PECMD and Pagefile.sys in PE

maanu

@ Pseudo

i am sorry to report , but the following did not work .

@ echo off
PECMD.EXE FILE C:\PAGEFILE.SYS
PECMD.EXE PAGE C:\PAGEFILE.SYS 64 128

please note ,that i had PECMD.EXE in same directory as the bat file .  the bat file appears and then exit right at the spot.

is there anything wrong ?

i also tried to put pecmd.exe in systemroot \system32  folder . but nothing happen .

thank you for your time.

@ coolg

这位来自中国友邦——巴基斯坦的maanu的认真治学态度令人敬佩，建议以后老九发布新版本的PECMD的英文化工作由P大、V大等英文水平较佳者协助完成(含资源和帮助)
@maanu
PECMD.EXE only runs on PE。

@ netwinxp

thank for the nice words dear moderator .

and yes i am running it in PE .  the pe made by winbuilder . ram based Load . xp sp2 based.

netwinxp

@maanu
1. open the file---regsetup.hiv(using the registrytools)
2. search the key&string---"cmdline"="cmd.exe"(maybe use other software--the shell of desktop)
    ***type:reg_expand_sz***
3. modify the string to---"PECMD.EXE MAIN  %SystemRoot%\System32\PECMD.INI"
    or "cmd.exe /k autorun.cmd"(use autorun.cmd to delete the file---PAGEFILE.SYS)
4. save the file---regsetup.hiv

***好久没搞英语了，翻译得不对的地方请见谅***
***这位巴基斯坦朋友的意思是——使用winbuilder创建PE用PECMD的一些问题。但该软件默认运行的命令行是cmd.exe(或者其他shell软件)，所以自然不会跑到PECMD.EXE上，要改成"PECMD.EXE MAIN  %SystemRoot%\System32\PECMD.INI"才行，本人的英语大多还给老师了，上面的中国式英语基本点明了要点，当然如果改成像"cmd.exe /k autorun.cmd"然后再用autorun.cmd也可以实现删除页面文件，但关机会比较成问题，请有英语水平较佳的帮忙修改一下*^_^*

@ post # 35

thank you Mr.Moderator for taking interest .

but when i load setreg.hiv into regedit , with " cmdline " it is showing me " Peloader.exe" not " cmd.exe " .

should i change it ?

or may be i am looking in wrong side ?  

actually i wanted to use PECMD.exe to automate the PAGEFILE issue in pe mode . otherwise we already have a tool made by Paraguilder for pe which sets pagefile.sys . he is author of runscanner too . name of file is setpagefile.exe .

and by the way , Believe me your english is very good .

netwinxp

the shell is "peloader"?change it.you can modify the pecmd.ini to delete the file--C:\PAGEFILE.SYS(FILE C:\PAGEFILE.SYS)，the shell will change to explorer.exe.
or "cmd.exe /k autorun.cmd" ***autorun.cmd is your batch file to auto runing.but it would be reboot when finished the batch.

WOW .

it seems i have found the issue .

in script file put the following ,  ( we use scripts in winbuilder to add apps , drivers etc )

a user at boot-Land forums , JFX made a script to enable themes . he used the chinese guys methods and port to winbuilder . he uses the following lines ,

[PECMD]
// Use PECMD rather than PELoader
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,WB-Setup\Setup,CmdLine,"PECMD.EXE MAIN %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\PECMD.INI"
If,%LogonType%,Equal,True,RegWrite,HKLM,0x4,"WB-Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon",LogonType,1
FileCopy,%ScriptDir%\PECMD\PECMD.exe,%target_sys%,NOWARN
FileCopy,%ScriptDir%\PECMD\PECMD.ini,%target_sys%,NOWARN
//


now the following is in his PECMD.INI ,

FIND Explorer.EXE,!TEAM SHEL %WinDir%\EXPLORER.EXE|LOGO|TEXT

now should i add the following before the above line or after ?

PECMD FILE C:\PAGEFILE.SYS
PECMD PAGE C:\PAGEFILE.SYS 64 128

netwinxp

en...very good:)

you try..

netwinxp

I dont think peloader better than pecmd.pecmd lifting a 24-hour-reboot limit with winlogon and the shell is explorer.

i have just booted in pe from usb . used your method ,

maanu.bat file ,

start /wait PECMD.EXE LOAD maanu.ini

maanu.ini
FILE C:\PAGEFILE.SYS
PAGE C:\PAGEFILE.SYS 64 128

first command successful . means PAGEFILE.SYS which was already at
C:\ driver removed .

BUT not new pagefile,sys was created .  i wonder what could go wrong .

netwinxp

FILE C:\PAGEFILE.SYS
WAIT 500
PAGE C:\PAGEFILE.SYS 64 128
WAIT 3000

i think it's not necessary to wait,and find is not necessary,too.

如果用来启动到桌面那不需要延时，如果仅仅用来删除和创建PAGEFILE.SYS然后就重新启动，那肯定要加延时，毕竟创建或者拷贝文件需要时间的，以前在研究在SHELL加载之前加载驱动这个问题的时候就已经发现拷贝文件需要延时一段时间。
