Intel's IPMI tool fails in WinPE 10 64-bit

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 – 2018-08-09T21:18:21.143

If I am not mistaken WinPE is 32-bit, is the tool in question, 32-bit or 64-bit? – Ramhound – 2018-08-09T21:23:14.390

Pretty sure WinPE can be 64-bit as well... – wysiwyg – 2018-08-09T21:25:54.830

WinPE might only be 64-bit. – LawrenceC – 2018-08-13T18:52:01.687

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 – 2018-08-14T01:19:17.327

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 – 2018-08-14T19:00:48.797
