Imaging - WAIK• Windows Automated Installation Kit• The Windows Automated Installation Kit helps

you to install, customize, and deploy the Microsoft Windows Vista™ family of operating systems.

Imaging - WinPE• Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) is a

lightweight version of Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista that is used for the deployment of workstations and servers.

• It is intended as a 32-bit or 64-bit replacement for MS-DOS during the installation phase of Windows, and can be booted via PXE, CD-ROM, USB flash drive or hard disk.

Imaging - WinPE• Traditionally used by large corporations and

OEMs (to preinstall Windows client operating systems to PCs during manufacturing), it is now widely available free of charge via the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK).

Imaging - WIM• The Windows Imaging Format (WIM) is a file-based disk

image format. It was developed by Microsoft to deploy its latest Windows operating system releases, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, which use it as part of their standard installation procedure.

• It works equally well with legacy versions of Windows however, and is used as part of Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs.

Imaging - WIM• In a nutshell, you can think of a WIM file as a

CAB file. The key difference between a WIM file and a CAB file is that, in addition to capturing and compressing the file itself, a WIM image stores metadata that applies to the files and directories that make up the volume captured in a given volume image.

PACKAGING EVENT 2008 - PARTNER SPONSORING 30

Imaging - WIM• A WIM image can also be mounted as a new

volume under Windows with a drive letter associated in order to facilitate easier extraction or updating of its contents.

• A WIM image can be opened with ImgMgr.exe (Windows System Image Manager)

PACKAGING EVENT 2008 - PARTNER SPONSORING 32

Imaging - ImageX• ImageX is the command line tool used to create, edit

and deploy Windows disk images in the Windows Imaging (WIM) Format. It is distributed as part of the free Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK).

• Starting with Windows Vista, Windows Setup uses the WAIK API to install fresh as well as cloned installation of Windows.
