OK! You are making the right question!!! Why use WPI in preinstalation environment??? This same question i have made about 3 years before....well my question was: Why i cant select in an GUI in the first 5 minutes of contact with a n new PC all the components i want have installed onto the computer..???? WPI for me is more than Windows (why not Linux) Post (why not Pre...) Instalation (why not other thinks like Virus Scan or Bios Update or Imaging with Imagex?? ) If i create some new scripts (like now unattend Application installs) i can make WPI most powerfull than ever!!! Running from WInpe2 its possible to make in the first minute rescue and antivirus operations on existent Installation of a PC defining of wich operating system and applications will be installed (unattended WIndows script /unattended apllication scripts applied with imagex) and and and... ok all what in the year 2004 only was in my mind in this moment exists: File-based Imaging Solution!! and a powerfull GUI so that everbody can use it once configured... the end-user has only to know where to put the aplication and OS "source files"!!! Ok ...the only problem is: How to make it work from a Network Ressource after booting also the Winpe2 from Network.... i hope the developers will take my comments as an suggestion for improvements Oh, and i have made some improvements regarding slimming down Winpe2.. at this moment im using an only 80MB "small" WinPE2 winpe.wim wich is working fine (if wpi is installed in this file)...
