[DISCUSSION] WinPE Builders

Because the 2 is by registry only, like with 1903>1909

When mounting the wim and querying for info, it will show 19042.

Thanks for the info, it's a little confusing. Even explorer.exe, ntdll.dll,... file version are 19041

In the project, install.wim is not mounted, so build version is 19041.
Files are directly extracted from winre.wim and install.wim via wimlib, it is faster than mounting, copying and unmounting.

I will remove 19041 or 19042 and keep Windows 10 2009 - 20H2 in the version note to avoid confusion

 

All is still 19041 based, just a 20H2 EP, which creates the minor new build 19042, adds the new startmenu and some other minor new features, iirc, and adds Edge Chromium

MSFT seems to have picked up on it

Thanks for all the hard work, @chrisr
Very nice of you to create the latest update just in time for my Sunday afternoon testing!
I tested with Dutch 19042 iso, both x64 and x86, normal builds and "Full Software Hive" builds.

Even after using your great projects for 9 years, I still think it's a very special privilege to use your PE builders, no matter how many times Microsoft tries to screw things up for us!

BTW: Have you heard anything from (German) "C't Magazin" about featuring XPE again this year?

 

Thanks @Atari800XL, a bit behind now but I keep doing what I can with the time available.
It's also nice to have people like you behind it.

It's a long story that continues with "C't Magazin", years now.
It is good to make known the project and with the front cover and a nice article it looks good for their sales and subscriptions.
In France we used to have this kind of technical magazine, but unfortunately they have disappeared for mainstream magazines, full of ads and not really interesting.
They asked my permission to re-publish, for the end of this year, so it should be soon.

 

C't is still a reputable magazine in Germany, it's nowhere near as bad as some bully on the "old forum" would have us believe...
On the other hand: I always assumed that they paid you at least a small sum for all your troubles (or some type of gift, etc.).
In the 90's and 00's I bought a lot of C't issues, and learned a lot from it. Around 2011, I read about Win10PESE for the first time in C't, I still remember how awesome all the dozens and dozens of options, check boxes and radio buttons in the Winbuilder screenshots looked...
I also remember thinking: "Some day, I'm going to learn how to build my own PE"
(It turned out it wasn't as complicated as it looked, thanks to some brilliant and Friendly Frenchman).

 

hello;
how to add a shortcut in the taskbar in win10XPE










Thanks

 

Not working with 20H2 X64

 

for example
[PinUtil]
TaskBar1 = Y: \ Programs \ Google Chrome_x64 \ chrome.exe

it does not work.
must surely inform the function elsewhere


ow to define them taskbar0 or taskbar9?
