Create Recovery Media missing WinRE component?

[millardjk]

Have a Win7 Ultimate SP1 desktop and I'm getting the prompt to provide install media to get WinRE. I've provided the ISO, mounted the ISO (using Virtual CloneDrive) and pointed at it, and after failing to get it working, I've downloaded the AIK. I'm pretty much at a loss as to what the Recovery Media builder is looking to find so I can proceed with getting this correct. Anyone?

Problem solved: it requires the slipstreamed Win7SP1 media (any version), not GA. Still no clue how AIK would've helped...

Hi Jim,

Glad you nailed it! According to specs AIK has PE environment included which can be used instead of RE components for Recovery Media creation.
