Extracting DTK Components On Systems Running Windows

DTK components are provided in a self-extracting zip file at support.dell.com. The self-extracting file can be opened on any system running Microsoft Windows operating system. By default, DTKX.XWINPE- XX.exe files are extracted to the root directory of your local hard drive, C:\. You can change this location by giving a different path when extracting the files, but it is recommended that you keep the DTK default directory structure if you plan to use the sample deployment scripts provided with DTK.

  1. Download the DTK file DTKX.X-WINPE-XX.exe from support.dell.com and save it on your system.
  2. After the file downloads, double-click the file. The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit for WindowsPE screen containing the product and download information appears.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Click Unzip. By default, files are unzipped to C:\. You can unzip the DTK components to your local hard drive and then copy them later to a network volume, or you can change the installation path to an available network share. For example, you can unzip the files directly to the network share (for example, Z:\) that you plan to use in the deployment process.
    • NOTE: Do not copy the DTK components to a Novell NetWare network volume. The DTK network-based deployment is not supported from mapped Novell NetWare systems. The DTK utilities do not run in Windows PE when Novell’s Client32 is loaded.
    The files are unzipped in the directory structure as shown in the following figure.
