Integrating Dell Command | Configure directory structure into an ISO file

using Microsoft Windows PE 3.0

Dell Command | Configure provides the cctk_x86_winpe_3.bat and cctk_x86_64_winpe_3.bat scripts

needed to integrate

Dell Command | Configure HAPI, and related Dell drivers to the ISO image. To

integrate the Dell Command | Configure directory structure into an ISO file:

1. Browse to the directory where the script is located.

NOTE: By default, the script for 32-bit systems is located in the Command Configure\x86

directory. The script for 64-bit systems is located in the Command Configure\x86_64 directory.

2. If you have installed AIK in a nondefault directory, open the script, set the AIKTOOLS path, and save

the file.

For example, Set AIKTOOLS=C:\WINAIK\Tools.

3. Run the script with the path where you want to create the ISO file and the Dell Command |

Configure installation directory as two arguments.

NOTE: Make sure that the directory specified for the ISO image is not an existing directory.

• For a 32-bit system, run cctk_x86_winpe_3.bat C:\winPE_x86 C:\Progra~1\Dell

\Comman~1

• For a 64-bit system, run cctk_x86_64_winpe_3.bat C:\winPE_x86_64 C:

\Progra~2\Dell\Comman~1

NOTE: Make sure that the path used in the command is that of the Command Configure folder.

The ISO image and the WIM file are created in the following folder

• For a 32-bit system; C:\winPE_x86\WIM

• For a 64-bit system; C:\winPE_x86_64\WIM
