Win10XPE - Build Your Own Rescue Media [2]

Kyhi said:

That does not answer my question... What are you trying to do?
If you are looking to find OS Keys with Showkey Plus - then there must be an OS Installed - as Showkey reads the Values from the OS Registry...........

If you are looking to create a custom version of WinPE with Explorer ++ as the Shell then you can try using other PE Media Builders...
Or you can add and launch Explorer ++ from within your Win10XPE image....
We do not use Explorer ++ as a Shell, because we are well beyond the limitations of using it..

I did it, after you said "PE Media Builders" I went after it and managed to do what I really wanted, thank you all

From the image below, #1 is from Kyhi post, there is XPE Plugin Creator, #2 is from mine , I don't see it, how could I get it?



I use Win10XPE 2022-12-18.

hello everyone, I know this is not the right topic for questions, but this is what I found

I am creating a winpe 10 boot.wim and I would like to know how to make the layout or explorer.exe the same as in 11

I created a winpe 11 x64, now I'm creating a winpe 10 x86 and I would like the layout to be the same.

as windows 11 does not support x86 I have this doubt

PS: I achieved!

Hi Kyhi,

If and when you have a spare moment, I was hoping you could take a look at the HWinfo script. HWinfo was updated to v7.36 the other day. I was rebuilding my Win10XPE build anyway so I went ahead and attempted to update HWinfo. I changed the version number and hit the "U" to update. The script threw an error about setupurl not being found. I manually verified that indeed the setupurl link no longer existed.

However, setupurl2 was still valid and should have properly encoded an updated container file. Still HWinfo did not work. So I continued to exam the results of the script and found that it was producing an invalid HWinfo.zip file for encoding into the container file. No matter what I tried I could not get the script to produce a valid zip file and thus a working HWinfo.

Finally, I manually downloaded the updated program from setupurl2 location and produced my own zip file. I edited the container file and replaced the attachment in the container file with my zip file and it all works well.

Forgive my writing so much but I wanted to show that I made the effort to figure things out myself. Something is not quite right with the workings of the script and I could not fix the script with my limited experience. So I now come to you for your expertise. No hurry at all. Many thanks.

I'm sorry to have wasted your time, Kyhi.

I forgot the first rule of troubleshooting which is to first check out the most simple, obvious, and thus overlooked thing. Instead I walked deep into the woods of that script. After seeing your reply and taking a good break, I did what I should have done to begin with. I re-extracted the HWinfo scripts from the Win10XPE 2022-12-18 archive, copied them into the appropriate projects folder. and ran the update again. All worked as it should. I guess the previous set of scripts I was working with got damaged somehow.

Thank you for lighting the way.
