TBWinPE says Win11 ADK is not installed

[TeraByte Support]

Problem:

If you try to create a WinPE boot disk based on Windows 11 ADK you may get a message that it's not completely installed.

Reason:

The x86 (32-bit) PE files have been removed from the latest version of the ADK. TBWinPE/RE Builder errors due to this because it checks for both the x86 and AMD64 PE files.

Solution:

Until the next update you can work around this by doing one of the following:

Workaround #1:
Uninstall the Windows 11 ADK and install the Windows 10 version 2004 ADK. This download is available lower on the ADK download page. This ADK includes both x86 (32-bit) and AMD64 (64-bit) WinPE files.

Workaround #2:
In the Windows 11 ADK installation, make a copy of the "amd64" folder and rename the copied folder to "x86". This will allow AMD64 (64-bit) TBWinPE builds to be created (x86/32-bit builds are not supported). Assuming the ADK is installed to the default location on 64-bit Windows, the steps would be as follows:

1. Use Windows File Explorer and browse to this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment

2. Copy the amd64 folder (e.g. right-click on the folder and select Copy).

3. Paste the copy of the folder (e.g. right-click in empty/blank area and select Paste). Since this is a system folder you may be prompted to allow the copy operation.

4. Rename the copied folder (e.g. "amd64 - Copy") to "x86".

5. There should now be both the "amd64" and "x86" folders at the path shown in step 1.

6. Run Builder and create your TBWinPE x64 build.
