If you already have media with PE1.x distribution, unpack the media ISO to a local folder and start

the Acronis WinPE ISO Builder by selecting it from Start → Acronis → Plus Pack for Acronis True

Image Home 2010. The wizard will guide you through the necessary operations. Please refer to

Adding the Acronis Plug-in to WinPE 1.x (p. 126) for details.

To be able to create or modify PE 2.x and 3.0 images, you must have Windows Automated

Installation Kit (AIK) installed. The further operations are described in the Adding the Acronis Plug-in

to WinPE 2.x or 3.0 (p. 127) section.

If you do not have Windows AIK installed on your PC, prepare as follows:

1. Download and install Windows Automated Installation Kit.
