Important

If you use Windows Defender, it may incorrectly flag this version as malware. SmartScreen may also do this. Don't worry; this is safe to download and use.

This AV solution flags this program because it lacks code-signing certificates, which are quite expensive (as of January 2025, 660 and 864 dollars for 3 years of SV and EV certificates, respectively, from Comodo).

If you use other antivirus solutions, you will not see this problem. Learn more here

Bugfixes

Fixed issues with recursive driver addition on Windows 8 hosts not working correctly
Fixed an issue where the PE Helper would not go back to the disk selection screen when pressing B
Fixed an issue where the image capture script would take longer to start the image capture process after having used the Sysprep Preparation Tool
To get %TEMP% more accurately, the PE Helper and its components now use .NET APIs as opposed to relying on $env:TEMP
