CCTK for Windows Pre-installation Environment
(Windows PE)
Windows PE provides a standalone pre-installation environment that is used
to prepare a system for Windows installation. For client systems that do not
have an operating system installed, you can create a bootable image that
contains CCTK to run the CCTK commands on Windows PE. To create a
Windows PE image, you can use Microsoft Windows Automated Installation
Kit (Windows AIK).
Using Windows PE 2.0, you can integrate CCTK, HAPI, and related drivers
into a Windows Imaging Format (WIM) file and create a bootable ISO
image. Using Windows PE 3.0 and Windows PE 3.1, you can integrate
CCTK, HAPI, and related drivers directly into a bootable ISO image.
