New CreateBtImages Options for Windows PE

The following CreateBtImages options are specific to Windows PE:

-t <Path to additional drivers>

Specifies the path to additional drivers (*.inf, *.sys) for a WinPE image. For WinPE20, WinPE30, WinPE40, WinPE20x64, WinPE30x64, and WinPE40x64 you can store the driver files in sub directories below the given driver path. The additional driver files are added to the driver directory of the boot image template in the image prepare system. The drivers are then inserted in any new boot image that is based on the same type and template.

Default: Adds the drivers that already exist in the boot image template

-c <Path to WinPE 2005 or Windows AIK or Windows ADK installation>

For WinPE 2005 the path to the Windows PE directory. The winpe directory must contain a copy of the winpe directory from the CD, “Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment 2005” (Microsoft Part No. T94-00005).

For WinPE 20 and WinPE30, download the Windows AIK (WAIK) 1.1 or Windows AIK (WAIK) 1.1 DVD respectively from the Microsoft download sites and install Windows AIK from the DVD. The install directory, which is normally “c:\program files\Windows AIK,” must be given here.

Default: Path to the installed Windows AIK

For WinPE 40, download the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) from the Microsoft download sites, and install it on your local Image Prepare System (IPS). The value of this parameter is the Windows ADK install path, for example “C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.0”.

-s <Temporary destination directory for the WinPE OSIM image>

Temporary directory for files needed to create the WinPE image on the IPS. The directory must be empty.

Default: Directory in image store.
