Win10XPE - Build Your Own Rescue Media [2]

ffrags said:

This problem is usually caused by the Windows 10 or 11 source ISO selected for use in the build. As I understand previous references to this problem, some source ISO's contain build version inconsistencies. For example, use of the currently available ISO version Microsoft will generate this error. I have been using Win11_23H2_English_x64v1.iso without issue.

Thank you. I tested it and the problem was caused by the new ISO file. There is no problem with the old iso file

Hey guys, I'm sure this is a stupid question, but since I used to use win10pese, and now found that it's been infected with azin, which both either don't seem to work right for me or else they disable my laptop's track pad, I remembered that the last (SUCCESSFUL!) build I made was with win10XPE, I downloaded it again, as I didn't have it at the time, as I accidentally deleted it, but the problem I was wanting to solve didn't get fixed by rebuilding my build...

The problem you ask? FONTS!!! I'm not sure if you can with win10XPE but I've been trying to find a way to easily add custom fonts, from trying the non-existent don't extension/install support on the final image, to just copying a full fonts folder over, and HELL, I even tried copying my build to the win10pese folder to use THAT projects fonts script, but NOOO... nothing works!!! It seems to boot fine usually, if I didn't mess something else up, but it always stalls out at a black screen with my mouse pointer looking like a "pointer with hourglass next to it".

Is there some EASY way I'm overlooking, to do this, or is there a script somewhere that'll do what I need? I KNOW I've had the font control panel and don't adding stuff working in the past, but I don't know if I've ever had the occasion to need to check if it works in win10xpe until now... Also, before anyone asks, I don't know if application install based don't installation works or not, just that the system based font associations and right click options don't work or appear, and as I said earlier, adding fonts manually doesn't seem to be feasible.

Oh, I forgot, I tried copying a font directly to the font folder after logon, and no dice there either, it may have copied, but if so, it didn't give a pop-up to install it, nor did any programs seem to see it in the font list...


Sorry again if this is stupid, and I know most probably wouldn't need this, but unfortunately I would love to have as much versatility as I can, and that includes being able to install my own fonts or other microsoft fonts, such as those included with msft office, (even though I'm using libre office)...

Any help I can get is greatly appreciated, thanks

Code:

;file
\Windows\Fonts\SegoeIcons.ttf

;reg
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Tmp_Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders",Fonts,x:\Windows\Fonts
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Tmp_Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts","Segoe Fluent Icons (TrueType)",SegoeIcons.ttf

or you can use pecmd

Code:

FONT <font path>,[starting partition] 
function: registered fonts or plug font 
■ font file path and start partition.
example:
FONT %CurDrv%\External Programs\FONT or FONT \WINDOWS or FONT \WINDOWS,C:
FONT %SystemRoot%\Fonts,0 
※ Note command of the one character is "\", the start of the partition from the specified font loom start searching all partitions Windows \Fonts directory, and ┃installation registration, define the initial partition can be avoided in the presence of the search machine floppy drive, start the machine omitted partition will search all partitions (including floppy)

i have added this to the build to analyse explorer crach ...

Code:

RegWrite,HKLM,0x2,"Tmp_Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe",DumpFolder,x:\CrashDumps

" explorer.exe.2680.dmp" but icant read it ...
edit
its ok now ican read it :)

I'm willing to try these steps, however, I'm not so advanced as to be able to just know that automatically a certain line of text goes into a certain time, with the exception of pecmd, which I could guess, but I'm still not familiar enough with it to be 100% sure...

Still wish there was a script to automatically do that stuff like other Projects have though...

I guess I'll try to figure your post and/or steps out, doudiii, but I don't put much faith I'm advanced enough to do anything too much more than script kiddie level stuff though... Heck, even some scripts I KNOW I've put together properly, specifically for other projects that SHOULD work with this project, I can't get to work without directory making or copying, let alone file extraction errors I seem to be getting as well. Seriously, as soon as it looks like something is working, by some miracle, by just adding an if/then style command(even unrelated), then something else breaks. I'm about to give up on fixing things cuz it's likely just some kind of change in the %temp% vs %Gtemp% stuff that should be easy for me to spot, as they're my own cannibalized scrips I cobbled together, for the most part, that I'm having issues with... Ugh :/
