My 1st post here: hello everyone!
I'm running XMBC in both installed and portable versions and under Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit it does work great!
Now I'm just trying to make it work under WinPE 5.1 (Windows 8.1 Update 1) 6.3.9600 x64 environment.
At first shot it complains about missing "oledlg.dll", then I add that dll in program folder... and it no longer complains, but it does not run (I checked with Task Manager and it doesn't start at all).
Is there a way in order to make it working under WinPE?
Any kind addressing will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and regards

Re: X-Mouse Button Control & WinPE
Ive never tried it under WinPE but I suspect you are missing some of the C++ runtime and/or MFC runtime required by the GUI in a WinPE environment (The hook DLL is very light using pure Win32 (C++ runtime) but the GUI (EXE) uses additional MFC runtime.
You can try installing them: vc_redist.x64.exe or vc_redist.x86.exe from here https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/hel ... -downloads (or extracting all the DLLs etc. from them and put them along side XMBC maybe if you cant install them on WinPE).

Re: X-Mouse Button Control & WinPE
Thank you for your quick and appreciated reply!
I'll try your suggestion and then I'll come back to report on this.
However I think it's not simple at all to install Visual C++ runtime libraries without a specific PE builder (and in this case I do not want to use one).
Anyway, do they come to your mind other dependencies from "crucial" DLLs existing in Windows system (just like in the previous case of "oledlg.dll")?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Nothing specific comes to mind - I would have to try setting up a PE build here... You could use Depends http://www.dependencywalker.com/ to look see what is missing maybe and copy the files from a full windows install and see if that works..... I don't think its going to be that simple though!

Re: X-Mouse Button Control & WinPE
phil, be aware that creating a customized PE environment can "easily" become an obsession... 
Anyway, just as already said, to install Visual C++ runtime libraries under WinPE (x64) without a PE builder is not an option IMNSHO since it probably requires some pre-requisites, and at this time I do not want to use a builder: in the past I have been "obsessioned" by that, but now I just want customize "by hand" a small image for partition backup and recovery with some "accessories".
However as everyone knows, the appetite comes with eating!
If you want any addressing for a PE builder, please simply ask.
Thanks & Regards
