[TOOL] XP2ESD - Create modern Windows XP installer v1.6.2

I have some problems with your new script too. I havent added anything or made any changes. It seems like the script have trouble with patching files and creating boot.wim, and exporting the wim to esd. My workdir is D:\XP2ESD_v1.5

Code:

@George King It seems that because of language issues, I can't integrate by running NLite alone .But ignoring errors can be done .
Tip: Language does not match.Another problem, Windows XP SP3.iso has to be renamed to recognized .
zh-hans_windows_xp_professional_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_vl_x14-74070 must be renamed likes winxp_pro.iso Otherwise It told me I couldn't release install. Wim

 

like this [TOOL] XP2ESD - Create modern Windows XP installer v1.5

 

Install.wim exists in XP2ESD folder. The ISO's are untouched. And there is a couple of TB's of free space. But, if the boot.wim gets mounted, can it be the Windows TrustedInstaller that restrict my admin user to update the boot.wim? I tested it on another machine also with a online ms user account that is administrator. Same result.

 

Hi guys

I'm a little confused...

I am not able to create the ISO with version 1.5.

I am attaching the process LOG and my config.ini file, in addition to images of the contents of WinXP_AIO_ESD.iso created and the location where it was installed in VirtualBox

Need help!


Note that install.wim is not in WinXP_AIO_ESD\Sources ...

 

On my daily user computer I have offline accunt also. This is Win 10 Pro 20h2 x64. I am running this script as an administrator by right click.

 

I don't have an online account, I only use offline. I always run the script as an administrator. My system is Windows 10.17763 Enterprise LTSC.

I noticed that the installation in VirtualBox is done in autosysprep \ virtualbox, while in the config.ini file the path is different: VHDFile=C:\Users\SunLion\VirtualBox VMs\XP\XP.vhd.

Could this be a conflict?

I am also using a script with NSUDO to start "XP2ESD_Builder.cmd" with TrustedInstaller rights, as shown below and the nsudo.exe files in a "Bin" folder:

if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" equ "x86" set "Arch=x86"
if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" equ "AMD64" set "Arch=x64"

@start /b "XP2ESD_Builder - TrustedInstaller" "%~dp0Bin\%Arch%\NSudo.exe" -U:T -P:E "%~dp0XP2ESD_Builder.cmd"

 

I will try to do that

 

OK
Here are my tests:

- If you run takeown / icacls commands in cmd, do they work?

I run the command differently, but it works.
I modified the takeow commands as below and it worked well:
example:
cmd.exe /c takeown /f "%TEMP%\boot\sources\*.*" >nul
cmd.exe /c icacls "%TEMP%\boot\sources\*.*" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F


- Can you try to mount boot.wim manually somewhere using dism included in the application folder?

YES
I took the test and it works without errors


In addition, you can edit XP2ESD_Builder.cmd to remove> null to see what failed.

Yes. I commented @echo off to get all the results. Follows attached.


RESULT:

- The modified takeown commands worked well.

ERRORS THAT CONTINUE:

1 - Mounting VHD still doesn't work!
"The system cannot find the file specified"

2 - [ERROR] The root of the WIM image is not a directory!

3 - ERROR: Exiting with error code 21:
The metadata resource is invalid.

 

It seem to have the same problem, the virtual machine won't end the process, cmd stops at [ 5 ] and no errors were reported .
By win10ltsb 2006 x86

 

Here are my tests.

 

Mountig VHD is in Auto-Sysprep.cmd, maybe some variable is not set correctly?

From what I've noticed, Mount works correctly.

In the file "ProcessNo@echo-off_2.txt", I located the error, on line 3118, it occurs during file cleaning, specifically in this command below:

for /F "tokens=*" %A in ('dir /s /b /a "X:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\*.txt*"') do (del /q /s /a "%A" 1>nul 2>nul )

I believe it is because of the spelling of "Administrator", because in PTB it would be "Administrador"

This is just a suspicion, because in other paths of the mounted file it appears correctly, as below:

REM Remove unneeded files
(del /q /s /a "X:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\ntuser.dat.LOG" 1>nul 2>nul )


Regarding variables, I only have doubts about Config.ini, which is stated:

VHDFile=C:\Users\SunLion\VirtualBox VMs\XP\XP.vhd

While the file is installed on VirtualBox in the auto-sysprep\VirtualBox path

EDITED

Located the command that causes the error above in "Delete LOG files" (AutoSysprep), line 631
