The
EpeWinUpgradeTool utility is a Windows Command-Line tool used to inject DE files, drivers, and registry entries into a WIM file. This process creates a customized
WinPE image that contains
DETech recovery software. Using this utility requires the user to have a strong knowledge of Microsoft Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit Version 4.0 or later. For more information, see
this Microsoft article.
This article, which is linked from the
DETech 7.1 Guide (PD24871), explains how to use the attached tool to simplify the creation of
WinPE 3.x recovery media by automating the process.
The attached tools (
DETech64bit.zip and
DETech32bit.zip) enable file injection and the addition of registry items to the
WinPE image.
The attached tools can be used for two purposes:

IMPORTANT: These tools require command-line switches to launch them. The switches you use depends on the purpose you intend to use the tool for. If you attempt to run the executable without any switches, it causes the application to display the following message followed by a list of the available switches:
