There is another ISO file that contains the toolkit and ICE, but that will not be used for this demo. When you download the source content for Windows Embedded Standard 7 you will have two Image Build Wizard files, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit. The only thing you need is a lab environment. Since Sysprep is built-into Windows 7 and ImageX comes with the Embedded media, you have all the software you need to create your image once you download the Embedded source files. The funny thing about the Image Build Wizard is that it doesn’t really build an image as the name sorta implies… You have to use other tools like Sysprep and ImageX to complete the task. For simplicity this guide will use IBW to create a basic Windows Embedded Standard 7 image. There are two tools used to create your image: The Image Build Wizard (IBW) and Image Configuration Editor (ICE). Please consult TechNet for the latest information on recommended practices for Windows Embedded Standard 7, I don’t offer any guarantee for the accuracy or reliability of this content, use at your own risk 🙂īuilding a Windows Embedded Standard (WES) 7 SP1 image is different from installing Windows Enterprise, you don’t insert a disk and run ‘setup’, and you can’t create a build & capture task sequence based on an existing. The intent is to familiarize you with the tools and processes required so that you can move on to more advanced scenarios. This guide walks you through the process of creating and capturing a basic Windows 7 Embedded Standard 7 image.
