Prepare Build System (XP or Vista) 

copy bootsect.exe from vista install DVD to your build system

Install "Windows Embedded Standard 2009 - DVD" 

Install SQL express from DVD

Download and install the following (just so your build system is complete):

Windows Installer Service 4.5 for Windows Embedded Standard 2009

Silverlight 2 for Windows Embedded Standard 2009

From http://seanliming.com/WES2009_XPe.html download "Full XP Pro Like Solution" and any others you might want

Extract the SLD file

Run Component Database Manager

Import "Full Xp Pro WES2009.SLD"

From WES2009 install folder "Program Files\Windows Embedded\Utilities" copy tap.exe and ta.exe to a USB disk

Analyze Target

On target system run tap.exe or ta.exe generating a device.pqm file

tap.exe creates the best results but requires XP, 2000, or 2003 to be running on target system

tap.exe should run from Windows PE boot disk(from Windows AIK) (verify?)

ta.exe can run from DOS but might create incomplete analysis

On build system launch Component Designer

Import device.pqm and save the generated <target_system>.sld

Open Component Database Manager and import <target_system>.sld into database

Build Image

Start Target Designer

Create new target

expand "full xp pro wes2009"

dbl click "full xp pro wes2009"
