Modify Installed WinRE

[n8chavez]

Using the TBWinRE builder, the option to modify the installed WinRE is greyed out for me. I need that in order to build using buildscript.cmd, to add apps to the TBLauncher. Any ideas how I can have that option be available to me?

The installed WinRE wasn't found. You would need to repair it (or maybe it just needs enabled) for the option to be available. The log file (TBWinPE.log) may show more information. Also see: https://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/kb ... ent-winre/

Note that buildscript.cmd can be used in any of the build types (isn't limited to updating the installed WinRE). I assume you are just wanting to use that specific build type.

If that's the case, I have a bigger issue. My BuildScript.cmd is being ignored; none of my resulting build have any of the custom apps it should.

@echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion

:: This script will be run during the build process to handle custom
:: build operations.

:: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
:: Add script commands after this line

md "%TBWinPE_MountPath%\Program Files\CustomProg" 2> nul

robocopy "C:\Program Files\IFW\tbwinre\MyApps\Explorer++" "%TBWinPE_MountPath%\Program Files\Explorer++" /MIR

robocopy "C:\Program Files\IFW\tbwinre\MyApps\HBS" "%TBWinPE_MountPath%\Program Files\HBS" /MIR

:: Copy TBLauncher.ini to TBData
copy "%TBWinPE_ConfigPath%\TBLauncher.ini" "%TBWinPE_BuildPath%\ISO\TBData"

echo BuildScript running...

The enable script is ticked in the TBWinRE builder, and the locations of the custom lines have been verified as correct.

Does the log show that it was run?

You could pause the build (either in settings or use "pause" at the end of BuildScript.cmd) and then browse down the "mount" folder and see what's there. Just make sure to close out File Explorer before continuing so it doesn't block the build from unmounting. ("pause" in BuildScript.cmd only if not hiding the window.)

Not sure what you're trying to do with copying the Config folder's TBLauncher.ini file. If you want what's actually used in the build you would need to copy out "%TBWinPE_MountPath%\Windows\System32\TBLauncher.ini".

Here's the build log file, but I don't see where BuildScript.cmd was even called.

There's nothing in the resulting .wim to show that the "MyApps" dir was even mentioned either, which is needed.

It's for sure not running, because I put a "pause" command at the end of the script as well, with the windows not to be hidden. After enabling logging for buildscript.cmd I now get this line in the build log. I don't know what to do about it.

You're creating an IFW BootWIM build. IFW WinRE and IFW BootWIM builds will not run the scripts by default because they may prevent an automated build from completing without user intervention. However, you can override this by going into Settings, IFW WinRE tab, and enable the "Allow BuildScript to run" option.

Thanks! That solved by WinRE issue.
