The result is a bootable PE 3.x, either from CD/DVD or from USB stick, nothing particularly different from *any* other PE around, and there is NO such thing as "root access" on Windows, there is "System" account (what any PE will use). (which not always - please read as NEVER - is the "true story" or the "whole story" ).Īre you 100% sure you connected properly brain to fingers BEFORE typing the above? iso from the files or make a bootable USB stick out of them)ĪT LEAST, you should point out how that is what MS says. Though NOT for the faint of heart, SP3 is NOT *needed*, all it is needed is to change the relevant key in the Registry, or more simply download directly the files without using the stoopid downloader. Of course it's your page, but that - as just seen - is plain misinformation. If using Windows XP, you will need SP3 and you also need to install the Imapiv2.0 Image Mastering tool (KB932716). Yep, it would be interesting to understand HOW the SHIFT+F10 was disabled, though I think that it's the actual "shell" that is built like that, check the WINPESHL.INI:ĪppPath = "%ProgramFiles%\OfflineScannerShell\OfflineScannerShell.exe"

I have updated the page on my website now to show how you can update your USB drive with the latest updates using the MSSE update download (same files!). Yep - shift+F10 does not work - so cannot load network drivers and get latest updates.
