NOTE:

For additional information about this procedure, see the Windows

Preinstallation Environment User Guide

sections "Include a Custom Script in a

Windows PE Image" and "Walkthrough: Create a Custom Windows PE Image". This
information is part of the help system of the WAIK software.

1 Download and install the latest version of Microsoft WAIK software onto

the workstation computer.

NOTE: The download file is very large (about 1GB)

.

2 Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Windows OPK or Windows

AIK, and then click Windows PE Tools Command Prompt.

NOTE:

Opening the command prompt window automatically sets environment

variables to point to all the necessary tools. By default, all tools are installed at
C:\Program Files\<version>\Tools, where <version> can be Windows OPK or
Windows AIK.

3 At the command prompt, run the command:

copype.cmd x86 <dest>

where <dest> is a local directory for this procedure, such as
c:\winpe_x86

. This script creates the <dest> directory and copies in

all necessary files for the x86 architecture to the directory. In this example,
the following directories are created:

\winpe_x86

\winpe_x86\ISO

\winpe_x86\mount

4 At the command prompt, mount the base Windows PE image

(Winpe.wim) to the \mount directory by using ImageX:

imagex /mountrw c:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim 1

c:\winpe_x86\mount

5 Copy the following files from the update DVD to the

\winpe_x86\mount\windows\system32\ directory:

winpeshl.ini

DellImageDeploy.exe

Comctl32.dll

Oledlg.dll

Wimgapi.dll
