Bart's Preinstalled Environment (BartPE) v3.1.4 Beta


Overview :

Bart's PE Builder helps you build a "BartPE" (Bart Preinstalled
Environment) bootable Windows CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows
XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, very suitable for PC
maintenance tasks. It will give you a complete Win32 environment with
network support, a graphical user interface (800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS
filesystem support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS,
rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and so on. This will
replace any Dos bootdisk in no time! PE Builder is not a Microsoft
product and does not create Microsoft Windows Preinstallation
Environment ("WinPE"). Using PE Builder does not grant you a license to
Microsoft WinPE or to use the Windows XP or Server 2003 binaries in a
manner other than stated in the End-User License Agreement include in
your version of Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. Microsoft
has not reviewed or tested PE Builder and does not endorse its use.
Please do not contact Microsoft for support on the preinstallation
environment that has been created by PE Builder! Microsoft does not
provide support for PE Builder or for the preinstallation environment
created by PE Builder. The PE Builder program (pebuilder.exe) runs on
Windows 2000/XP/2003. It does not run on Windows NT4/ME/9x. To avoid
any confusion, the bootable media's generated by PE Builder should be
called by it's nickname "BartPE"!

What's New:

Changes to pebuilder.exe:
- The Windows files are build/copied in UPPERCASE.
No need for mkisofs.exe to uppercase the entire CD anymore.
This opens the option to burn for example with Nero Burning Rom
v6.6.0.6
(and higher). Here is how to burn when using Nero Burning Rom:
1) New compilation, CD-ROM (Boot),
[Boot] Image file=<PE-Builder>\BartPE\bootsect.bin, kind of
emulation=no
emulation, number of loaded sectors=4
[ISO] data mode=1, file system=ISO 9660:1999
*** Important! any other file system then "ISO 9660:1999" will not
work!!! ***
2) Add all files and folders from your pebuilder output folder
(<PE-Builder>\BartPE by default) to your compilation.
3) Burn it.
- Added a "config" button to the plugin dialog to start a configuration
tool
for a plugin. This configuration tool can be a script or a executable.
Add to the [PEBuilder] section the key "Config".
Sample:
[PEBuilder]
Name="Nu2Shell"
Enable=1
Config=nu2shellcfg.exe @PluginFile@
- Added a parser variable @PluginFile@, which expands to the filename
of the
current plugin (absolute path).
- Added a "refresh" button to the plugin dialog to reread the plugin
files.
- Added "XP style look".
- Added a check for administrator rights, for building pebuilder needs
administrator rights.
- Added a check to tell the user that a beta version is being used.
Changed items:
- plugin\zz5\nu2shell: Added "nu2shellcfg.exe" for setting password and
boot
prompt. See "config" button in PE Builder plugin dialog.
- plugin\zz5\nu2shell: When a ramdrive is found, a profile is
automatically
build on the ramdrive.
The following shell folder IDs are created: CSIDL_PROFILE,
CSIDL_FAVORITES, CSIDL_RECENT, CSIDL_SENDTO, CSIDL_STARTMENU,
CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY, CSIDL_NETHOOD, CSIDL_APPDATA, CSIDL_PRINTHOOD,
CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, CSIDL_COMMON_STARTMENU, CSIDL_COMMON_PROGRAMS,
CSIDL_COMMON_STARTUP, CSIDL_COMMON_DESKTOPDIRECTORY.
- pebuilder.inf, small change, removed winbom.ini and winpeoem.sif.
Added
fsutil.exe
- plugin\ramdrive: Updated to a Nu2 Production version 5.2.10.2. This
version is specially created for BartPE.
Added items:
- plugin\firefox: Firefox v1.0.1
Removed items:
- plugin\peloader, sorry theTruth!
- plugin\!profiles. Nu2shell.exe now creates the profiles.

Ghost that doesn't have all the required files on it and, furthermore, won't
