Winbuilder Windows 7

The Win7PE SE project provides a basis for building a PE environment using a Windows 7™ (SP0 or SP1) DVD and supports both x86 and x64 architectures. Copying the DVD's contents to a folder on your hard drive is highly recommended. Required Files: To support Win7PE SE x86/x64 builds, some files are required from Microsoft's WAIK packages. Build a Window 7 PE Boot disk with WinBuilder We use a PE disk to boot the fist machine at a remote site to set up a Ghost server from a NAS. As we got newer machines the XP based BartPE disk was not working as well as we wanted.

Building a boot USB, DVD or CD based on Windows 7 with WinBuilder and Win7PE SE Tutorial As many of you know, I’m a big fan of Bart’s PeBuilder and derivative works based on it like UBDC4Win. Having a bootable USB drive or CD I can run Windows tools from just comes in hand so often for task like malware/spyware removal, system recovery. Files contributed by members of our community. These are the files that you could download from winimize.com along. (For explorer shell only) Classic Shell is a collection of features that were available in older versions of Windows but are removed from Vista and Windows 7. It has a classic start menu for Windows 7, it adds a toolbar for Windows Explorer and supports a variety of smaller features. JFX, ChrisR, Rui Paz.

WinBuilder is a free application designed to build and customize boot disks (Live CDs) based on Microsoft Windows (WinPE).

2Projects

Scripts[edit]

Scripts are the building blocks of Live CD compiled with Winbuilder, and are used to build the core components of the Live CD for adding applications, and for configuration of a specific project. Scripts consist of a human-readable text file with the .script extension, and can contain Winbuilder scripting commands, the scripts graphical user interface, and sometimes encoded applications to be extracted when needed.

Projects[edit]

A Project is a collection of Winbuilder scripts maintained for building a complete Live CD. Each project contains multiple scripts, each responsible for adding features or applications to the build.

Users may build their own projects from scratch or use one of many projects actively developed by the boot-land community. Projects can be downloaded directly using Winbuilder's built-in download manager and used as-is or further customized to meet the individual's needs.

Actively developed projects[edit]

Gena - The Gena project provides a basis for building a PE environment using Windows XP sources and is the successor to LiveXP
nativeEx_multiPE - Live CD/DVD / Live USB that can be built from either Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 x86 sources.
Win7PE SE - The Win7PE SE project provides a basis for building a PE environment using Windows 7 or Windows Vista sources. A fork of Multi 7PEs.
Win8PE SE - The Win8PE SE project provides a basis for building a PE environment using a Windows 8 source and supports both x86 and x64 architectures.
Win8.1PE SE - The Win8.1PE SE project provides a basis for building a PE environment using a Windows 8.1 source and supports both x86 and x64 architectures.
Win10PE SE - Live CD/DVD that can be built from Windows 10 sources and supports both x86 and x64 architectures.

Inactive Projects[edit]

BartPEcore - running bartPE inside a Winbuilder environment
BB-7PE - A Windows 7 based Rescue focused PE using bbLean as its shell.
LiveXP - Based on nativeEx, contains a large archive of programs targeted for computer repair and administration

NativeEx - Small sized Windows XP PE boot disk (~50Mb)
NaughtyPE - Windows XP PE boot disk with sound support and other multimedia features.
PicoXP - Minimalistic 14 MB boot disk based on XP
UXP - Based On Windows XP for making a multiboot CD/DVD which includes The LiveXP and WinRoot (also for customization of the CD/DVD there are other apps used such as Nlite, etc.)
VistaPE - Based on Windows PE 2.0 (included on Windows Vista DVD and WAIK)
VistaPE CAPI - Based on VistaPE VistaPE CAPI provides bugfixes and enhancements to the original project and support for newer Winbuilder versions.
Win7RescuePE - Live CD/DVD based on Windows 7

All of these projects are developed and distributed freely and aim to provide an alternative to other popular Live CD distributions based on Linux such as Knoppix, Slax, Damn Small Linux, which are known for their use in rescue or administrative actions on PCs.

Use and reception[edit]

Use of the software to build various customized boot disks has been covered in articles from PC Quest,^[3]PC-Welt^[4] (the German edition of PC World, which also offers some customized scripts for building disk images including additional utilities, branded as pcwVistaPE^[5] and pcwWin7PE^[6]), the Russian edition of CHIP,^[7] and by TeraByte Unlimited.^[8]

CNET editor's review found that 'WinBuilder is one of the most easy-to-use boot disk creation tools in the genre,' and praised it for its 'novice-friendly interface', but at the same time warned that the 'program expects experienced users. For the most part, boot disk applications are for experts only.' The built-in Download Center was remarked because it 'simplifies procuring the boot disk applications.' Other features praised were 'its small size, fair memory overhead, simple instructions, and robust application installation wizards.'^[9]

Create your very own custom Windows-based boot discs

WinBuilder is an interesting tool which makes it easier to create Windows-based boot discs.

In a click or two you can, for instance, choose the type of disc you'd like to create (there are XP, Vista and Windows PE-based projects on offer). You're able to choose the components you require from each project, and grab them all with a click on the Download button. And scripts automate the process of creating the disc itself, telling you exactly what to do.

Still, despite all this assistance, WinBuilder isn't for just anyone.

You'll need to understand which boot disk project might be best for you, for instance. And you must have the appropriate Windows source disc to hand. (You can't create an XP-based boot disc unless you have a legitimate Windows XP CD, for instance.)

And while WinBuilder allows you to customise boot discs, again you'll need some expert knowledge to understand which customisations might work, and which really won't.

If you'd like to be able to create a Windows boot disc with some powerful extras - 7Z for archiving, say, or a disc burning tool to help you copy files from an otherwise unbootable PC - then WinBuilder could be very helpful. But you'll need to be a knowledgeable PC user to get the most from the program.

WinBuilder does a good job of automating the process of boot disc creation, but you'll still need plenty of Windows expertise to produce something that will work for you
