The Genius Drive Revamp Project
(OR Creating a VistaPE USB bootable
thumb drive with PGP by Varun Tansuwan)
IV. Installing Winbuilder &
Configuring VistaPE
Project
a. Downloading the WinBuilder
main
project website:
http://winbuilder.net/
b. The direct download page is
http://winbuilder.net/download.php?list.3
c. Go to the link above and download and
install the
latest WinBuilder (this guide assumes Winbuilder 076)
d. Extract the contents to a folder (this
guide
assumes c:\Winbuilder076\)
e. Run
WinBuilder.exe and on the right
side where it
says “Please select the projects you want to
download”
choose vistape.net/project then click the Download button on the left.
Note: It may have errors downloading certain parts. Just hitting the
Download button in the upper right, and clicking the download button
until all pieces have downloaded successfully.
f. Test a
build. When everything is done
downloading
you should be able to hit the big blue play arrow to start a script
build. When it is finished you should end up with a VistaPE-Core.iso
file in the c:\Winbuilder076\iso folder. This image file can
be
burned to CD/DVD and used to boot a machine into the VistaPE
environment.
g. Go ahead
and test the VistaPE-Core.iso
file. If
you are building under a VM you will have to transfer it out of the
virtual machine to do so. See Page 8 {II.a.xi} for instructions on
setting up network share. You can create a new VM and then map the
CD-ROM to the image file. If this is a physical CD just go ahead and
boot off of it. If everything is working it should boot to GRUB4DOS
first then continue to VistaPE.
Looks good so far.
