Here is the FINAL version of the WAIK: (Updated on 2/13/07)

WAIK Final

Now everyone has access to WinPE.

This install includes WinPE v2.0 for both x86 and x64.

EDIT: updated link(s) to include the newest build released by Microsoft.

Thanks man

It ain't exactly easy to find on the MS Web.

[gugutz]

i download the img file.

it has 800 mb file size.

how do i get only WinPE and delete the rest?

where is WinPE in this img file?

i searched but didn´t find any ISO or IMG file for WinPE

[Jazkal]

You need to install the whole thing. It puts the files you are going to need to create your own modified WinPE. There are a couple of other things included, but I would say that 97% of that package is WinPE, and not other fluff you don't need. Once it's installed, if you don't need x64, you could delete those parts, and would save you around 50% or so in space.

Awsome, MS webby went totally nuts when I searched for the WAIK, thanks a bunch man for the link!

Vista, WinPE, WDS, here we go...

[gugutz]

but isnt WinPE supposed to be about 150 mb?

how come this pack has 800 mb?

I want only the 150 mb package to include in my Multiboot DVD.

Is there a way to get it?

[Jazkal]

Well the x86 winpe.wim file is 160 mb. It is in the winpe.cab file in the image.

I would be intrested to know how your going to use the wim file (without all the other tools in the package) in your Multi-Boot DVD.

[gugutz]

yeah, i´m interested in that too, jazkal.

but i i am not going to do is use a 800 mb img to use an enviroment that needs only 150 mb to full run.

anyways, thanks for your replys.

You can boot WinPE 2.0 with ISOLinux just the same as you could with the older WinPE. The folder structure for this is a little different:

BOOT
ISOLINUX
SOURCES
BOOTMGR

BOOT, ISOLINUX, and SOURCES are the folders and BOOTMGR is like the old SETUPLDR.BIN. ETFSBOOT.COM in the BOOT folder is the bootsector. WinPE (BOOT.WIM 156mb) is in the SOURCES folder. Just boot with ISOLinux like normal and it should boot up fine. It did for me at least. If you just use the english fonts you can also save some spaec and delete the asian fonts in BOOT\FONTS. You need to download the 800mb image file to build WinPE (either x86 or x84). You'll end up with a ~156mb WinPE when your done.

Cheers

Updated first post with the new download page for the WAIK.

[kasandoro]

Looks like the second link is dead now...any idea where it might have moved to?

[Jazkal]

I did a search on Microsoft, this is all that I could find:

EDIT: Link removed because Microsoft killed the webpage

This has the extension .img

What did you guys use to burn it?

[Jazkal]

I used D-Tools to mount it, and pulled the files off.

[styxx_78]

Well, needless to say, I did the same thing. While installing WAIK, halfway through, it asked me to insert the CD??!!

This shouldn't need to be installed from a CD.
