INTRODUCTION

Windows Vista includes Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) version 2.0. An Input Method Editor (IME) lets you type double-byte characters in some languages. For example, you can use an IME to type such characters in Japanese. By default, Windows PE version 2.0 does not include support for an IME. This article describes steps to add this support to Windows PE.

To enable IME support in Windows Vista, you must install the OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) or the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) on the same language version of Windows Vista as the IME that you want to use. For example, for Japanese IME support, you must install the OPK or the AIK on a Japanese version of Windows Vista.

To add IME support in Windows Vista, follow these steps:
  1. Paste one of the following scripts to a text file. Then, save the text file by using the name that is provided here.

    Note You cannot run these scripts in Microsoft Windows Server 2003, in Microsoft Windows XP, or in earlier versions of Windows.
    • To add support for a Traditional Chinese IME, paste this script to a new file that is named WinPEIMETC.txt.

  2. Open the file that you created in step 1 in a text editor. For example, open the file in Notepad.
  3. Select the following text, and then type C:\WinPE_x86\Windows to replace it.
    <Path to Windows Directory of your WinPE image (i.e. C:\myWinPE\Windows)>
  4. Save the file, and then exit Notepad.
  5. Rename the file by using the .cmd file name extension. For example, rename WinPEIMETC.txt as WinPEIMETC.cmd.

    Note This step creates a batch file that copies files to the C:\WinPE_x86 folder. The batch file also creates a Startnet.cmd file in the C:\MyWinPE\Windows\System32\IME folder.
  6. Install the OPK or the Windows AIK.
  7. Start the Windows PE Tools command prompt by using an account that has administrative credentials.

    Note Make sure that you start a version of Windows PE that has the appropriate language packs installed. For example, for Japanese IME support, the Japanese language packs must be installed. For more information about how to add and configure language packs for Windows PE, see the Winpe.chm file.
  8. Type the following commands. After each line, press ENTER.

    Note If you are using a localized OPK or a localized AIK, you do not have to follow this step. By default, the localized version uses these settings.
    copype x86 C:\WinPE_x86
    imagex /mountrw C:\WinPE_x86\winpe.wim 1 C:\WinPE_x86\mount
  9. Type one of the following sets of commands, according to the language you want to use. After each line, press ENTER.
    • Simplified Chinese
      peimg /install=*zh-cn* C:\WinPE_x86\mount
      peimg /lang=zh-cn C:\WinPE_x86\mount
    • Traditional Chinese
      peimg /install=*zh-tw* C:\WinPE_x86\mount
      peimg /lang=zh-tw C:\WinPE_x86\mount
    • Japanese
      peimg /install=*ja-jp* C:\WinPE_x86\mount
      peimg /lang=ja-jp C:\WinPE_x86\mount
    • Korean
      peimg /install=*ko-kr* C:\WinPE_x86\mount
      peimg /lang=ko-kr C:\WinPE_x86\mount
  10. Run the batch file that you created in step 5.
  11. Type the following commands at the Windows PE Tools command prompt. After each line, press ENTER.
    imagex /unmount /commit C:\WinPE_x86\mount
    imagex /export C:\WinPE_x86\winpe.wim 1 C:\WinPE_x86\boot.wim
    copy /y C:\WinPE_x86\boot.wim C:\WinPE_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim
    oscdimg -n -bC:\WinPE_x86\etfsboot.com C:\WinPE_x86\ISO C:\WinPE_JPN_IME.iso
  12. Exit the Windows PE Tools command prompt.
