Windows XP build 2496 is an unleaked build of Windows XP. A reference to this build can be found in the German version of the Windows XP Step by Step Interactive (SBSI) Tour. Multiple references to the Professional SKU can be found in \base\ntsetup\opktools\winpeoc\xwinpe\docs\winpe build process.doc in the aforementioned operating system as well as a reference to the IA-64 architecture.
x86 Professional reference[edit | edit source]
1. Obtain a base Windows XP Professional Setup CD image from which the Windows PE will be built. One can use an install CD; I copied the contents of \\winbuilds\release\main\usa\2496\x86fre\pro to a local directory, D:\images\2496-x86fre-pro. I also shared this directory (as \\t-jpol-dev\pro) to t-jpol-dev\Guest, granting RLX privileges as well.
5. Run mkimg.cmd. I ran the command mkimg D:\images\2496-x86fre-pro D:\images\winpe-build-dest. 1040 files were copied.
b. I ran net use P:\\t-jpol-dev\pro to mount the Windows XP Professional installation CD image I’d copied into D:\images\2496-x86fre-pro.
IA-64 Professional reference[edit | edit source]
Then, I ran the command mkimg \\winbuilds\release\main\usa\2496\ia64fre\pro D:\images\winpe-2496-ia64. This single error is reported: “Error in copying (2) : \\winbuilds\release\main\usa\2496\ia64fre\pro\ia64\efinvr.exe -> D:\images\winpe-build-ia64\IA64\system32\efinvr.exe”. There is a bug in the OPK documentation; the file efinvr.exe must also be copied from the tools directory in the 3rd step above when making an image for IA64. Once the IA64 image was ready, I copied the contents of D:\images\winpe-2496-ia64\IA64 into C:\MININT on the IA64 machine.
