How to Install Python in WinPE
The Windows Preinstallation Environment, or WinPE, serves as the operating system for many PCs before Windows is installed by you or the manufacturer. The environment that requests user information when you install a copy of Windows is WinPE. You can use a disc with WinPE to boot into damaged computers and access the hard disk. You can also use WinPE to write programs and access network resources through a Windows system that is not tied to certain Windows code libraries.

Download the Python .msi Windows installation file from Python.org. You can download either the stable 2.7 release or the stable 3.2 release in the .msi form.

Double-click on the .msi file and follow the instructions of the installation wizard to install Python. Since WinPE often runs on thin clients (or smaller computers sharing resources with a larger server, such as hard drive space), you may wish to install the Python interpreter on a network hard drive. In any case, install the program where required.

Ensure that all required files are in place. When installing to a network shared hard drive, make sure that the pythonxx.dll (where "xx" is the version number, such as python27.dll) and msvcr71.dll files are in the folder Python was installed in. If not, copy them from the C:\Windows\System32 folder in WinPE to the installation folder. The Python interpreter is now available through the Start menu.
