Notes on Getting the Update Utility Working
After a lot of testing, I found that the update utility enforces region restrictions. Using a VPN set to Germany allowed the updates to download without any issues.
I also added an exception for the project folder in Microsoft Security. With that in place, turning Security or Firewall on/off didn’t affect the program.
This project launches Acronis True Image faster than any other build I’ve tried, including the factory PE.
2025 download link:
https://download.acronis.com/AcronisTrueImage_42072.exe
Compatibility Notes
- StartAllBack, StartIsBack10, and StartIsBack8.1 wouldn’t run for me.
- OpenShell worked fine, which may be why some projects include it directly in their scripts.
Driver Integration
If I uncheck “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement”, I get this message when running the program:
“Please check the path. Might be that he does not point to the chosen project.”

After clicking OK, everything continues normally and all drivers install correctly.
Total Commander
I also receive this message:
“Licence-file not found. Press Build to continue.”

The build still completes without problems.

I'm glad you managed to establish a successful connection to the Update Center.
There shouldn't actually be any country-specific limitations. I haven't configured anything on my end.
Regarding Startisback: Could you test the MultiPE project to see if it also encounters the error ?

I can say that that Startallback works fine in MultiPE but not in MergePE (black screen error)

Hi Kare,
I downloaded the MultiPE project and the startisback work perfect.
Is your project able to do links to the taskbar?
Also there was one file needed in the AOMEI Backupper that was needed for it to work
on my system. It is "fileProtectHlp.dll" also nice touch on adding the folder

Code: Select all

DirCopy,%ScrDir%\{app}\html\upgrade-now\,%prgdir%\html\upgrade-now\
DirCopy,%ScrAppF%\plugins\,%prgdir%\plugins\

Also, I had to change this line

Code: Select all

IniWrite,%Target_Prog%\%ProgramFolder%\cfg.ini,Language,LANGUAGE,""

so it would be in my native language.
This is a great project and we need to hit the paypal. Thanks for taking the time.

[CD-RW]

@prz42

Aomei Backupper: Yes, the language is currently only German. A language selection option will be added in the next version.
Ohhhhh, the file fileProtectHlp.dll is missing. This will be fixed in the next script version.
Thanks for the heads-up.

PIN functionality only works up to Windows 11 version. I need to test which version it is.
Add_Shortcut,Pin,".",x:\windows\explorer.exe",""

Hopefully CD-RW can check this plugin to see if it is compliant with LSP-MultiPE.
I know it doesn't have "MD5" enabled in the plugin. Hopefully this is a good solution.

Thanks for your new plugin.
Apart from a few minor issues, it works. I uploaded the Macron Reflect 10 script to the Update Center \HDD Backup and made it available to the user.
Adding an MD5 check only requires a few lines.

Code: Select all

[download]
if,%Arch%,=,x86,then
  set,%UrlPath_1%,http://updates.macrium.com/Reflect/v10/getmsi.asp?edition=0&type=2&arch=0&redirect=Y

  set,%FilePath%,%AppsDir%\MacriumReflect_10x64.exe

FileDelete,%FilePath%,1

If,Not,%FileMD5%,=,%ServerMD5%,Then
	Message,Err_MD5,Msg|
	FileDelete,%FilePath%,1
	Exit		
End

Some information for a shorter syntax:

Code: Select all

// Delete file
If,ExistFile,%Tools%\Test.exe,then,Filedelete,%Tools%\Test.exe
// Short Delete file
Filedelete,%Tools%\Test.exe,1

// Remove Folder
if,ExistDir,%AppsDir%\ResourceHacker,Then,DirRemove,%AppsDir%\ResourceHacker,1
// Remove Folder
DirRemove,%AppsDir%\ResourceHacker,3

Syntax ReqFile/CopyFile
wihout Value= only file
Value: 1 = Copy Mui file + Fallback
Value: 2 = Copy Mui file + Fallback+Munfile

ReqFile,File [,Value]

Source, target, and fallback are defined using the command SetReqFile before.

Code: Select all

SetReqFile,%Install_sys%,%Distlang%,%FallBack%,%target_sys%
ReqFile,VERSION.dll
ReqFile,WINHTTP.dll,1
ReqFile,WININET.dll,2

Send me the scripts via email, and I will try to get them working.

Mcp-hc needs Directvobsub vsfilter.dll to support .srt subtitles but how to put
this in a script: regsvr32 x:\windows\system32\vsfilter.dll

[CD-RW]

@Oscar
Check in LSP helpfile section PEinit.

System,SetPEInit,RegID,Startup,Register|vsfilter.dll

MultiPE Help is broken, clicking on an item does nothing.
MergePE Help is working fine

The following files are necessary to support video streaming in
sites like Daylymotion, but I do not know how to get them because
only 6 of them exist in the source.

Code: Select all

SetReqFile,%Install_sys%,%Distlang%,%FallBack%,%target_sys%

ReqFile, mdmregistration.dll
ReqFile, mf.dll
ReqFile, MFCaptureEngine.dll
ReqFile, mfcm140.dll
ReqFile, mfcm140u.dll
ReqFile, mfdvdec.dll
ReqFile, mferror.dll

ReqFile, mfh264enc.dll
ReqFile, mfmjpegdec.dll

If files are missing, the command Wim,Extract can be used.
e.g. file+mui fallback 64 Bit

Code: Select all

Wim,Extract,MuiFile,%Installwim%,%WIM_Index%,Windows\System32\shell32.dll,%DistLang%:%FallBack%,%InstallSRC%
Extracts the file 'Shell32.dll' from 'Install.wim/esd' in the WIM index %WIM_Index% and the language files from the Mui list to %InstallSRC%.

e.g. file+mui fallback 32 Bit

Code: Select all

Wim,Extract,MuiFile,%Installwim%,%WIM_Index%,Windows\Syswow64\shell32.dll,%DistLang%:%FallBack%,%InstallSRC%

MultiPE Help is broken, clicking on an item does nothing.

Actually Help was not broken, Windows was blocking the .chm file as a security measure


Solution:
".chm Help Files Open With an Error or are Blank
Right-click on the .chm help file in Windows File Explorer and select Properties.
At the bottom of the General Properties pane, click Unblock, then click Apply."

Live system works in the root F:\MultiPE1268 like a charm.
No problems with update or anything else.

But when I tried to copy it in a subfolder
like this F:\PortableApps\MultiPE1268 it stops due to length of path name.

With PHoenix there is no issue to put it here F:\PortableApps\PhoenixPE.

Not serious but interesting.

Hello

At 15 characters, we are below the 256-character limit.
You can try removing the limit temporarily to see if it still works.

@Kare,

how to do that?

I guess it should work.

[CD-RW]

@Cookiebaker

In the Build\3-Preconfig.srt line 67 and 68 add // char.

Code: Select all

//String,%len%,Len,%basedir%
//if,%len%,>,15,Then,Run,%scriptfile%,Dirlen
