emmanuel Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 so, has anyone here tested compiled autoit scripts in WinPE? "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scriptkitty Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 (edited) I will test it out tonight, left my PE disks at home. PE has networking, so should take like a min to test it.

emmanuel Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 I'm about to test it myself... just the time to burn the disk and boot... will let you all know. "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel Posted May 22, 2004 Author Share Posted May 22, 2004 it didn't work, ran out of time at the end of the day, or I'd tell you what the error message was... it sure could be handy to have AutoIt work in PE, any ideas what I might add to my PE disk to allow AutoIt to run?

this-is-me Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I use compiled scripts all the time in PE. I am also this-is-me from the CD forum. I have used autoit for anything from password reset scripts to replacements for batch files. They all work fine in PE. Who else would I be?

emmanuel Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 really? which cd forum? now that I'm back at work (damned mondays, double damned spyware) I can try out my test app again, btw, here's what I compiled: (oh, and I'm testing a compiled app, not running a script via autoit3.exe ;check for something, put it in a MsgBox MsgBox(0,"title", "OSVersion shows as " & @OSVersion & @CRLF & "OSBuild shows as " & @OSBuild & @CRLF & "Comspec is " & @ComSpec) I figured I'd start small... is it the macros I tried to call that're screwing me up? (I'm using the real PE, not Bart's PE-like version, btw) "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
this-is-me Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 (edited) 911cd.net forums... I think the @Macros read their info from the registry. That means that if the info has not been entered in the registry before you create your cd, the macros will fail. Also try putting each macro into a separate messagebox to test and see which particular one messes up. btw "this is me" is looking at the help file according to your avatar, but "this-is-me" is not.

Triton Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I also replaced all my batch processing with au3 scripts, and also created gui wrappers for a few programs. Triton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 ok, back at my desk after spending four hours fighting spyware. *shoots all spyware/adware programers* I can again report the error in WinPE (to clarify, this is not a "PE-Like" boot environment, like Bart's PE-like boot cd (which cd911 is based on) it's the real WinPE available from MS for corporate clients and OEM manufacturers) I get the following error: "The system cannot execute the specified program." I get the same error when trying to launch autoit3.exe on it's own, or autoit3.exe script.au3 so, anyone have any idea what I might add to the PE disk that'd allow it to run autoit?

scriptkitty Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Sounds like the norm, actuall Microsoft version falls short. Bart's is better. Sorry not a corporate type, so don't have that perticular version and can't test it. Bart's version works with autoit, and a whole lot of addons, virus checkers, disk utils, and backups. I didn't realise MicrosoftPE didn't work well. AutoIt3, the MACGYVER Pocket Knife for computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 well drat... I've got WinPE to work on our network, and hadn't gotten Bart's to do that last time (the broadcom NIC was holding me back) well, maybe I'll check it out again, it'd be schweet to be able to have an autoit interface customized to my needs for reimaging PC's and such...

emmanuel Posted May 28, 2004 Author Share Posted May 28, 2004 I just wanted to tell you all that I have seen the light. BartPE has improved so much since I first saw it. The built in network support just put it up a notch into "abso-fucking-ltely" wonderful and I'll now be working with it instead of WinPE... (yay autoit scripts from a boot cd!)

steve8tch Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I have been using BartPE for last 6 months or so. I have it multibooting with various DOS and Linux utilities. This CD is my main workplace tool. I have various remote install utilities written in Aut3 - these appear to work OK but... I wrote a GUI front end for Robocopy (using Aut3GUI)- mainly to be used on desktops but my hope was it would work well on BartPE for pulling data off knackered hard drives!!) On a standard desktop it works really well (mostly ) but on bartPE... I think I ran up against the process limit problem. The GUI only half appears. I turn off the clock - bit more appears (I can't get tabs to appear at all) - I disconnect a mapped drive and a bit more appears. I want to get rid of the process limit - but I don't want full blown explorer functions - its just a rescue disk for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
