Screen capture feature in the WinPE rescue environment.
This would be very helpful when interacting with the Hasleo support team to show the steps taken to reproduce a problem so they could diagnose it better.

You're absolutely right. Without relevant experience, I'm not sure if we can write a simple screen capture program.

Concerned that there may be copyright issues.

Do you have any examples of programs that do work in WinPE ?
I tried Sysinternals ZoomIt, which just flashed up the splash screen and then closed.

IrfanView v4.40+ x64, unzip it in 7-Zip and use it as a portable application. After deleting unnecessary files, it takes up 4 lines in Explorer. It takes all kinds of screenshots.

I just did some research and found that writing a simple screenshot tool isn't difficult.

I couldn't find a copy of Irfanview 4.40 to dowwnload, so I tried the latest 4.72.
It works inside the Hasleo rescue disk. I opened a Cmd prompt in Hasleo tools, navigated to the extracted Irfanview folder and launched the .exe file.
I was able to capture the Hasleo window and save it to a file. It's a bit of a faff, but at least there's a solution should the need arise, until such time as the Hasleo developers can integrate a solution natively.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Wow, thanks for going the extra effort and figuring that out! We're glad you found a way to make it work, even if it's a bit of a troublesome. Really appreciate you sharing your discovery!
