WinPE based Network Install

Recommended Posts

I and trying to install W2k8_64 using WinPE. I installed WAIK on a W2k8 SP2 system and built WinPE. After booting WinPE I net use to the W2K8_64 bit install directory and run setup.exe. However setup.exe is throwing an error:


The version of setup.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need a x86 (32bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.

I built the WInPE environment on a W2k8 SP2 64bit machine. Any insight is appreciated on why this isn't working.

You need to create an x64 winpe image to run the x64 setup.exe

So instead of running "copype x86 c:\whateverfolder" you need to run "copype amd64 c:\whateverfolder"
