Hi, All.

Hi,

First of all thanx, great job... just less destructiv than other tools to reduce a little the ISO size, not bad!

Only excuse me to be a noob, but when I compile the ISO, all goes well appart from AddReg directory parsing, had to delete the dummy file, and once i launch the ISO in VirtualServer, i get an error in LSASS.exe and.... reboot :/

did nothing excentric, no plugin apart from Ghost and Network....

What did i miss?

Thanx in advance,

Jaycee

Did you add anything via ADD_REG methods...

And u also send me the pebuilder log file via PM

[Jaycee]

HI!

Pm sent... btw i changed the wrapper as written to disable the regadd part. one problem less!

[bober]

i tried your plugin and it seem to work very well but the new wrapper.cmd script fells to build an iso.

is there an easy way to correct this?

I had this same issue. I fixed it by editing the wrapper.cmd and setting the _filecase to no. apparently this was setting bootsect.bin in all caps, when the script was looking for it as lower case.

all fixed

SaGE

[bober]

_filecase was already set to "no".

still no iso.

[justhink]

Sorry Guies..My mistake..... Please Change th following line in wrapper.cmd :::

set _setupezboot=yes

to

set _setupezboot=no

My personal advice :::

For Better output :::

Try to avoid UPXed Part... It may cause problems... Test it then use it..

[bober]

changed to set _setupezboot=no
removed upx
still no iso

[sherpya]

uh
nice so I don't need to update it
As I said before my buildscripts are for reference,
they do minimal things it's just a template for ppl want to add
more features.
Anyway I would suggest some things:
- filecase.exe is not needed, infcachebuild does it
- I don't recomend to upx system files, this will cause an increase of memory
usage

btw :: in a batch is the same of rem? I hate rem

I had a problem with the build script 2.5.2 copied from the post earlier in the thread.

I had no sortfile, and (my)mkisofs.exe choked on the command line generated by the script, and refused to build the .iso.

The problem was the _sort variable, which is used for 2 distinct purposes in the scipt:
1) it is set to yes or no in the settings, to determine whether or not to use SortMenu.exe
2) it is used to set the -sort <sortfile> switch to (my)mkisofs.exe at the end of the script.

The problem was, if there is NO sortfile, _sort should be an empty string (so there will be no -sort switch), but instead it is either "yes" or "no" from use 1. The fix was to add another if after the if exist %_sortfile%, as shown below.

rem existing code, near the end of the wrapper.cmd file
if exist %_sortfile% (
echo ----
echo Detected sort file %_sortfile%, it will be used.
set _sort=-sort %_sortfile%
)
rem new code to fix the problem
if not exist %_sortfile% (
echo ----
echo No sortfile detected, no sorting will be done.
set _sort=
)

Hope this saves someone some headscratching.

Sherpya, you can safely use :: instead of REM - back in 1996 I've done some testings on a 286 with a ~4,82Mhz CPU comparing the speed performance using a few hundred :: and then repeating the same test but using REM instead - go figure - after testing several rounds with both files, the :: always ran faster than the one with REM's.

In these days this I guess this is redundant..

sort file is available under BSv2.5.3 as "sort_pe.txt"
or u set ur own by using

@echo off
FOR /f "tokens=1* delims== skip=1 eol=;" %%a IN (%CD%\input.inf) DO IF "%%a"=="volumeid" SET _volid=%%b
IF "%_volid%"=="" SET _volid=WindowsPE
set _sortfile=sort_pe.txt
set _mkisofsexe=mymkisofs.exe

If there is no sort file then script automatically skip that portion..

Hey Justhink,
Where can I get the latest version of your build scripts? I did something to the one I've been using 2.5.1 and now it isn't working right so I want to start over but with the latest version. The links posted earlier in this thread and also on your forums on your www don't work anymore. Or is there a later postprocessing script with even more features?
Thanks much!
UPDATE:
Somehow the %CD% parameter is no longer being passed to wrapper.cmd so it's failing. I just added a "set CD=c:\pebuilder" and "cd /d %CD%" lines at the beginning of wrapper.cmd so that fixed it as long as I always have pebuilder in c:\pebuilder. Still hoping to get v2.5.3 for all latest features though.

If you are using the original Sherpya fake mkisofs then the batch file has 2 parameters which you can set into environment variables by:

for %%i in (%1) do set iso=%%~i
for %%i in (%2) do set pedir=%%~i

[swspjcd]

Thanks for the reply. I actually tried that first because both of those are already in my wrapper.cmd but "pedir" ended up pointing to "c:\pebuilder\builds". What I can't figure out is where the %cd% variable is being passed from. I added a "echo 1=%1 2=%2 3=%3 ..." to the beginning on wrapper.cmd to see what exactly was being passed to it but it looks like only "C:\pebuilder\isos\test.iso" and "c:\pebuilder\builds" are passed.

%CD% doesn't need to be passed, it's always "there" in any cmd session and points to the current working directory. Just type

CODE

echo %CD%

in any command window to get the drift...
