Screen Snapshot to run under Boot WinPE

Alan_b · 11. Aug 2011, 04:27 PM

I had error messages when testing a Boot CD which includes the WinPE rescue environment.

I unzipped onto my Hard Drive various Portable Screen Snapshot utilities and tried again.

Under the Boot CD :-
they all ignored Cntrl/Alt/Print screen;
Double Click in WinPE "Windows Explorer" found something missing and failed to launch;

WinPE "DOS" invoking the executable only worked with WinSnap.exe - the Pro version.
Unfortunately that obliterated the details I wanted with an invitation to pay a licence and have the "invitation" removed from the images.

I do not need all the WinSnap options and facilities,
just something simple that will run under a Boot CD with no expectation of .NET Framework etc. ! !

Regards
Alan

I just did a quickie test with a VirtualBox running the Wondershare Live CD that is discussed elsewhere here, then went to the Screen Grab category here:

grabbed a small one, Snippy, and it seemed to work. You'll have your best bet with something that is self-contained and needs no installing.
