"Unable to create file" when building TBWinPE

[plain]

I was successful creating a WinPE boot disc using Windows 8.1 ADK and IFW 2.97d but now that I have installed 2.99 I am unable to create an ISO image or burn straight to disc. Keep getting the "Unable to create file \boot\BCD\{51d79d52-06c9-11e6-a506-00190e179abc}.TMContainer00000000000000000001.regtrans-ms (I may have too many zeros here but you get the idea)

I had replaced IFW 2.97 with 2.99 and used the old TBWinPE on my root drive and when that didn't work downloaded a current zip file for TBWinPE thinking maybe I needed that. Everything works great up to the point of making an ISO or burning a disc like I stated above.

Any suggestions? Also, I did a search and the closest thing I could find didn't address what is happening to me here. ( I don't think anyway)

Thanks guys for the help.

maybe delete the existing iso folder in the tbwinre directory (under program
files for ifw) and recreating it bu running it again.

Okay, I deleted the ISO folder still no luck. So then I uninstalled all TeraByte Programs and tried again. Still no luck. I was looking through some notes I try to keep so I won't have to come back and post questions and it seems last year or whenever 2.97d came out, I had to find another route to convert the WIM to an ISO file. I didn't explain myself well enough to post here and I don't remember any details. So I will try to go the route I have in my notes. I do remember having this issue before now that I read my notes, however I don't remember what any error messages might have said. Every error message I have gotten the past two days though has the same text and numerical sequence I posted earlier if that makes any difference. More to come.

it maybe the file length, udf piggy backs off iso9660 and that 64 char
limited may still exist, I'll note to check that for next update.

although \boot\BCD is a file so it won't be able to create a \boot\BCD\ type
folder ?

An Update.. I'm pretty embarrassed about this but I am pretty sure my problem stemmed from my using the shortcut to the exe that has been on my machine from a previous installation. When I went straight to the TBWinPE folder downloaded from the web site and unpacked and used the exe directly, everything worked great. I didn't follow your very specific instructions.... DOH!

[sergios]

So now everything is fine?

[plain]

Sorry for the delay. Yes, everything went well making a new ISO image of IFW 2.99 on a Windows 8.1 PE disc. Curious that the shortcut that caused me all this trouble actually had a working exe at the end. I had installed 2.99 and would have figured the exe would have been replaced. Anyway, all is good now. Personally since TeraByte is making it so easy to use Windows PE sources I probably won't go back to BartPE. There is now almost no effort on my part (when I do things properly) to have a good WinPE disc including TeraByte products.
