Portable PE Builder

Portable PE Builder is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you create a bootable Windows CD or DVD from Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.

Supported Windows versions

The program works with the following Windows platforms: Windows XP Home Edition (streamed with Service Pack 1 or higher), Windows XP Professional (streamed with Service Pack 1 or higher), and Windows Server 2003 (Web, Standard and Enterprise Edition). You can install the utility on Windows 2000/XP/2003/BartPE systems.

Portable running mode

This is the portable version of the utility that brings several benefits to your system. You can bypass the installation process and run the tool by simply opening the executable file.
In addition, you may copy it on any USB flash drives or other portable devices and uninstall it by deleting the files that you have grabbed from the Internet. It doesn’t store entries in your Windows registry and leave other configuration files in your system.

User-friendly looks

Portable PE Builder adopts a clean and easy-to-decode interface that embeds most of the configuration settings right in the main window. There’s also support for a help manual that gives information about the application’s capabilities.

Creating a bootable Windows CD/DVD

You are given the freedom to specify the source folder (the path that stores the Windows installation files), include custom files and folders in the process, as well as provide the output destination. When it comes to selecting the media output, you are allowed to create an ISO image or burn a CD/DVD.

Configuration settings

Portable PE Builder offers you the option to enter the volume label which is added during the ISO build, verify data written to CD/DVD after burning, automatically look for Windows installation files on your disk, disable the building of registry and files, use an absolute path, as well as activate the verbose mode in order to troubleshoot the building process.
Last but not least, the utility lets you slipstream your Windows installation files with the latest service from Microsoft, manage plugins (configure, refresh, edit, add or remove them), add storage and network drivers to the program, as well as control the app via command-line arguments.

An efficient application

In conclusion, Portable PE Builder delivers a straightforward and reliable way for helping you generate a bootable Windows CD or DVD or create an ISO image.
