The IPMI app I have, Intel's IPMI, V2.0, Command Test Tool from https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/servers/ipmi/ipmi-technical-resources.html is rejected by WinPE 10 which states "This version is not compatible with the version you're running." How would I resolve that? I have to execute it from within WinPE 10.

Win10PE is 64-bit and used to install 64-bit Windows. The app relies on Tcl/Tk scripts.

I am also open to alternative open source apps which will run in WinPE 10.

  • Write your own version of the tool? If it's not compatible, there's not much you can do about it...WinPE is not meant to be a full OS replacement, hence the name Preinstallation Environment – wysiwyg Aug 09 '18 at 21:18
  • If I am not mistaken WinPE is 32-bit, is the tool in question, 32-bit or 64-bit? – Ramhound Aug 09 '18 at 21:23
  • Pretty sure WinPE can be 64-bit as well... – wysiwyg Aug 09 '18 at 21:25
  • WinPE might only be 64-bit. – LawrenceC Aug 13 '18 at 18:52
  • Presumption of it being 64-bit isn’t enough. WinPE doesn’t have Windows on Windows 64 which would be required to run 32-bit software on a 64-bit OS. So is both the tool and WinPE or not? – Ramhound Aug 14 '18 at 01:19

Since the scripted install of 64-bit OS is in use, Win10 PE is presumed to be 64-bit. The app relies on Tcl/Tk scripts.

So "program" is simply several batch files. The DLL files are 32-bit, so you need to use a 32-bit instance of WinPE otherwise, the application won't work. Make sure you define the required system variables.

How would I resolve that?

You need to use a 32-bit version of WinPE in order to run the batch files. There might be other requirements that I am not able to determine, from the just the compress archive you linked to, but all indications are that the files will only work on a 32-bit version of Windows (WinPE included).

  • It might be extremely difficult to make that tool run on WinPE but I don't see any indication that it's not possible. – Ramhound Aug 14 '18 at 19:00
