Pic not displaying when file is present

[Shadowpp]

I am running a WINPE based boot CD (not writable, tho not sure if that applies to my problem) which contains the bmp (verified from doing a DIR) with my script in the same directory. Everything works great except my pic does not display. When I run the script on another pc running XP (full version, not PE) everything works fine. Anyone have any thoughts as to why this isnt displaying the pic? Help is greatly appreciated.....I am completely frustrated.

Here is my code

; This value must be updated whenever the script is modified
Dim $Ver = "2.7"

; Declares Global variables
Dim $FULL, $USERID, $COMPNAME, $TIMEZONE = ""

After much additional reading and testing I am still unable to get the pic to display. The bmp is present in the directory that the script is executing from so my understanding is that I do not required the FileInstall() command.

My testing so far:

1) I compiled the script and injected it and my bmp into a WINPE CD then booted it. After booting to the WINPE CD I executed the script from the directory containing the bmp. The pic did not appear.

2) I compiled the script and injected it and my bmp into a WINPE CD then booted it. After booting to the WINPE CD I then copied the script and bmp to a RAM drive and executed the script from there. The pic did not appear.

3) I built a WINPE bootable thumbdrive and copied my script and bmp to it. After booting to the thumbdrive and executing the script the pic DID appear.

GUICreate("Test", 415, 430, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))

$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("Logo.bmp", 20, 10, 100, 100)

Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions?

Try to specify full path to picture:

$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic(@ScriptDir & "\Logo.bmp", 20, 10, 100, 100)

First off, Thank you for your assistance!

I did modify my script as you advised but was met with the same result. No pic displayed.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is somehow related to booting to WINPE from CD versus some read/write media (tho it seems a stretch to me) as I cannot get the pic to dislpay when booting to CD but can when booting to thumb or running on my desktop.

[Richard Robertson]

You said it didn't work on a RAM drive, so read/write isn't the issue here. Did you check with a FileExists to see if the script maybe can't access the file?

[Shadowpp]

While I had previously confirmed the file existed in the scriptdir via explorer, I have added the following to my script before the form displays:

$FOUND = FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\Logo.bmp")

If $FOUND = "1" Then
    MsgBox(0, "Results", "File Present")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Results", "File Not Present")
EndIf

The result was the file is detected in the @ScriptDir but the form still does not display the bmp when the script is run from within WINPE. Running the script outside of a WINPE environment results in the bmp being displayed in the form.

Using Filemon before executing my script from the thumbdrive or from my desktop has shown that a .tmp file is created when my form displays.

Filemon shows no .tmp file when running from my WINPE boot cd.

I executed a SET command to see what the current TEMP and TMP values were for the thumbdrive and WINPE environment but nither had any value set.

I am thinking that my problem is related to the creation of the tmp file - or failure to do so - when executing from the WINPE cd.
