Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE 3.0 - based on Windows 7)

Windows® Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) is a minimal operating system designed to prepare a computer for Windows installation (and not just for Installation). Windows PE is available as a stand-alone product to customers with the proper licensing agreement. It is an integrated component of many Windows Setup and recovery technologies, including Setup for Windows® 7and Windows Deployment Services (WDS).

Windows PE 3.0 is the latest release based on the Windows 7 operating system.

I've changed few scripts that I've found on MSFN Forum and now I'd like to share a script, that will create a WinPE 3.0 ISO just by one click :)...

I called this script _WinPE-3_Builder.bat. here is a content of _WinPE-3_Builder.bat
