2018.01.21 ========== * PEBakery updated to 0.9.2 beta 2 * Changes to source file caching. Multiple caches can now be stored and will be named based on source build number and processor architecture. E.g. 6.3.9600.x86 - Windows 8.1 32-bit. * ADK project script removed. * Opera updated to OperaUSB 12.18. * SumatraPDF updated to 3.1.2. * New ADK project included in the MistyPE download. Select using the directory tree in the left panel in WinBuilder / PEBakery. Documentation for the new ADK project is also included in the MistyPE download (readme_ADK.htm) * FileBox fixed to browse for a directory and not a file in relevant scripts. * Error checking improved. * Additional option added to Boot.media > Create ISO script to create an iso file using a dynamic name (based on date and time) that will be created in the project root directory. Refer to the help information under the Advanced tab > option 6] WinPE.iso. * Additional options added to Tools > Advanced Options. * Tools > Update Project script updated to include two new options. This will allow future project updates if running PEBakery. * Erwan.l's Offlinereg added to tools. This great program allows offline editing of registry hives - bypassing ACL restrictions. 2017.12.26 ========== I have including changes made since the last full release of MistyPE (build 2017.04.01). I am tentatvely calling this release "Santa's Late Delivery". * PEBakery build engine included in the download. * MistyPE scripts updated to ensure compatibility with PEBakery. Thanks to the fantastic script syntax error checking built into PEBakery a number of syntax errors have been fixed. * wimlib updated to version 1.12.0. * Support added for the Windows 10 builds listed below - - 10.0.15063 - 10.0.16299 * Added JustManager file manager. * The following programs have been updated - - DMDE (3.4.2.722) - HWiNFO (5.7.0.0) - mkisofs (schily-cdrtools-3.02a07) - Q-Dir (6.8.2.0) * Minor change to filenames in the MWSnap language files to remove unicode filenames. All language files should now load correctly in MistyPE. Suggestion made by alacran. * Significant update to the "Boot.Media > Create ISO". mkisofs.exe is now the default program for creating .iso files. Default settings changed to build an .iso file bootable on both UEFI and BIOS firmware. Thanks to reboot.pro forum members cdob and Wonko the Sane for help with the mkosofs command syntax and suggestions. * LaunchBar settings moved from shell script to "Core > LaunchBar" * The following scripts have been updated - - Programs > aida64 - Programs > Ammyy Admin - Programs > defraggler - Programs > DriveImageXML - Programs > Ghost - Programs > LinuxReader - Programs > Partition Guru - Programs > PTEdit - Programs > Recuva - Programs > Drive Snapshot - Programs > WinHex - Programs > WoFADK - WinFE > FTK Imager Lite - WinFE > X-Ways Forensic The Main change in these scripts is a tabbed style interface. Programs can now be added to the cache using the ADD TO CACHE buttons in the scripts without running the full project. * Main project script option "6] Set 'Install.wim' Image Number" - index/number increased to 9 (requested by alacran) * Documentation updated. 2017.04.01 (April Fools Build) ========== The project has undergone numerous changes throughout the past four weeks - resulting in significant code changes. A number of hidden scripts have been introduced and code from the "Core > Core Files" script has been moved. Error checks and source verification have been improved. * The project has a new home - http://www.mistyprojects.co.uk/ * New program kindly developed for this project by reboot.pro forum member Erwan.L - DiskMgr. Intended primarily for WinFE usage. Refer to document - Project > Cache > Programs > WinFE > DiskMgr.pdf * LaunchBar (program launcher) added to the build. LauchBar is enabled by default (option to enable\disable is in the main project options (option 11)). Some LaunchBar settings are also in the Shell.Then.End > BlackBox Lean script. * Q-Dir File Manager added. This is now set as the default filemanager. A43/FileManagerPE can be selected if required (refer to the settings in the "Essential > FileManager" script). * Following programs updated - DMDE, CloneDisk. * Following scripts updated - - Ammyy Admin (Filebox added for copying from local directory) - defraggler (updated the version downloaded) - Recuva (updated the version downloaded) * Main project script includes new options - including Admin and UAC checks and logfile generation (see "Options 3" tab). * Following project scripts removed - - Tools > ADK For Win 8 - Tools > ADK For Win 8.1 - Tools > Create a Cache from WinRE * New project scripts added. Use the "Tools > ADK" script to download/ install/build WinPE from an ADK with any required packages. ADK for Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10.0.14393 supported. Refer to help information built into individual scripts for more information - - Programs > WoFADK - Tools > ADK - Tools > Advanced Options - Tools > Add Program - Tools > Cache Files - Tools > Update Project * TAB effect user interface introduced in a number of scripts including the main project script. * Added search for "install.swm" if "install.wim" and "install.esd" are not found. Thanks to reboot.pro user PTAHDEL0H0. See link below - http://reboot.pro/topic/21459-mistype-windows-10-pe/?p=202908 * Fallback language support improved. * Wallpaper script fixed following a bug introduced in one of the beta releases. * Bug in SysWoW64 support for Windows 8.1 fixed. * Support for Browse for Folders and SysWoW64 now working in Windows 10.0.10586. * Documentation updated. 2017.03.08 (Beta) ========== * wimlib updated to version 1.11.0 * Support added for the Windows 10 builds listed below - - 10.0.10240 - 10.0.10586 - 10.0.14393 Note - Windows 10.0.10586 has limited functionality compared with builds 10.0.10240 and 10.0.14393. SysWoW64 is not working. Browse for Folders is not working. Properties Dialog is not working. * Added support for "File Copy Progress" bar if Windows 8/8.1 source(s) are used. * 7-zip updated to version 16.04 * Updated PartitionGuru script - a 64-bit release is now available. PartitionGuru will need to be installed locally and copied to the Cache during the first build. * New script to run a custom batch at startup. (Programs > Add Custom Batch....) * Documents have NOT been updated. 2014.07.06 ========== * wimlib updated to version 1.7.0 * Fixed a bug with SysWOW64 support when building from source files created by running the Create a Cache from WinRE script. SysWOW64 registry settings were missing - resulting in a number of errors including open with and save as not working in running programs. Fix also applied to the ADK scripts (when building from host OS source files). * Cosmetic updates as requested by alacran (see http://reboot.pro/topic/18917-mistype/?p=184695) * Developing Program Scripts section rewritten with to include some example scripts + additional information about how tasks are handled in MistyPE 2014.06.04 ========== * Fixed bugs in Create a Cache From WinRE, ADK for Win 8 and ADK for Win 8.1 scripts. Language settings from source files was not being used. * (Hopefully) fixed a bug in Create a Cache From WinRE - efisys.bin (required for UEFI boot from CD/DVD) was not being extracted on non-en-US sources. * CloneDisk script added. * Free Virtual Keyboard script added. 2014.06.01 ========== * SysWOW64 support added when building from Windows 7/7(SP1)/8/8.1/8.1 Update 1 sources (should also work with some Windows Server 2008/2012 sources). The 5-Wow64 script was used as a base to identify file and registry dependencies. Credit therefore goes to everyone involved in the 5-Wow64.script (including JFX, Lancelot, 2aCD, ChrisR and "...to everybody on the BootLand forums for helping on the debuggind and improvement of this script."). Select 4] SysWOW64 in the main project script options to add SysWOW64. * A number of changes were made to the core script - wimlib-imagex now uses file lists when extracting dependencies from install.wim/boot.wim. This significantly improves build time, but has meant that any program scripts containing paths for file dependencies has required editing due to wimlib preserving directory structure(when extracting from file lists). * Fixed a bug in the Create ISO script - ini file was not being read. * Fixed a bug when x64 local sources are used (in Create a cache from WinRE and the ADK scripts). Due to the way in which SysWOW64 redirects to the \Windows\SysWOW64 directory when running WinBuilder on a 64-bit system the file dependencies were being cached from \Windows\SysWOW64 instead of \Windows\System32 A special thanks (again) to alacran for requesting SysWOW64 support and beta testing. Due to the number of changes made in this build it is entirely possible that errors may have unintentionally crept in. Please report any issues (or positive feedback) on the support topic at reboot.pro - http://reboot.pro/topic/18917-mistype/ 2014.05.25 ========== * Wimlib updated to 1.6.3 Beta. The amended update add command significantly reduces build time when the INJECT method is used. * UEFI support has been added. * Create ISO script updated. It now contains several options including Flat Boot and RAM Boot or multiboot RAM and Flat boot. It's also possible to create a BIOS or UEFI bootable ISO - or BIOS and UEFI bootable. * Create USB updated to include the option to RAM Boot or Flat Boot or multiboot RAM and Flat boot. UEFI support is also included. This script will not work if running WinBuilder on a Windows 2000/XP/2003 system. * Create USB (GPT UEFI) script added. This script will not work if running WinBuilder on a Windows 2000/XP/2003 system. Only fixed type disks are supported. * Added error check to the ADK For Win 8 (and 8.1) scripts - these cannot be executed if running WinBuilder on a Windows 2000/XP/2003 system. * Project.Settings.ini is added to the build listing all programs and project settings used in the current build. A special thanks to alacran for requesting UEFI support and beta testing several attempts to get it working. 2014.04.24 ========== * Added a number of additional options in the core script - these are all enabled by default. The new options will remove a number of unsupported options from the right-click context menu. Thanks to reboot.pro forum member farda for these suggestions. * Added "Open with" workaround for WinPE 4.0/5.0. See - http://reboot.pro/topic/19732-help-with-open-with-in-winpe-4050/ * Added DMDE script 2014.04.14 ========== * Fixed problem with menu entries for Forensic applications - they were not being parsed in some circumstances. * KeyboardLayout batch file updated. 2014.04.12 ========== * File dependencies (to be extracted from install.wim or copied from the host Operating System) are handled in one (hidden) script - Core\required.files.script. This will make it simpler to implement any future file dependencies. * Added a script to copy files and folders from a local directory - allowing the easy addition of third party files. A menu entry will open the directory these files were copied to. * Added Tools\Create USB script - it's now possible to create a MistyPE bootable UFD during the build process. Use with caution - see documentation for more details. Tested with Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 8.1. * Added ADK For Win 8 (and 8.1) scripts. Refer to documents. NOTE - this has only been tested using Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 8.1. * Wallpaper support (.jpg) added for all builds - this feature was not previously working with WinPE 4/5. See Programs\Wallpaper script. * WinFE\WinFE script now contains options to use different combinations of SANPolicy and NoAutoMount settings. * Wimlib-ImageX updated to version 1.6.2 * Documentation updated - added section on using the ADK For Win 8.1. 2013.11.02 ========== * Edited Tools\Create a Cache from WinRE script - added build 6.3.9600 (Windows 8.1 - Final) to the list of tested/working sources. * Added the following program scripts - - WinHex - AmmyyAdmin - aida64 - TrueCrypt * Included FAU in the download. This is redistributed with the permission of the author (GMG Systems Inc) - refer to the project documentation. * Program scripts now contain menu entries - this should make it easier to add new program scripts. 2013.10.20 ========== * Added support for 6.3.9600 (Windows 8.1 - Final). This release appears to have fixed the problem reported in the 2013.10.13 release of MistyPE - "dd and DriveImageXML (and possibly other programs) not working with 6.3.9431 source files due to issues with wow32 and ntvdm.exe". * Disk Management (Diskmgmt.msc) now applies a .reg file instead of using an autoit executable. * Edits to the Eraser scripts - it's now possible to change the method used to erase files, folders, etc. The method is set from a menu entry in the BBLean menu. * Opera - 64-bit support added. * Various tweaks in core script - line 63 "FileDelete,"%Cache%\temp\*.*" has been added to ensure that cached batch files and .ini files are deleted earlier in the build process. Without this fix there are errors in some very limited curcumstances. - Added verification check from registry files extracted from boot.wim - only used if the wimlib-imagex checks fail. * Script structure has been changed for all Program scripts. Hopefully results in better error checking for any missing files. * Browse for folder support is added by individual program scripts even if this option is not selected in the Core script. Resulting in a more modular approach (see following topic "http://reboot.pro/topic/19042-modular-apps-philosophy-for-winpe/" for the philosophy behind this approach). 2013.10.15 v2 ========== * Minor edit to Disk Management script - thanks for spotting the error alacran. 2013.10.15 ========== * Added scripts for the following programs - Forensic Acquisition Utilities - FTK Imager - X-Ways Forensics - Disk Management Console (Diskmgmt.msc) - Keyboard layouts * JkDefrag scripts fixed - x64 batch files were not working * Fixed script that searches the root of all mounted drives for \Programs\MistyPE.menu.cmd 2013.10.13 ========== * New option to copy non essential programs external to boot.wim - refer to DOCs for more information. * More Keyboard Layouts added - refer to docs * Minor UI changes * Documentation updated - quick start guide added * Added scripts for the following programs - LinuxReader - PartitionGuru - Drive Image XML * dd and DriveImageXML (and possibly other programs) not working with 6.3.9431 source files due to issues with wow32 and ntvdm.exe. 2013.10.02 ========== * WinFE and shell scripts updated to execute WProtect.exe during the boot process so that disks are write protected (x86 builds only) * Documentation edited (winfe.htm). * Added MWSnap to the included programs. 2013.09.28 ========== * Removed Beta status - following approximately 200 downloads since the last release and no reports of any problems. * Added .htm type documentation to the MistyPE download - documentation also available at - http://minixp.reboot.pro/mistype/ * Fixed dd and bootrec scripts - dependancies were not being copied during the build. * Improved "Wallpaper" script - adding browse for file box to select a custom image. * Added settings in the relevant "Tools" scripts to ensure that they can't be executed during the project build process - applies to "Create a Cache from WinRE" and "Load project registry hives" - these are designed to be executed pre or post processing! 2013.09.21 (Beta) ================= * Now working with spaces in the path to winbuilder.exe * Added option to "Tools\Create ISO" script to remove the "Press any key to boot CD..." prompt. * Minor edits to project scripts to further improve error checks, warnings, etc. * Changed hard coded paths in "Core\Core Files" and "Shell.Then.End\BlackBox Lean" scripts - replacing with "%ProjectDir%". This should avoid any future errors if I decide to change the project name again.
