Version 4 has broader support for OS and image formats to convert, than version 3. So we now do coldcloning in hotclone-mode. This operation we now do is in fact coldcloning, since probably nothing is run from or is open from the 'to-be-cloned' local drive. If you want all files, then remove the '/EXCLUDE:c401_setup.txt' from the batch.Ĭloning local drives will require VSS, and VSS is often associated with the term hotcloning. This is a slightly stripped down version. Get the installer from a running PE, locate the prepared directory and execute the loader, Converter401_LODR.exe, once. This directory can be renamed to whatever later on if wanted.
Copy 'Converter401_LODR.exe' into the directory 'Converter_401'. Preferrably use the batch, VMware-converter-4.0.1-161434_extracter.cmd, to unpack the installer. A working VSS is required and can be achieved by using this package the command 'vssadmin list writers' fails or returns nothing, then Converter 4 will definately NOT work when converting local drives.
This is the main reason why it was not as easily put to PE as version 3.0.x was.
Another LODR package similar to my other ones.Ĭonverter 4 was rewritten quite a lot and now fully depends on VSS for the snapshot.
