possibly a stupid question but could someone help me out with the Additional Files script in win builder.  I get the copy "All" "x86" and "x64". When you create the example directories it has a Boot, Program Files, Programs, Users folder along with the Windows directory. My confusion is where I put the files i want to copy. for instance i want to add Norton Power Eraser to the build. I click on Open Source Directory and see the folders. I have 64 bit exicutable so i open DirCopy_x64. Do I need to create a Program Files folder to get it in the program files folder in my build? some clarification on what Directory structure is needed would be helpful.

Yes, you can use Additional Files to add files to system32, but also Program Files or any other folders as shown with the Directory example.

For info, Program Files, Program Files (x86), ProgramData, sources, Users and Windows folders will be included in boot.wim.
Other folders will not be packaged in boot.wim image and will be on the CD/USB.

would that be the same as what is shown here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749312%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

the files copy but they are not found in the start menu. i can only find them by searching the drive manualy. I want to copy them so they show up in the start menu and are located in the Program Files folder.
