ERD Commander in MSDaRT 6.0, Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset External links Options

[risolutore]

(MSDaRT) 6.0 helps diagnose and repair a system that has trouble starting or has other issues.

When you start a system using a previously prepared startup disk, a NetStart dialog prompts you to initialize the network in the background. Subsequently, a System Recovery Options dialog box prompts you to first select a keyboard layout, and then to select the operating system to repair or diagnose. After these steps are completed, Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset becomes available on the System Recovery Options menu. Clicking MSDaRT opens a detailed MSDaRT Tools menu which presents various recovery tools.
a very nice set of tools to add to vistaPe, considering also to use the x:\sources\recovery\tools\msdarttools.exe as a shell to start from PeShell

we could point directly to ERC commander box..but we have to point first at the vista/server08 win installation.

[Nuno Brito]

Cool stuff without doubt, a script is a must..

No need to include MS files, just automate the download from the MS site and unpack files from the MSI to add inside the boot disks.

Just ask if you need help and we can help clear any doubts.

btw: We also have space for other developers to post their work, why don't you request one too?

the original winpeshl.ini looks like this:

[LaunchApps]
%windir%\system32\netstart.exe,-prompt
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\sources\recovery\recenv.exe

the association are set in fe.cfg file in system32 dir but are limited to notepad and explorer
the debug tools directory is inside system32

I found links to evaluation version of 5.0 for 2k and XP

Also version 6.0 for Vista:

Both seem to be evaluation versions. Probably good for only 30 days.

I wonder if Winternals versions are fair game since Microsoft ate them up?

If you just unpack the files from the evaluation version - thus not seeing/agreeing to the EULA - is it still considered "unlicensed"?

Just random thoughts

Hmmm, I think that Microsoft ate them to avoid them becoming fair game.

It might have been a good defense line in trial , too bad you didn't keep your large mouth shut and published your doubt, something that completely voids your bona-fide presumption.
