Maintaining Images

3/21/2011

This section provides information about maintaining an image. Windows Embedded Standard 7 Toolkit provides tools that you can use to add feature packages, language packs, drivers, and software updates to the Windows Embedded Standard 7 installation on your device. You can perform maintenance tasks on an installation regardless of whether it's currently running or not. An installation that is running is called an online image, and an installation that you have captured to a .wim file is called an offline image.
