80 Running Deployment Scripts Using DTK and Microsoft Windows PE

utilities. Because each third-party deployment framework is unique, however,

these solutions fall outside the scope of this document. If you plan to utilize

a third-party deployment solution framework, keep in mind that the DTK is

a Windows PE-based set of tools and scripts, so the deployment solution

framework must also support Windows PE as a pre-operating system

environment.

For Windows PE 2.0

If you are using Windows PE 2.0, download

Windows Automated Installation Kit

(Windows AIK) from the Microsoft website at

www.microsoft.com

. By default,

Windows AIK is copied to the

C:\Program Files\Windows AIK

directory.

Integration of DTK Directory Structure in Windows PE Build

DTK provides a script, VPE_driverinst.bat, to pre-install the Dell drivers into

a base Windows PE 2.0 image (winpe.wim) offline. Use the following steps to

execute this script:

Open a command prompt on your system and change the directory to the

location of

VPE_driverinst.bat

. For example:

cd C:\Dell\Drivers\winpe2.x

Execute

VPE_driverinst.bat

with two required arguments

and

. For example:

VPE_driverinst.bat <WINPEPATH> <DTKPATH>

Where

is the destin ation path to cre ate t he directory

structure for Windows PE 2.0 and

is the path to Dell

drivers in the extracted DTK toolkit. For example:

VPE_driverinst.bat C:\vistaPE_x86 C:\DELL\DRIVERS

This will pre-install the Dell drivers into

winpe.wim

NOTE: <WINPEPATH> is passed as the destination to the Windows AIK command

copype.cmd. The destination folder C:\vistaPE_x86 is created as part of the

process, and should not already exist.

Copy the customized winpe.wim image to the folder

VistaPE_x86\ISO\sources

. For example:

Copy c:\vistaPE_x86\winpe.wim

c:\vistaPE_X86\ISO\sources\boot.wim
