Screenshots
This is the easiest Windows PE builder on earth (not kidding)

Quick start:
  • Download WinBuilder from this page
  • Extract the zipped file to a folder, choose a short path like c:\winbuilder
  • Run Winbuilder.exe
  • Type "AUTO" on the main window to create a Win7PE boot disk
The instructions on the screen tell where you find the Win7PE ISO image.


Would you like to see new features added? Click on the "Support topic" button on the right side of this web page.

Description

In this page you find the easiest and most advanced Windows PE builder ever created. It is easy and advanced, but it also has an "ugly" look (we will explain why).

---------------------

Supported Operating Systems

The new WinBuilder has been written to be independent from whichever operating system you are using, it is meant to work from Windows, Linux and MacOSX.

For Windows users, we make available "WinBuilder.exe". You just need to double-click for launch and then type "AUTO" to build a boot disk.

For Linux / MacOSX users, you should:
  • Open a console window
  • Change to the directory where you have "WinBuilder.exe"
  • Set once the execute bit to winbuilder.jar and launchEx.jar
  • Type: java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar winbuilder.jar
  • Type "AUTO" to launch the boot disk build
We haven't tested all possible platforms. If something doesn't work then please get back in contact with us to provide details about the machine where it is not working, so that we can fix it.

Our software is based in the Java platform. We do this in a very secure manner, for Windows users we include our own version of Java that does not require Java to be installed on your machine.

---------------------

Why is the new WinBuilder so ugly?

On this version we did not added a pretty GUI with buttons and nice graphs. This was intentional and recognize that that the "new look" is not pretty. Maybe can explain a bit better why we did it this way.
  • Easier for those who have no sight. We noted that the previous winbuilder was quite difficult for visually impaired users
  • Consistency. We support Windows, MacOSX, Linux and a web interface. If we only had a GUI like before we'd be spending our time trying to make a user interface that would look good on all these platforms
  • Expansion. With our new plugin system it is easy to write new commands by yourself or by other developers. Using only a traditional GUI would be difficult (and messy) to make this kind of thing possible
Reality is that you are using WinBuilder to get a boot disk done, not because it looks pretty. We deliver a solid builder, you just need to type one single command and things get done without drama.

Other builders out there that look prettier will:
  • require one hour (at minimum) to build a boot disk
  • ask full administrative permissions over your machine
  • only run on windows
  • force you to use a compatible source
  • fail four or five times until you get something

We don't have any of these troubles. You unpack, run and get a working boot disk. Simple.

To be honorable: If your OS does not contain a Win7 sorce CD yet, there is also some time used on the first start, to download the
2.? GB CD ISO (about 20 minutes with DSL 1600) and to extract the ISO. But that is only on the very first use.

  • Have fun! :)

What's New in Version 2016.03.28 (See full changelog)

  • Removed incompatibility glitches when building on Linux. Install on Mint17 is running now w/o issues
