# PE Builder changes (from v3.1.9 until v3.1.10a)

v3.1.10a

Bugfix release
  PE Builder would report, File 
  "C:\pebuilder3110\BartPE\i386\system32\NTOSKRNL.EXE" not found, on some older 
  windows versions.

Changes to pebuilder.exe:
- After building, PE Builder checks if files required for booting BartPE are 
  missing. The messages printed about missing files should have been warning 
  messages, but they where error messages. Changed them to warning.
- The pre-flight check also did not work OK for server 2003 (with no SP) and 
  Windows XP with SP1, this has been fixed.

v3.1.10

Boot BartPE on a system with 64MB
  Did you ever try to boot BartPE on a system with only 64MB of memory? I used 
  to keep a separate CD (nickname "SmallPE") for this. This CD did not have a 
  ramdrive and some other plugins, so that it would boot on those old 64MB 
  systems. Not anymore! Thanks to an updated nu2menu and a little ramdisk 
  parameter tuning, you can use the same BartPE CD also for 64MB system. Of 
  course this does not include huge and hungry plugins like xpe and so...

Supported languages
  PE Builder currently supports the following languages:
  english*, dutch*, czech*, german*, japanese*, russian*, slovak*, arabic, 
  brazilian, chinese_chs, chinese_traditional_bg5, french, greek, italian, 
  macedonian, polish, portuguese, romanian, spanish and turkish.
  (*) Help pages are also available.

Pre-Flight check
  This is a first attempt to check if all files required to boot BartPE exist in 
  the output location. At current a warning message is printed if a file is 
  missing.

See below for more details...

Changes to pebuilder.exe:
- Added an error and warning counter on build dialog.
- Added a value of 8 to SourceDisksFiles attribute. This will rename the 
  filename to uppercase.
- Uppercasing windows files is only done, when an ISO image is build.
- Added an option where you can disable uppercasing the windows files.
- The output directory was created in uppercase, while this is not needed. Fixed 
  it.
- Added a routine that, after building, checks if files required for booting 
  BartPE are missing from the output directory. Prints warning messages if files 
  are missing.
- Added a parser variable @Lcid@, which expands to the system default language 
  identifier (for example "409").
- Added an option to erase the ISO image and the output folder after succesfull 
  CD burn.
- When burning using starburn, only devices capable of writing to CD or DVD are 
  shown in the device listbox. Also when no device is selected PE Builder will 
  select the best device for you.

Changed items:
+ pebuilder.inf: Removed olethk32.dll from KnownDLLs. W2k3 SP1 will crash if the 
  NTVDM.EXE is stored in i386\system32 with the above RegKey. This happens for 
  example with the dospe plugin. In W2k3 the olethk32.dll doesn't exist in the 
  KnownDll List.
+ pebuilder.inf: bootfont.bin is now also copied. Mainly used in non-english 
  languages. It uses the new sourcedisksfiles attribute value of 8 to uppercase 
  the file in ISO images.
+ nu2shell.exe: v1.3, the environment variables USERPROFILE and ALLUSERSPROFILE 
  where not set correctly (in fact they where erased). Fixed.
+ plugin\stinger: updated to work with new stinger filenames like "stng259.exe".
+ plugin\irfanview: added "files" folder.
+ plugin\ramdisk: updated ramdisk.inf. Now the ramdisk switches to 4MB in size 
  when the system is low on memory. Normally systems with 90MB or less will end up 
  with a 4MB ramdisk. This enables you to run your normal BartPE CD on system with 
  only 64MB of memory.
+ plugin\nu2menu: updated nu2menu.exe to v0.3.52. Nu2menu was running out of 
  memory a bit fast on systems with very little memory (<64MB). Fixed memory 
  allocation bug.
