Windows® 7 includes Windows® Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) version 3.0. 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 3.0 does not include support for an IME. This article describes steps to add this support to Windows PE. To enable IME support in Windows 7, you must install the OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) or the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) on the same language version of Windows 7 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 7.

Known limitations

  • In Windows PE, IME functionality does not work in command prompt windows.

  • After all IME windows are closed, you must run Ctfmon.exe.

  • When you use an IME in Windows PE, the Software Keyboard, the IME Configuration User Interface, and Embedded Software Development Process (EUDP) tools are unavailable.

To add IME support

  1. Paste one of the following scripts to a text file. Then, save the text file by using the name that is provided here.

  2. Use one of the following options:

    • To add support for a Traditional Chinese IME, paste this script to a new file that is named WinPEIMETC.txt.

  3. Open the file that you created in step 1 in a text editor. For example, open the file in Notepad.

  4. Select the following text, and then type C:\winpe_x86\Windows to replace it.

    <Path to Windows Directory of your WinPE image (for example, C:\winpe_x86\Windows)>
  5. Save the file, and then exit Notepad.

  6. Rename the file by using the .cmd file name extension. For example, rename WinPEIMETC.txt as WinPEIMETC.cmd

    Important:

    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:\winpe_x86\Windows\System32\IME folder.
  7. Install the OPK or the Windows AIK.

  8. Start the Windows PE Tools command prompt by using an account that has administrative credentials.

    Important:

    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.
  9. 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
  10. Navigate to the following directory:

    cd "C:\Program Files\Windows OPK\Tools\x86\Servicing"
  11. Type one of the following sets of commands, according to the language you want to use. After each line, press ENTER.

    • Simplified Chinese

      DISM.exe /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\Windows OPK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs\winpe-fontsupport-zh-cn.cab"
DISM.exe /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Set-UILang:zh-cn
    • Japanese

      DISM.exe /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\Windows OPK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs\winpe-fontsupport-ja-jp.cab"
DISM.exe /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Set-UILang:ja-jp
    • Traditional Chinese

      DISM.exe /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\Windows OPK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs\winpe-fontsupport-zh-tw.cab"
DISM.exe /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Set-UILang:zh-tw
    • Korean

      DISM.exe /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\Windows OPK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs\winpe-fontsupport-ko-kr.cab"
DISM.exe /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Set-UILang:ko-kr
  12. Run the batch file that you created in step 5.

  13. 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
    Note:

    This directory example (JPN) indicates Japanese. Insert the appropriate name for the language you are using.
  14. Exit the Windows PE Tools command prompt.
