Important building steps

1. Download the latest version of VistaPE project and start "winbuilder.exe";
2. Open "Paths" tab in WinBuilder and browse to the folder with Windows Vista or WAIK files (Source directory);
3. Click on the "Play" button to start Building "VistaPE".

System requirements

1. You need a Microsoft Windows Vista DVD or an installed Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) for creating working VistaPE. In case the Vista DVD is used as source we recommend that you copy the content of DVD disk to your hard drive. This will significantyl speed up WinBuilder's built process. If WAIK is used as source for building VistaPE only basic functionality will be available.
2. VistaPE runs with at least 256Mb of RAM (though we recommend 512Mb)
3. About 2Gb of free space on hard disk will be needed during creating process.
4. While building on x64 machine, you have to have WAIK installed.

For details check the Configuration section.

It is recommended to test VistaPE in VirtualBox, VirtualPC or VMWare before you use it.

For the more detailed information about the principles of work, ideology and internal structure check the Internal functions section.
