Install Windows Embedded Standard 7 Toolkit on a Development Computer
3/21/2011
You install Windows Embedded Standard 7 Toolkit on a development computer so that you can use tools to deploy and service an image, and also to develop and build an image. For information about deploying and servicing images, see Deploying Images and Maintaining Images. For information about developing images, see Building Images.
Note
The Windows Embedded Standard 7 Toolkit is a 32-bit application that you can install on both x86-based and x64-based computers. On an x86-based computer, the default file location for Standard 7 Toolkit is C:\ProgramFiles\Windows Embedded Standard 7. On an x64-based computer, the default file location for Standard 7 Toolkit is C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Windows Embedded Standard 7.
Note
The Standard 7 setup process performs several verifications that rely on the date and time settings of the target device. For optimal performance, confirm that the target device is set to the correct date and time.
The first time you run Image Configuration Editor, it prompts you to provide your Image Configuration Editor product key. If you do not provide a valid product key, Image Configuration Editor begins a 180-day toolkit trial period and prompts you for a valid product key each time you start Image Configuration Editor. At the end of the toolkit trial period, you must enter a valid product key to continue to use Image Configuration Editor.
