Wioski 1.1.2 update released
by  ITPRO\$8K1000-JA82V0G5L39LNo presence information  on 22.7.2011 20:18

​I have made an update for Wioski! (finally...)

It now supports both x64 and Windows 7 Service Pack 1!!

I've changed the process so that Group Policy scripts are no longer used and are replaced by a scheduled task as they were creating problems for some people.

Changelog:

  1. Added support for SP1
    1. actually only removed the automatic removal of Media Center from the answer file
    2. Removed the following rows:
          <servicing>
              <package action="configure">
                  <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package" version="6.1.7600.16385"
      processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="" />
                  <selection name="MediaCenter" state="false" />
              </package>
          </servicing>
  2. Added support for x64
    1. This uses different installation media so it is distributed as a separate download than x86
    2. choice.exe does not work with x64 so it is replaced by a choice.vbs from sourceforge
    3. Installation and usage are same as before except the "GUI" for choice.exe replacement
  3. Emptied the DRIVERS-folder as some people didn't like it having the driver examples
  4. Winpe.cmd used for the changing of BCD Store is now in d:\Boot
  5. Background image changes didn't work well with Group Policy scripts so it is now accomplished via a batch file in startup folder of Start Menu

If you have any questions or comments don't be afraid to email me: sami dot laiho at sovelto dot fi

Downloads are available on the left hand side. Process flow is also updated but the documentation still awaits to be updated.

Wioski 1.1.1 Released!
by  ITPRO\$8K1000-JA82V0G5L39LNo presence information  on 19.10.2010 14:31

 

Welcome to the homepage of Wioski!
 
Wioski recommended version as of today is 1.1.1!
 
Wioski is a self-healing kiosk-computer running Windows 7. The whole project is done with standard Microsoft technologies and is distributed totally free although you do need a license for the running OS itself. The downloadable Wioski is simply a wrapper that surrounds your own WIM-file of Windows 7 OS installing it on a VHD-file and using a differencing disk for writing incremental data. If you find the project useful or develop it further we would appreciate if you let the community know also. If you need any further assistance or consultation please contact me at sami(dot)laiho(at)sovelto(dot)fi.
 
ATTENTION!
 
1. Read the manual inside the ZIP-file or download separately from the download section!
2. Read the hardware requirements!

3. Wioski is to be used with Windows 7 and it has been tested with Windows 7 Enterprise/Ultimate 32-bit versions. Booting from a VHD requires Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate!

4. Remember to Activate your Windows when running in maintenance mode!
5. Remember to change your maintanence users password!

 

 
Download

 

The files can be downloaded from the Links-section on the left side. Wioski is distributed as one single file from my companys webserver. The easiest way it to install it is using a USB-stick.

Wioski can also be installed from a DVD. The Links-section now includes a download for this purpose also. You have to download it and insert your WIM as instructions show and then use OSCDIMG.exe to create a bootable ISO. If you have trouble with this one don't hesitate to contact me. Here is an example of oscdimg.exe syntax:
 
"c:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\amd64\oscdimg.exe" -m -n -b"c:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\amd64\boot\etfsboot.com" Wioski_ver1.0_DVD c:\data\wioski.iso
 

Changes in Wioski 1.1.1:

1. Installation is localized for English and Finnish users

2. Users background changes so that the administrator can easily notice if the computer is running in maintenance mode

3. Windows PE uses its scratch space to save files so the installation can be done from a DVD-media

4. Check for Admin rights when running the batch files on the desktop​

 

Wioski Process Flow can also be downloaded as a PDF-file from the Download section.

Download
 
The files can be downloaded from the download section. Wioski is distributed from ITpro.fi as splitted zip-files because of sharepoint limitations. It can also be downloaded as one single file from my companys webserver.

You have to download it and insert your WIM as instructions show and then use OSCDIMG.exe to create a bootable ISO. If you have trouble with this one don't hesitate to contact me.

Wioski 1.0 - Windows 7 -kioskikone
by  ITPRO\$8K1000-JA82V0G5L39LNo presence information  on 24.5.2010 11:36
Tervetuloa Wioskin kotisivulle!
 
Wioski on itsensä nollaava kioskikone, joka pyörittää Windows 7 -käyttöjärjestelmää. Koko toteutus on tehty Microsoftin standardeilla työkaluilla ja Wioski itsessään on ilmainen, vaikka toki tarvitset lisenssin Windowsille, joka siinä pyörii. Ladatta Wioski on vain automatisoitu asennusrutiini, joka asentaa haluamasi Windowsin levykuvan VHD-tiedostoon ja kirjoittaa muutokset differentiaalilevylle, joka sitten voidaan buutin yhteydessä tuhota. Jos Wioskista on sinulle hyötyä tai kehität sitä eteenpäin, arvostaisimme jos kertoisit siitä meille ITpro:n kautta tai suoraan minulle. Kommentit, kysymykset ja konsultointitarpeet voi osoittaa minulle: sami(dot)laiho(at)sovelto(dot)fi
 
HUOMIO!
 
1. Lue ZIP-tiedoston sisällä oleva manuaali!
2. Lue laitevaatimukset, ennen asennusta!
3. Wioskia on testattu 32-bittisellä Windows 7 Enterprise- ja Ultimate-versiolla. VHD-bootin käyttö vaatii Windows 7 Enterprise tai Ultimate -version!
4. Muistathan aktivoida Windowsin, kun olet muutokset tallentavassa tilassa!
 
 
Lataus
 
Tiedostot löytyvät Download-osiosta. Paketti on jaettu pienempiin ZIP-tiedostoihin, johtuen Sharepointin kokorajoituksista, eli lataa kaikki tiedostot, ennen purkua!
Voit ladata Wioskin myös yhtenä isona filenä, Sovelton palvelimelta.
 
Wioskin voi nyt asentaa myös DVD:ltä. Tarvitset Download-osiosta paketin tätä varten, johon lisäät sitten WIM-tiedoston, ohjeiden mukaisesti. Tämän jälkeen OSCDIMG.exe:llä tästä kansiosta sitten tehdään käynnistyvä ISO-tiedosto. Jos teillä on ongelmia tämän kanssa, ottakaa yhteyttä minuun. Alla esimerkki OSCDIMG:n syntaksista:
 
"c:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\amd64\oscdimg.exe" -m -n -b"c:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\amd64\boot\etfsboot.com" Wioski_ver1.0_DVD c:\data\wioski.iso
