You use these files to customize images and (together with the Makewinpemedia script) to create bootable media. For more information, see Makewinpemedia Command-Line Options.

Copies the boot files and the Windows PE base image (Winpe.wim) to <WorkingDirectory>\Media. Values include amd64, x86, or arm. The x86 version of Windows PE can boot 32-bit UEFI, 32-bit BIOS, or 64-bit BIOS-based PCs. The amd64 version of Windows PE can boot either 64-bit BIOS-based or 64-bit UEFI-based PCs.

For more information about running Windows PE on PCs with different architectures, see Windows Setup Supported Platforms and Cross-Platform Deployments. |

Specifies the name of the working directory where Copype creates the directory structure and copies the Windows PE files. For example: Copype creates the following directory structure. When Copype copies the Windows PE base image to the <WorkingDirectory>\Media\Sources folder, it renames the base image from Winpe.wim to Boot.wim. |
