Windows PE and XPE load auotmation

[Guest]

Hey guys, I'm using winPE via RIS to load XPE onto the target machines,

I'm writing batch files to copy and use dispart to partition. I'd like to
use a VB app to start the process, but when I load WinPE, the VB app doesn't
load.

Does anyone know a way to load VB apps so I can start a batch script from
there, or Visual C++ 6, or any other method. I would just like to alow the
end user to start the pc into network boot and then automatically reload the
OS.

Mark,

You have some options:
- Customize WinPE to include VB support (contact Microsoft for that:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/programs/sa/support/winpe.mspx)

- Create your own XPe image to replace WinPE in yoru boot scenerio. You can easy add VB support to your image.

- Use C++ instead of VB and make sure you use APIs that are presented in WinPE
