Custom WinPE-based Media Builder

A script that allows creating a custom 32-bit or 64-bit WinPE-based Acronis bootable rescue media. With the tool you can create a bootable media which can be used on a 32-bit UEFI computer (usually a tablet) or in case an OEM manufacturer has set the SATA mode to RAID in the BIOS and it cannot be changed. The tool also supports automatic driver injection into both the 32-bit and 64-bit media during media creation process.

Prerequisites:

Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10, both 32-bit and 64-bit
Installed Acronis True Image 2019, 2018, 2017 or 2016
Optional: Installed Windows ADK (5.x, 6.x or 10.x) for additional components such as MSiScsi and Bitlocker support. Windows ADK is not required for building media from WinRE.

To use the tool:

Download and unpack it. This version adds several enhancements to the resulting media such as Web browser, file explorer, a custom shell, PDF reader and more.
Turn Acronis Active Protection off (navigate to Settings, then to Acronis Active Protection, and clear the Protect all Acronis True Image files from ransomware check box). After creating the media, you can turn it back on.
Run the .exe file as administrator: right-click the file and select Run as administrator.
In the opened dialog window, follow the on-screen instructions, typing the numbers of the options you want to select:
Select 32-bit or 64-bit media creation
Wim file is mounted and ISO image is created
You can choose to burn bootable media to a CD/DVD or create a bootable USB flash drive
After the media is created, the script takes 1-3 minutes to clean up temporary changes. When you see a message "Press any button to close this window", you can close the window manually; otherwise, it closes automatically in 20 seconds:

How to put six Acronis products in a single WinPE

Applies to:

Acronis True Image 2018/2019
Acronis Universal Restore
Acronis Backup 12.5
Acronis Snap Deploy 5
Acronis Disk Director 12
Acronis Revive 2019

In order to be able to add all six products to a single WinPE with version 18.2 of the MVP Tool , please perform the actions in the correct order:

First, install Acronis Backup 12.5. Make sure the Media Builder component is installed.
Install Acronis Snap Deploy 5 second. Do not install the OS Deploy component. It won’t install when Acronis Backup 12.5 is installed.
Install Acronis Revive 2019 third. (Acronis Revive 2019 could be installed at any time.)
Simulate the True Image 2019 WinPE components on the computer. You will need another computer where Acronis True Image 2019 is installed.
- Create a folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\TrueImageHome\WinPE on the computer being used to create the media. Put winpe_resources.dll in that folder. Get winpe_resources.dll from the same folder on another computer with Acronis True Image 2018 installed.
- Export two registry keys from the computer with Acronis True Image 2018 installed. First, export HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Settings. Name the file TI_location.reg. Second, export HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Acronis\TrueImage. Name the file TI_license.reg. Import both registry files to the registry on the computer being used to build the media.
Simulate the True Image 2019 Universal Restore WinPE components on the computer. You will need another computer where Acronis True Image 2019 Universal Restore is installed.
- Create a folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\UniversalRestore\WinPE. Put WinPE32.zip and WinPE64.zip in that folder. Get the files from the same folder on another computer with the Acronis True Image 2019 Universal Restore component installed.
- Export the following registry key from the computer with the Universal Restore component installed: HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Acronis\UniversalRestore\Settings. Name the file UR_location.reg. Import the registry file to the registry on the computer being used to build the media. Universal Restore does not require a license key.
Simulate the Disk Director 12 WinPE files on the computer. You will need another computer where Acronis Disk Director 12 is installed
- Create a folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Acronis\DiskDirector\WinPE. Put WinPE32.zip and WinPE64.zip in that folder. Get the files from the same folder on a computer with Acronis Disk Director 12 installed.
- Export the following registry key from a computer with Acronis Disk Director 12 installed: HKLM\Software\Acronis\DiskDirector. Name the file DD_license_location.reg. Import the registry file to the registry on the computer being used to build the media.

Steps 4-6 above assume all three programs were installed to the default location. If they were not, adjust the folder locations to match where the programs were originally installed,otherwise the registry keys won’t match the file location.

Proceed with building the media using the general instructions above.
