Bart’s PE Builder 3.1.4 Beta

Bart’s PE Builder helps you build a bootable Window CD-Rom or DVD from Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 very suitable for PC maintenance tasks.It will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (800×600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and so on.

This will replace any Dos bootdisk (even masterpieces like modboot and Bart’s Network Bootdisk) in no time!

What’s New in This Release:

Changes to pebuilder.exe:

  – The Windows files are build/copied in UPPERCASE.

  No need for mkisofs.exe to uppercase the entire CD anymore.

  This opens the option to burn for example with Nero Burning Rom v6.6.0.6

  (and higher). Here is how to burn when using Nero Burning Rom:

  1) New compilation, CD-ROM (Boot),

  [Boot] Image file=BartPEbootsect.bin, kind of emulation=no

  emulation, number of loaded sectors=4

  [ISO] data mode=1, file system=ISO 9660:1999

  *** Important! any other file system then “ISO 9660:1999″ will not work!!! ***

  2) Add all files and folders from your pebuilder output folder

  (BartPE by default) to your compilation.

  3) Burn it.

  – Added a “config” button to the plugin dialog to start a configuration tool

  for a plugin. This configuration tool can be a script or a executable.

  Add to the [PEBuilder] section the key “Config”.

  Sample:

  [PEBuilder]

  Name=”Nu2Shell”

  Enable=1

  Config=nu2shellcfg.exe @PluginFile@

  – Added a parser variable @PluginFile@, which expands to the filename of the

  current plugin (absolute path).

  – Added a “refresh” button to the plugin dialog to reread the plugin files.

  – Added “XP style look”.

  – Added a check for administrator rights, for building pebuilder needs
