[Updated] O&O Software Collection, Fully working (on XPE) Options

[RvdH]

• O&O Defrag Professional 8.x
• O&O DiskRecovery 3.x
• O&O SafeErase 2.x
• O&O UnErase 2.x

O&O Defrag Professional 8.x is fully working, the loader registers the OCX before the program is run so no need to register it through INF file settings. (The OCX registration is responsible for the creation of temporary files on %temp%)
With this plugin you can use the right click shell extension to start O&O defrag using the loader (i simply renamed the original and loader file )
Credits to Markus Debus for letting us modify his v6.x loader auto-it script

1.0.0 This Script Installs & Starts Required Services & OCX Registration
1.1.0 Added check if TCP/IP Service is started as it's needed to succesfully run O&O Defrag Professional
1.2.0 Added additional Check if Bartpe.exe exists on System32 directory

Download it!

O&O DiskRecovery 3.x need admin rights, you can add Administrators to System group using this command:
net localgroup administrators /add system
For XPE you can use:
0x1,"Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\900","108","||xpeinit.exe -m ""Set Administrator Rights"" net localgroup administrators /add system"
Download it!

O&O SafeErase 2.x
Download it!



O&O UnErase 2.x
Download it!


Hope you like them

Hello RvdH,

thank you for your plugins but there is a problem: direct link doesn't work and there are no links on your homepage to your plugins.

I got this message

Great job RvdH - I've been wanting to use O&O defrag for a long time. Have not yet tested your plugin - hope it works!

I also had the same problem with the direct links - but was able to get them nonetheless...

I uploaded ALL the O&O plugins to Rapidshare until you can get your link situation straightened out - download all the plugins HERE.

Hello RvdH,

I updated my site...links should be reachable now

@DigiWiz, plz test and post any issues...anyway it shoud be good as it is working flawless here on 3 different pc's...the inf I had originaly was way much bigger, using the loader the OCX gets registered whenever the program is ran, and thus didn't need those reg entries

Auto-It Source script

CODE

#Include <Constants.au3>
#NoTrayIcon

$systemdrive = EnvGet("systemdrive")

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c regsvr32 /s /i ""%SystemDrive%\Programs\OO Software\Defrag Professional\oodpeo.ocx", "", @SW_HIDE)
RunWait(@SystemDir & "\oodag.exe /service")
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'net start "O&O Defrag"', "", @SW_HIDE)
RunWait($systemdrive & "\Programs\OO Software\Defrag Professional\oodcntrun.exe")

Exit

Does it work with just nu2menu and without XPE?

[DigiWiz]

@DigiWiz, plz test and post any issues...

Unfortunately, it's not working for me - I'll try and decribe:

I made a couple of changes to O&O Defrag Professional Edition.inf to accomodate my setup - perhaps I've made a mistake somewhere...

The changes I made were:

The original .inf has in [SourceDisksFiles]:
files\system32\oodagmg.dll
files\system32\oodagrs.dll
files\system32\oodbsrs.dll
files\system32\ootmapi.dll
files\system32\oodag.exe
files\system32\oodbs.exe

I changed this to:
files\system32\oodagmg.dll=2
files\system32\oodagrs.dll=2
files\system32\oodbsrs.dll=2
files\system32\ootmapi.dll=2
files\system32\oodag.exe=2
files\system32\oodbs.exe=2

Since I have O&O Defrag 8 already running on my system, copying the appropriate files was easy. My OS is XPsp1a and is also what I use as a source when using PE Builder.

I also made my own O&ODefrag_nu2menu.xml as one was not included in the plugin.

I am using nu2 menu and a simple Geoshell plugin, MMC is enabled and working fine.

When I try to start O&O Defrag, I am greeted with:



... after a few seconds, O&O Defrag window comes up, but is useless - nothing works. Menu items, though they pull down, don't function. When I exit out, I'm greeted with THIS message:



Where am I going wrong? I am booting from CD, not a virtual image.

[RvdH]

The first message i never have seen, sorry but think this may be related to GeoShell / MMC2 Plugin (i tested on XPE)

The second message tells me the loader is not working properly, as you can see in the Auto-It script above the OCX registration takes place it should create " %temp%\O&O\O&O Defrag\ "

- Is your %temp% location pointing to your RamDisk?

CODE

files\system32\oodagmg.dll=2,,1
files\system32\oodagrs.dll=2,,1
files\system32\oodbsrs.dll=2,,1
files\system32\ootmapi.dll=2,,1
files\system32\oodag.exe=2,,1
files\system32\oodbs.exe=2,,1

Btw can you post your O&ODefrag_nu2menu.xml?
Interested to see what program your actually starting, this should be "oodcnt.exe"

Maybe i've ripped out to much for Nu2Menu & GeoShell, if you wan't i can sent the full inf...?
What MMC plugin are you using...can not find it on the forums

[RvdH]

DigiWiz, think i have pinned it down

just created a quick version (Virtual PC) to work with nu2shell... as far as i can tell the OCX registration goes wrong due to wrong setting of the "My Documents" or %Profiles% directory (on XPE this is on RamDrv...on nu2shell its NOT!)





Still searching for a way to fix this...maybe sherpya can give some hints?

Here is what I've done so far:

• added the registry settings you sent via PM - no joy. (tested via CD)
• I do have "Documents and Settings" (as well as many other "profiles") located in my RAMDrive which is set at B:\ ... there is, of course, no setting for O&O.
• I then booted using Virtual PC and manually add O&O\O&O Defrag\ocx to the root of the RAMDrive and to a few other places just in case - with no joy

Here also, is what my O&ODefrag_nu2menu.xml looks like - it should work fine...

<MITEM TYPE="ITEM" DISABLED="@Not(@FileExists(@GetProgramDrive()\programs\OO Software\Defrag Professional\oodcnt.exe))" CMD="RUN" FUNC="@GetProgramDrive()\programs\OO Software\Defrag Professional\oodcnt.exe">O&&O Defrag</MITEM>

So I get the same error messages as before. Here is a screenshot of O&O while it's running (but not working):



Hope to get it running in nu2!

[RvdH]

Yup strange...ones XPE is installed it works...have gone through all XPE inf files couldn't find the solution...maybe sherpya knows?

[Former_frodo_post]

RvdH

I have had a O&O all-in-one plugin in the works for about 2 months, i get easily distracted by new things like ghost v10 etc and generally any shiny new peice of kit, or actually anything shiny really

Anyways, im happy to cross these ones off the list.....see sometimes being distracted/lazy pays off and someone else does the work for you

[natcom]

is all i need to do is add this line to my INF

0x1,"Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\900","108","||xpeinit.exe -m ""Set Administrator Rights"" net localgroup administrators /add system"


to get O&O DiskRecovery 3.x to work ?

[RvdH]

@natcom, Yup

[natcom]

@natcom, Yup

thanks RvdH I dont need to change anything on that line ?

do I change this part Set Administrator Rights ? if so to what is best

[RvdH]

You can copy & past that line, i've include it in XPE-Default.inf right under:

CODE

; You may need to enable/disable these services depending on your configuration
0x1,"Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\900","106","||xpeinit.exe -m ""Starting NLA Service"" net start nla"
0x1,"Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\900","107","||xpeinit.exe -m ""Starting LmHosts Service"" net start lmhosts"

The "Set Administrator Rights" title can be named anything
