Error encountered during WinPE installation: missing root, CIMV2, DMAP configuration.
Hey, I see you're having trouble finding the HardwareHash in the MDM_DevDetail_Ext01 class within the WinPE environment. It seems like even with all the necessary cab files installed, it's not showing up. You've already tried some workarounds by adding related files and recompiling the library, which is good. The issue with accessing the wmiobejct file suggests a permissions problem—your system is refusing to read or write protected memory. Let me know if you need help troubleshooting access rights or alternative approaches.
It’s an idea, though maybe not the best one. I had to research what winPE actually is—it looks like a separate operating system used for debugging Windows installs. I usually run LinuxliveCD on a USB drive for that purpose, possibly with a touch of WinRE if necessary. By the time I need such tools, Microsoft has already turned into a common annoyance in my mind. I don’t know your goal exactly, but if it’s just about fixing boot issues or something similar, it might be simpler to skip it and use alternatives that interact directly with hardware without relying on Windows.
Disable Windows Security—it's likely blocking access to the system folder. Just make sure to reactivate it afterward.
This process isn't limited to repairs; it also applies to window setups. Actually, every installation starts with booting into winpe and running setup.exe. My aim is to identify the machine's identity using its hardware fingerprint to retrieve the correct configuration from the server.
The system doesn't have a file explorer in WinPE, especially not Windows Security XD...
The issue is there isn’t a browser installed or any method to add one. Both Pe and Re are limited to the command line. For Windows, I open another completely different OS that ignores hidden or read-only files (I usually use Linux liveCDs) and handle things that way. It’s a bit of a messy workaround. You could easily go wrong if you’re not careful.
