I installed the default automation folder (WinPE4 ~ Windows 8) on my windows 7 clients.
When booting into the automation folder it is stuck at "Windows is loading files..." (which is Windows 7 PE message).
The PXE boot to WinPE4 is working just fine.
This lead me to this article:

"It is hanging just as the progress bar completes loading with the "Windows is loading files..." message still displayed and a full bar. Nothing else happens here.
What I believe is happening is it is booting to the 100 mb system reserved partition, which has the old win 7 boot loader...thus the "Windows is loading files..." instead of the win 8 style "Loading files..." message. If i replace on that small 100 mb partition the bootmgr and /boot/ with what is on the main partition which LTIApply set up, then it loads into the PE on the main drive just fine."
Is the PE4 automation folder working for anyone on Windows 7?
