Backupper and Partition Assistant on same bootable USB?
Well the title says it all...
Is it possible to create a bootable USB with both the AOMEI Backupper and Partion Assistant?
If not I would like to suggest that you add the feature - it would be nice to have both great products on the same USB-stick...

You can use this:
(new version https://www.dropbox.com/s/li54wz1ywli4d13/aomei-pev7.zip )
D/l the zip, rt click it >properties>Unblock>Apply>OK.
Then just rt click it again and select Extract. You will get a folder called aomei-pe. Inside is another folder called BIN and a file which says Run-me-as-admin.
Obviously, rt click it and run as admininstrator.
It will look for Aomei Backupper 2.0 and Partition Assistant 5.5
Hi, unfortunately your PE-Builder does not work for me. I ran it as admin under a german Win 7 64-bit. Does it only work with an english Windows?
Pit
I could fix it by my own. For all those here with a german Windows edit Run-me-as-admin.cmd as follows:
Replace "Architecture" in line 126 with "Architektur" and also replace "ServicePack Build" in line 858 with "Service Pack-Build".
After these two changes creating of wim/iso worked like a charme (tested with Backuper 2.0 Standard and Partition Assistant Pro). But when I boot from CD there's "SIW2 Easy PE x64" Boot Menu with not working buttons for BU and PA and when I boot from wim file (that's what I would need here) PA automatically starts and there's no possibility to start BU. Is it also because of language problems?
Pit
Sounds like Aomei was not added to the mount folder.
Are program files and program files (x86) called something different in German?
I will need to see if there is a way round that.
Thanks.
As far as I know system paths are always language independent.
Pit
I think this may do it. Thanks for testing.

No, I'm sorry...
Regardless of I use "Architecture" or "Architektur" in your new skript there's always a syntax error at the same line. That's the last output:
DISM /get-wiminfo /wimfile:"E:\AOMEI-PE\WinRE.wim" /index:1 1>"WIMINFO.TXT"
for /F "SKIP=7 tokens=6* delims=: " %a in (wiminfo.txt) do (SET WADATA=%a & goto :warchok )
(SET WADATA=(x64)" & goto :warchok )
IF (x64)" EQU (x86) SET WIMARCH=x86 (
Pit
Thanks.
I gather from that you are using a 32 bit wim file.I have fixed the typo on line 129 which was causing that issue.
It is a bit complicated as it will support vista and newer ( might be ok on XP, not tested).
Also should be fine with either bit version winre.wim, boot.wim, winpe.wim
This will leave a small folder called mount-7z . In case you want to check afterwards .

It's a fresh install of Win 7 64-Bit. The syntax error hasn't gone:
DISM /get-wiminfo /wimfile:"D:\AOMEI-PE\WinRE.wim" /index:1 1>"WIMINFO.TXT"
for /F "SKIP=7 tokens=6* delims=: " %a in (wiminfo.txt) do (SET WADATA=%a & goto :warchok )
(SET WADATA=(x64)" & goto :warchok )
IF (x64)" EQU (x86) SET WIMARCH=x86 (

I tried it on DE 7x64. Fixed. Works fine now.

I also have a much bigger project. Same kind of thing, Bin folder and runasadmin.cmd.
That requires 7x64sp1 dvd .Any of the MS client dvd's will do. They contain all the images. Point it at the dvd in the dvd drive, or mounted iso in virtual drive. It creates winpe with explorer, wireless, sound, etc.
Hi SIW2, again I'm sorry...
Creating itself now works (again) and also there's your menu now when booting the wim but the buttons for PA and BU still don't work. The AOMEI folder of the wim only contains adi.ico, the PA folder wnd.ini only. Think that's not okay?
Pit
It works fine on my DE 7x64 installation. What are the exact paths to your aomei products?
Hi SIW2,
sorry, everything is fine! I checked your script and saw that you (of course) only check c: for AOMEI files and because my applications are installed on d: they weren't found. I copied the folders to c: and... voilà!
We should ask AOMEI for a registry key with the install path. :-)
Thanx for your work!
Pit
Thanks for the feedback.
Suggestions always welcome.Good idea. I will look at getting it to check systemdrive first, then if not found, query the registry.
Very few people would have installed to a different drive, but probably worth doing anyway.
This should do the job. It will get paths from the registry if they are not on systemdrive as usual.
Also double checked to make sure iso will be both bios and efi bootable (unless the .wim is 7x86 of course)

Great, it detected my installs on
But there's still one problem: my registered BU is not registered in the wim. Maybe there's a license file outside the program folder? When I create an ISO with BU itself it's registered.
For adding drivers with dism I would recommend to use the /forceunsigned switch. Better an unsigned driver than none.
Pit
That is strange. My registered BU works fine.
What edition of BU do you have ?
It's a Technician Edition. PA Pro works... Maybe Kim can tell us whether there's something special with that.
Pit
Tech edition is working fine here.
Perhaps something didn't copy across from your other volume.
Does it work if you copy the entire folder to your %systemdrive%\program files (x86 ) first?
It doesn't matter where it's installed to, BU remains unregistered in the PE.
Pit
Found it: your script copies the contents of the WinPE64 subfolder but also AmCore.dll from the "AOMEI Backupper Technician Plus Edition 2.0" folder must be included because it's relevant for activation.

You might like to try this. Needs the installation dvd.
