I'm trying to customize a WinPE image that already contains a lot of tools and customized items that I can't duplicate. Starting from scratch is not an option, it has to do with encryption filters included in our WinPE image that we can't reproduce. At this point i have WAIK, MSDaRT, and MS deployment toolkit installed. Previously we have integrated the Windows RE interface into our WinPE, so i can actually launch the Startup Repair, but to enable that there was a very specific set of files that needed to be copied from system32 to the X:\windows\system32 folder. What I was hoping is that someone else has either accomplished this or is familiar enough with the contents of MSDaRT to tell me which files i need and where I need to place them in my WinPE. Thanks in advance

Hi, Based on my test, you can try the following to archive this: 1. Please install MSDaRT and navigate to its location. Then, please locate a file which named as Tools.cab. 2. Mount your Windows PE image and extract Tools.cab. 3. Copy all the files from Tools.cab to the mounted directory (system32, recovery). Please note: 1) Due to MSDaRT is based on Windows RE, all the files of Windows RE needs to be copied to the mounted directory previous. 2) 32-bit MSDaRT only can be applied to 32-bit systems and 64-bit MSDaRT only can be applied to 64-bit systems. 4. Add command [LaunchApps] %windir%\system32\netstart.exe,-prompt %SYSTEMDRIVE%\sources\recovery\recenv.exe into winpeshl.ini file which in system32 directory. 5. Now, you can unmount you Windows PE image. Hope this helps. Jeremy Wu TechNet Community Support
