project Boot.wim to that partition:
...

%giso%



%Target_Prog% = Path to Programs directory during build time (depends on all in ram)
%PE_Programs% = Path to Programs directory during run time (depends on all in ram)

You are...

Hi JonF, Long time no see! That looks great. Do you have a kind of change log ?

Yes, but if you need it often it's worth it, there are also other methods to add missing drivers after startup.

No you don't have to create a plugin. just extract your driver to a folder with it's required inf.

While in Winbulder go to "Build Core", in the bottom right you will find "Integrate drivers",...

That means You can integrate the driver and the printer will install automatically every time it's detected.

You probably could skip the procedure completely. and windows would find the printer...

Because XPE is based on WinRE instead of Windows installation files, I find it much more suited for the tasks at hand.

And you can nearly bring it has a viable has any other everyday OS... If you...

The building process is composed of these parts:

make a Core build
install Applications
install Additions
create Boot.wim
create XPE.iso

Once you have a fully built Project you can add new...

The junctions on the Ramdisk are automatically taken care of and re-allocated when disabling the ram drive in XPE.

Personally, I never used Ram Disk since the beginning of PESE.

It depends on what is included in Boot.wim but a slim project runs under 2 gig used. And when booted from memory, files are not copied back in ram but are executed directly.

See the Wimboot...

If you eliminate the ram disk you have 800MB more to run applications !?!

My PE has 1.4 Go Ram used at boot, and goes up to nearly 2 while playing vids with chrome.

I don't have any Dot net no...

Once you have a copy of CDUsb.y in the root of the XPE Boot Disk.

Create a Junction from Y:\Programs to Y:\Win10XPE\ISO\Programs, from within a running XPE...

I just did the exercise and it behaved like I thought it would, with the Host Boot Option:

XPE cannot Mount the drive as Y: If the CDUsb.y is not in the Root of the drive.

And if the drive is...

With UEFI:NTFS boot Strap you can boot Windows 10 in UEFI on NTFS / EXTFAT with secure boot... No problems...

And still boot MBR stuff all the way. GitHub - pbatard/uefi-ntfs: UEFI:NTFS - Boot...

From your ISO Folder copy CDUsb.y in the root of the boot Drive, also copy your Programs folder from ISO to the root of the boot drive. And give it a try.

You need to reproduce the file...

When you boot into XPE and open Windows Explorer can you see a Drive (Y:) Win10XPE_xXX ?
