VistaPE
|
|
VistaPE is a project (set of scripts) for WinBuilder to create a Live CD based on the kernel of Windows Vista. It uses technology from and largely resembles Windows Preinstallation Environment 2.0 (from Microsoft), but has a graphical shell, expanded set of supported devices and functions, and can run almost any Windows program. Features * Possibility to either fully or partially load VistaPE at startup into memory (boot.wim) * Support for a large number of SATA/RAID/SCSI/NIC drivers (thanks to the DriverPacks project). * Able to read and write NTFS/FAT32/FAT/Ext2/Ext3 partitions * Full networking support * Automatic hardware detection (PnP) * Booting from CD/HDD/UFD/Network * Compatibility with Microsoft Windows Vista * A wide range of programs and shells (Explorer, LiteStep, BS Explorer ...) * Automatic creation shortcuts for programs * No limits regarding the maximum number of open processes * Ability to remove VistaPE boot media while VistaPE is running (using boot.wim) * Full multilanguage support Portable applications It is complicated to install applications on the RAM of a Live CD, and all the changes made to those programs and the installation itself will be lost once the computer is rebooted, so a good alternative is to use portable applications, that can be run from either the Live CD, or from a USB flash drive connected to the computer; there is even software dedicated to create those portable applications (VMware ThinApp, Virtual Application Studio or others).
