What is PEBakery?
PEBakery is a builder specialized in customizing Windows PE.
It is intended to be used with projects such as Win10PESE, Win10XPE, MistyPE and ChrisPE.

Why PEBakery was written?
PEBakery is compatible with WinBuilder 082.
Projects like Win10PESE are dependent on WinBuilder 082, but WB082's development went discontinued.
PEBakery works as a drop-in replacement of WB082, while providing much improved envrionment.

Download
Binary and source of PEBakery can be downloaded from github.
Nightly binary can be downloaded from here, thanks to AppVeyor service.

Source
PEBakery is a open source software, licensed under GPLv3.
Source of PEBakery can be downloaded in GitHub.
Bug report or Pull request is always welcome.

How to Test
.Net Framework 4.7.1 and Windows 7 or upper is required to run PEBakery.
1. Download PE project zip distribution and extract it. (e.g. ChrisPE, Win10XPE)
2. Put 'Binary' and 'PEBakeryLauncher.exe' in project root (the directory where Project directory resides in).
3. Read NOTICE_SHOULD_READ_FIRST.txt and follow instructions.
4. Run 'PEBakeryLauncher.exe' with admin privilege.
5. Configure project and run. Compare with WinBuilder 082 (which is bundled by default).

Documentation
Specification of PEBakery script language is being done in GitHub.

Disclaimer
- All implementation is only backed by documentation and black box testing, without violating WinBuilder 082's EULA.
- I do not provide any warranty, use at your own risk. Backup is highly recommended.
