I need to deploy an image of Windows 8.1 on devices with only one USB port.
To facilitate the system, I try to connect WinPE by wi-fi, without success.
I get an error 0x000022f when I try to load the driver netvwifibus with drvload.
I have no found other solution; existing plugins for it
any ideas or instructions for this ?
regards,
which base WIM are you using?
The default from the ADK?
I never tried it with PE 5.1, but with PE 10 this is working if you use the WIM-File intended for Recovery.
I´m doing this this way:
Mount the Win8.1 ISO
Extract the Install.wim (located in \sources)
Mount the Install.wim via dism (or try to open it with 7-zip)
Extract the WinRE.Wim (located in \windows\system32\recovery), rename it to winpe.wim
Build your PE as usual.

I'm remote-debugging a Windows kernel-mode driver using WinDbg. The driver has issues in the initialization routine, leading to a bugcheck/crash when installing the device driver. When I detach the debugger, the target PC reboots and runs again into the same bugcheck.
In order to test a new version of the driver, I therefore have to boot into safe mode, uninstall the device using device manager and reboot into normal mode.
Is there any way to simplify this workflow so that the device driver is automatically removed upon rebooting after a bugcheck?
Additional infos:
I'm using dpinst to install the driver on the target PC
use .Kdfiles to pull a replacement driver during boot

Is it possible to deploy Windows 10 IoT (Rasp Pi image) as a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or VMWare Player?
I need for a testing lab a network of three to five Windows 10 IoT devices. A virtual cluster would be perfect. My Google- and Bing-based research failed.
The problem could be either the non-ISO disk image file format or the non-x86 architecture of the operating system, couldn't it?
The easiest way I found is downloading Windows 10 IoT Core for MinnowBoard MAX
(here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691712). This MinnowBoard is x86-based and the image comes in a .iso file. I know the OP was specific about being a Rasp Pi image, but I don't really see the difference if we're just trying to use a hypervisor. Afterwards, you may just follow this tutorial: http://www.newventuresoftware.com/blog/running-windows-10-iot-core-in-a-virtual-machine
It's very simple and straight-forward, and it works with VirtualBox.
Based on #makoshichi's links here's the steps that worked for me:
Download MinnowBoard MAX IoT Core from microsoft, and install
Run ImgMount tool as Admin to mount "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft IoT\FFU\MinnowBoardMax\flash.ffu"
Detach the VHD from Disk Management (in Computer Management), move the resultant .vhd file (that it informs you of on detach) to a location of your choice
Create, but don't launch, a new Virtual Machine in VirtualBox (expert mode) as Windows 32-bit, using an "existing virtual hard disk file" - the one you just moved
Goto device Settings->System and click Enable EFI (special OSes only)
Goto device Settings->Network and select Bridged Adapater
That's it - Run your virtual machine and be a happy Thing of the Internet, or something like that.
This is my short version of this wonderful post by Yavor Ivanov.
The QEMU emulator may do it, it will boot the image file directly. you may need to expand the ffu with dism first.
You don't have to fully install w10 preview: just boot the W10 real or virtual DVD and select to open a cmd box, from there you can run the updated dism command.iot w10 have no (direct) GUI, you must talk to the device via winrm and powershell
There is a good startup for you on

Hi you could use the Raspberry Pi Simulator https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-raspberry-pi-web-simulator-get-started
I first created system images using Windows backup then realized that those VHD files cannot be booted using Virtual PC.
So I found the utility Disk2VHD and spent a few hours making a new VHD and tried booting it with Virtual PC but it too cannot boot.
It is giving the error:
PXE-E53: no boot filename received
I followed some instructions found online on going into the Virtual PC settings and ensuring I have the right vhd set up which I do, I also have integration features unavailable.
I then went into the Virtual PC's BIOS and in The Boot menu and it says under Hard Disk Drives [Virtual HD] and in the boot priorities the 1st boot device is the Hard Drive.
This VHD is created from my C: which is my main Windows install (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit)
The whole goal of this is I want to format my drive and install new Windows but I wanted to be able to make a bootable image I could go into later to recover things as needed and see how stuff was setup if I forgot.
When you converted it over, did you check in the checkbox which allows the file to be used in Virtual PC? I forget what it's called but in there is a checkbox you have to click in before you convert it over.
Also make sure the drive isn't bigger than 127GB or Virtual PC won't recognize it.
I tested successfully with Linux by using Avahi(Bonjour) and Netatalk(AFP) to provide network storage to Mac OS X seamlessly (as like Time Capsule).
I want to make one another question for Windows 7. As I searched Windows 7 uses PnP-X and UPnP to provide Bonjour like zero configuration experience. What I want to achieve is:
Use Samba on Linux to share one folder
Publish this shared folder as NAS service by using PnP-X and UPnP
If a Windows 7 PC attached to the LAN which have the Linux it will discover the NAS service on Linux
Windows 7 automatically initiate PnP install process and new disk volume will be appeared on Explorer without any user intervention. This new volume is actually Samba shared folder from Linux
Do you think this scenario is achievable by using PnP-X and how can I do this?
Best Regards
I checked about it by myself.
PnP-X uses SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol) of UPnP to publish network attached device to Windows clients in local network. By using XML configuration file of SSDP, device can let client knows PnP H/W ID.
From Windows 7, user can see PnP-X enabled device from network explorer. User can select install context menu to initiate device driver installation of PnP-X device.
PnP driver installation depends on H/W ID which is known by SSDP XML configuration file.
To implement this scenario on Linux O.S., I can use GUPnP library to support SSDP notify.
Also, I need to implement proper INF file and device driver.

I have a .inf file that install a .sys file from the windows xp system folder when the user plugs an USB hardware. I would like to trace the files that the windows auto-install on the system, so I can develop an automated installer that doesnt bother the user. Any ideas?
Thanks
FileMon monitors and displays file system activity on a system in real-time. You could use it.
But Windows wouldn't allow to copy files in system32 or drivers directories. You should use Driver Install Frameworks API to install the driver.
