It's not really different to add it in PE3.0.
Let's use a MakePE3 build
- make sure you have all following files (+ .mui) in your WinPE system32 folder
- Code: Select all
es.dll
eventcls.dll
swprv.dll
vssadmin.exe
vss_ps.dll
vssapi.dll
vsstrace.dll
VSSVC.exe
xolehlp.dll
If you use an x64 PE add the respected x86 version in the syswow64 folder.
Now to simplify all, let's alter all UNICODE occurs of MININT and SystemSetupInProgress (to MININX and SystemSetupInProgrest) inside next 3 files:
- Code: Select all
vssadmin.exe
vssapi.dll
VSSVC.exe
The good thing, we have in MakePE3 already the whole classes key of a full Windows7, so only left is the EventSystem service

load Winpe system and software hive, and apply this reg file
that's all

BTW: Some programs may not start the services automatically, so in case you get an error start them manually
- Code: Select all
net start eventsystem
net start swprv
net start vss
Also keep in mind VSS needs at least 1 NTFS partiton, the one from boot.sdi does not count.
