Optional Packages for Windows PE (Standard 7 SP1)
7/8/2014
The base image for Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) 3.0 does not contain all of the optional packages you might want to install. You must use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to add packages. For information about where to find the source files for optional packages, see Create a Windows PE Build Environment.
Before installing the optional packages that you want, be sure that the language resources required by each optional package are installed on the client computer. Language resources are stored in subdirectories of the directory for each optional package.
