The following version allows to run HBS directly in WinPE without application installation.
1. Download and install the version below:
https://www.easyuefi.com/backup-software/downloads/Hasleo_Backup_Suite_Free_231127.exe

2. Copy the following folder to WinPE.
C:\Program Files\Hasleo\Hasleo Backup Suite\bin\WINPE\Program Files\Hasleo Backup Suite

3. Run the AppLoader.exe in the Hasleo Backup Suite\bin directory to start HBS in WinPE.

AppLoader.exe can help register and start the service program in WinPE and then start the graphical user interface program of HBS.

Well, results here were a real mixed bag.  Worked fine under the WinPE built by Macrium REFLECT, failed using Strelec's System WinPE environment and also AnkhTech's WinPE environment.  The failures ran without error when running the AppLoader but then nothing presented itself following that.

It must have to do with the different way developers configure their WinPEs...

You have to make sure you are running 32-bit HBS in 32-bit WinPE and 64-bit HBS in 64-bit WinPE.

more to it than that.  The WinPE FileSet came from a x64 installation on my System and both Strelec's and AnkhTech's diagnostic WinPEs are both x64-based.  Don't spend to much more time with this... it would've been nice if it worked.

It's so strange that this shouldn't happen, and honestly we're interested in the issue right now.

This version worked just fine with the (2) diagnostic WinPEs I tried it with... something good happened

previously installed (you know it should ).  When I did that, the WinPE version worked fine as a portable

(11-30-2023, 03:07 AM)Froggie Wrote: Food for thought.  I also tried the above version under live Windows (to see if it would work as a fully portable version)... it did not due to the fact that when I removed the installed version of HBS, the uninstaller did not remove the service entry from the LIVE version previously installed (you know it should ).  When I did that, the WinPE version worked fine as a portable using the AppLoader to run it.

Of course, on a LIVE System, removing a portable version normally requires nothing more than deleting the portable version.  In your case, that pesky service entry (not the service executable itself) is still left behind being poorly orphaned... more food for thought.

01. Install above version for testing.  Ran Incremental image for quick test, all OK
02. Uninstall HBS, OK
03. Checked HBS Service status using Manage/Services and Apps/Services. The service entry was still present with Description=Failed to read Description. Error Code: 2.
04. Tried to run Portable version (AppLoader.exe).  Error Msg Window: Hasleo Backup Suite Loader, failed to run System API (0x0057001500000002).
05. Ran "SC Delete hasleobackupsuiteservice," errored service entry deleted.
06. Run AppLoader.exe once again, all OK.
07. Repeat Step#3, HBS service still available, status=running.
08. Reinstalled HBS via installer, OK.  Tried to run fresh install, get HBS error window = The service program did not start properly, pls contact us for support (0x008B001C00000002)
09. Repeat Step#3, same result.
10. Repeat Step#5, service deleted.
11. Repeat Step#8 (to re-establish service), all OK.

Zip LOG from Step#8 sent to [email protected]

So far, so good... I think
