This topic procedure demonstrates how to use Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) to add packages to a Windows® Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE). image offline.

Windows PE 3.0 provides the following packages that you can add to your base image. You must add them to your image by using the DISM command with the /Add-package option.

Package Name Description

WinPE-FONTSupport-<region>

Additional font support for the following languages: ja-JP, ko-KR, zh-CN, zh-HK, and zh-TW.

WinPE-HTA

HTML Application support. Enables the creation of GUI applications using the Internet Explorer script engine and HTML services.

Winpe-LegacySetup

The Media Setup feature package. All Setup files from the \Sources folder on the Windows media. Add this package when servicing Setup or the \Sources folder on the Windows media. Must be added with the Setup feature package. To add a new Boot.wim to the media, add either child package in addition to the Setup and Media packages. This package is required to support Windows Server® 2008 R2 installation.

WinPE-WDS-Tools

The Windows Deployment Services tools feature package. Includes APIs to enable a multicast scenario with a custom Windows Deployment Services client and Image Capture utility.

Note

  • The base Windows PE image does not contain all the packages listed above. You must use the DISM tool to install the appropriate packages. The packages are located in the directory \Windows OPK\Tools\PETools\_architecture or \Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\_architecture. For your optional components to work correctly, make sure the required language resources are installed on the client computer. The language resources are located in a folder named the same as the language installed in the directory listed above.

  • The winpe-xml package is now included in the base boot.wim.

    • The Windows PE-setup-package is the parent package of winpe-setup-client and winpe-setup-server. You must install winpe-setup before you install the child packages.

    For an example of how to build custom Windows PE images, see Windows PE Walkthroughs.

    To add a package to a Windows PE image offline

    1. Use the DISM tool to mount the base image to a local Windows PE directory. For example:

      Dism /Mount-WIM /WimFile:c:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim /index:1 /MountDir:c:\winpe_x86\mount

    2. Add a Windows feature to the base image by using the DISM command with the /Add-Package option. For example:

      dism /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\<version>\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs\winpe-wmi.cab"

dism /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\<version>\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs\en-us\winpe-wmi_en-us.cab"

      Where <version> can be the OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) or the Automated Installation Kit (AIK).

    Note

    When adding packages, you must include both the language-neutral package and the language-specific package, as illustrated in the previous example. 

    A list of installed packages can be obtained by using the **/GetPackages** option.

    1. Repeat Step 1 for each package you want to install in the base image.

    2. Verify that the packages were installed by using the DISM command with the /GetPackages option to view all packages in the current image. For example,

      dism /image:c:\winpe_x86\mount /Get-Packages

    After the image is prepared, you can burn the image to media.

    Note

    If you choose to remove a package using DISM /Remove-Package, the functionality of the package will be remove from your Windows PE image, but the source file will still persist in the image. The size of your image will remain the same. To remove the file from the image, you must create a new image.
