We are wanting to take several of our computers and convert them over to a “thin client” using PC extender. Our problem is that we would rather not install Windows XP on the computer and instead boot PC Extender from a USB drive or PXE boot without involving XP. We can’t install XP then create a VM of Windows 7 because our OS license does not allow that unless we pay Microsoft more $$. Does anyone know how to setup PC Extender to boot from a USB drive or PXE boot? If not, I found VDI Blaster that can be used to boot from a USB drive. Anyone know if this would work with VMWare? Thank you in advance for your help!
The current version of PCE does not offer the option to be installed on a blank PC or via USB stick.
The next version should do that but there is no release date available at the moment.CG
Is there any news on this. I see this post was created in 2010? We are looking to demo this product but are looking for just a boot from USB solution. Does anyone know if this can be done with the current version?
Thanks!
Unfotunately step # 2.3 does not work. I run that command it looks to go through but no file is put on my USB drive.
Any ideas?
The ldlinux files is a hidden system file. Have you enabled Windows to show these kind of files?
Download the guide again. I have uploaded an updated version.CG
So in step 2.7 it indicates to copy the SYSLINUX.CFG file “that was included with these notes”. Can you be more specific, as the only thing with this file is a PDF? Am I missing something here? Thanks!
Also – I have the main PCX .EXE file, what command do I use to extract those two files referenced in the PDF file?
Here is the syslinux.cfg file

and the other two file packages

Thanks! I am done with all of those file. I appreciate it!
Did you extract those ZIP files from the main installer for PCX? I have the latest version, but would like to know where specifically I can obtain those files from. Do I need to install it, then find the ZIP files that way?
Thank you!

Is it possible for you to put up the 2 zip files again? I am really looking for an option to do a usb installation of PC Extender and this is a perfect solution for us. Thanks so much in advance!
I created the PC Extender installer on a USB drive and tried it on a laptop. It seemed to work but it wiped win 7 OS from my HD. Is there a way to have pc-extender just boot from the pen drive and not recreate /wipe out the OS on any machine?
Thanks
