Have you ever dreamed of installing a fresh copy of Windows on a client’s system that already includes the product key, timezone, regional settings, updated drivers, applications, and even your own branding? No need to enter anything during the installing, just set it and forget it. When you come back, the system is ready to go.
Installing or re-installing Windows, while not terribly difficult, can be time consuming. The Windows 7 installer has sped up the process a bit, but during any installation of Windows there are points when the install stops and ask the user/technician for input. This can be to set the timezone, keyboard settings, and language, to setting up the initial users. However, these screens pop up somewhere in the middle of the install and if you aren’t there to input the data, the install cannot continue. This means that the technician must either wait at the PC until the entire process is finished, or keep checking periodically to see if the install is asking for input. Either way is not very efficient for the technician since an install of Windows can take normally take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.
This is where the Window OEM Pre-Installation Kit (OPK) comes in handy. Currently the Windows 7 OPK is available to help OEM’s quickly deploy Windows 7 installations. The kit allows a technician to customize and automate the installation process, basically creating an image with an answer file that allows an unattended installation.
You can use pre-installation kits for the following applications:
- Windows 7 with Service Pack 1
- Windows Vista with Service Pack 1
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1
- Windows Server 2008
- Small Business Server (SBS) 2011
- Windows Server
- Microsoft Office
- Internet Explorer
- Microsoft Security Essentials
- Windows Live Essentials
The OPK is mainly designed for large deployment environments or system builders that need to install Windows quickly on many new machines. However, having this kit available is a major time saver for any tech that needs to install Windows frequently. Even a simple pre-loaded Windows image that you can install unattended will save you time in not having to wait for prompts and installing updates after the install.
The Contents of the Windows 7 OPK:
| Tool | Description |
| Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) | Used to open Windows images, create answer files, and manage distribution shares and configuration sets. |
| ImageX | Used to capture, create, modify, and apply Windows images. |
| Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) | Used to apply updates, drivers, and language packs to a Windows image. It is available in all installations of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. |
| Windows Pre-installation Environment (Windows PE) | Minimal operating-system environment used to deploy Windows. The OPK includes several tools you can use to build and configure Windows PE. |
| Windows Setup | Used to install Windows. It is included in the Windows product DVD and is not part of the OPK installation. |
| System Preparation
(Sysprep) |
Used to prepare a Windows installation for imaging or delivery to a customer. Sysprep.exe is available in all Windows installations in the %WINDIR%\system32\sysprep directory. |
OPK Benefits
- Saves time and money because by automating installation and recovery.
- Lets you add your company branding to the operating system.
- Allows you to test pre-installed PCs without interrupting the pre-installation process.

For information, technical documents, instructional videos, and downloads check out the Microsoft OEM Pre-installation Kits Info Page.
The Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK)
The Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) is very similar to the OPK. The OPK is generally intended for system builders where the AIK is intended for corporate volume installs. The terms and licenses are also slightly different for each one, so be sure to read through and choose the kit that is more beneficial for your use.

I am trying to install Windows 7 OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) on a system with Windows 7 Professional. During the installation process, I get a message that pops up that says to «Please insert the disk: Windows OEM Preinstallation Kit CD». I am lost at this point. What other CD should there be? I have run the StartCD.exe file from a memory stick and from a DVD. I have run the wOPKX86.msi file as well. I get the same message either way that I try to install the software. I cannot find any documentation from Microsoft that provides step by step instructions. It seems that it should just simply install. Any ideas????
Thanks

During the installation process, I get a message that pops up that says to «Please insert the disk: Windows OEM Preinstallation Kit CD».
You downloaded the OPK image, burnt it to a DVD, started the installation and soon got that message, correct? If you have several dvd drives in your system, you may want to insert the disk into a different one. Maybe also, verify that you downloaded the right image.
Or try this way: insert the opk disk, wait, right-click on it in the explorer, from the context menu choose install/autorun (whatever appears). A chance you are running the installation from the wrong executable.

Cybercore, thanks, but I’ve already went through all that stuff and found nothing. It basically tell you to install the program and after you install the program what to do next. I’m looking for actual step by step installation instructions that would address what if’s as the process of installing moves along.

The only physical deliverables from the Embedded Channel are the runtime license envelopes. There is no installation media enclosed. This is no problem for the real Embedded products, as they have their own development toolkits like XP-Embedded with the Target Designer and Windows CE with the Platform Builder.
For any other product, the OEM customer needs an installation media to create a golden master image for deployment. The OPK provides such an installation media with all necessary tools to easy install and deploy the operating system.
The OEM preinstallation Kits are language and version dependant, so if you order an OPK for free from Avnet Silica please send all language and version details. Besides the localized versions, the MUI packages for all Embedded Products and several Servers are available.
The Product Key enclosed in the OPK can be used to generate a master image, but not to activate a operating system. Normally, the PID key is deleted with the sysprep tool included in the OPK toolset.
OPK Tools like Windows PE (Preinstallation environment) can be used to generate bootable recovery medias like CDs or DVDs.
Visit the product section of each Windows Embedded product to find the product specific OPK or write a E-mail to: microsoft(at)avnet(dot)eu.
