WES 2011 OS Image Building Blocks

Every image is built on the device using:The Embedded CoreFeature packages (e.g. Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player)Language Packages (e.g. EN-US)Driver Packs (e.g. printers and display)Embedded Enabling Features (e.g. FBWF)OS updatesThird-party software and drivers

The building blocks are used to create an image interactively or non-interactively on the target device

Embedded CoreCollection of Functionality needed for

Booting KernelBoot-critical drivers (except for SCSI adapters)WinLogon, NetLogonFile system (NTFS, UDF)Command shellServicing stackNetworkingRPC

Minimal platform for app and driver testingLanguage Neutral

Feature Sets and PackagesOrder of 60 feature sets

~150 packagesPackage is signed and serviceable by MicrosoftConfigurable settingsBinaries and resources not tweakable

Removed resources may come back through servicing

Feature packages installable post-build

Feature Sets vs. Packages

Feature Sets and Packages

OS functionality area, e.g. Windows Media PlayerInternet ExplorerUSB Boot

Feature set is composed of 1 or more packages

Graphics (GDI)IO support

Shell Basic

Explorer applicationDesktop support

Shell Foundation

Themes, Visuals

Shell Themes

Calculator, paint, gadgets etc.

Shell Accessories

Package is set of related functionality.

Embedded Feature SetsCreate Read-only and/or flash devices

Enhanced Write FilterFile Based Write FilterRegistry Filter

Custom shell supportNo dependency on ExplorerDialog filter and message box auto-replyUnbranded startup screens

Boot from removable mediaUSB boot, VHD boot, SD boot

Drivers and Language PacksDriver packages are created based on driver INF

Printer drivers packaged based on manufacturerAbout 400 driver packages inbox

OS Building Blocks are Language-Neutral

Language packages consist of MUI and fontsTarget is to release ~40 languages and LIPS

Both Installable post-build

Package Dependencies

Dependency TypesDirect dependencies

Breaking a direct dependency chain is not supportedExample: Servicing dependency on Installers, because WUSA.exe has a dependency on MSI functionality

Optional Dependencies Integration Scenarios and Extended FunctionalityExample: Media Player has an optional dependency on IMAPI for enabling the Sync and Rip functionality in WMP

Group Dependency of Exactly OneExample: Choose exactly one of explorer shell, cmd shell or task manager shell as the shell for the image

Group Dependency of One or MoreExample: Embedded Core depends on one or more languages

Group Dependency of NonePackages which cannot co-exist in the same image

OS Updates

OS updates are released by Microsoft.Released to Embedded Communications Extranet and Microsoft OEM Online sites.

Updates are applicable at a package level, update will not install on the system if it is not needed.

Sample updates are provided on the Windows Embedded Standard 2011 CTP.

Located on the IBW Disks for both architectures.

Importing Updates into your ICE DS.Demo

OS Updates

Tools are provided to help determine the proper updates for your image.

Package ScannerEmbedded Tool that scans an image and determines that updates are applicable to the device.

Find Applicable Updates in ICE and IBWIntegrated Tool in ICE and IBW that will determine what updates are required based on the Answer File being created.
