Morning all, Update: the commandline %SYSTEMDRIVE%\windows\system32\mshta %SYSTEMDRIVE%\scripts\TASK24.hta Results in a HTA being displayed. So indeed, the problem was that the HTA could not be found. Thanks for all your help. I'm moving forward to read the variables set and execute steps (or not), depending on their value. Dikky Dik

In your case it makes sense and is the logical thing to do. In my case it could be an option, but this is just as easy (all is included in the WIM). Will post updates tomorrow. Thanks so far all

Did not check, but presume it will give X: back. Tomorrow I will try to extend the commandline to: %SYSTEMDRIVE%\windows\system32\mshta %SYSTEMDRIVE%\scripts\TASK24.hta and see what happens. And that toolkit package... Think I have to agree with wmmayms. The tools (mshta.exe) and scripts (task24.hta) are already present (included in the WIM). So that's why I am wondering about the why (you included it in the TS). I also looked more then once in the smsts.log. But learned nothing sofar regarding the problem. Will take several new looks again hoping to get a clue

I copied the HTA to a folder in the root of the WINPE wim file. That is why I called it directly with the command line. I saw the toolkit package step in your tutorial, but have no clue what it does. So could you fill me in, who knows it makes me see why, what etc and make it work...

The commandline I use is: %SYSTEMDRIVE%\windows\system32\mshta \scripts\TASK24.hta The result is that you see nothing. But when pressing F8 and start taskmgr, you see that the mshta process (application) is running...

Here it is: The HTA sets environment variables. Depending on the value, Format and partition disk will get executed (or not) and the English or Dutch Windows will be installed

It is in the PE phase. Questions presented are: Formatting C: drive only or repartition whole disk Language of windows version to be installed In other words: All choices to be made before the Windows phase...

Hi, I created a Boot image with HTA support, and imported it into SCCM without a problem. I am able to boot from it via PXE and so far so good. If I add the taks to display a HTA (where the user is presented a few options like format C: only or repartition the entire disk), the HTA does run but is not visible to the user behind the keyboard. Pressing F8 and starting taksmgr via the command prompt shows me that mshta.exe is running. when starting the command used in the TS in the command prompt, the HTA gets shown as wanted and expected. Any suggestions? Regards, Dikkydik
