Introduction
Dell Client Configuration Toolkit (CCTK) is a packaged software offering
that provides BIOS configuration capability to Dell business client platforms
(OptiPlex, Latitude, and Precision). You can configure the client systems in
two ways: using Graphical User Interface (GUI) or using Command Line
Interface (CLI). This guide provides the installation instructions for CCTK.

Performing a Custom Installation in the Silent Mode
To specify a custom installation directory, modify the command line as
follows:
msiexec /i cctk.msi INSTALLDIR= <destination> /qn
where <destination> is the custom directory and INSTALLDIR must be in
uppercase.

Important Information
To run CCTK commands, you must install Hardware Application
Programming Interface (HAPI) version 5.9.4 on the system. The common
scenarios are:
• If the system does not have HAPI, when you run a CCTK command, HAPI
is installed automatically. After the option is configured, HAPI is
uninstalled.
• If the system has an older version of HAPI, when you run a CCTK
command, HAPI is automatically upgraded to the latest version. In this
scenario, HAPI is not downgraded to the earlier version.
• If you run CCTK commands frequently, it is recommended that you
install HAPI before you execute CCTK commands. To install HAPI:
a
Navigate to the HAPI directory (
64-bit system).
b
Run

8 Quick Installation Guide
CCTK for Windows PE
For client systems that do not have an operating system installed, you can
create a bootable image that contains CCTK to run the CCTK commands on
Windows Pre-installation Environment (Windows PE). Windows PE
provides a standalone pre-installation environment that is used to prepare a
system for Windows installation. To create a Windows PE image, you can use
Microsoft Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK).
Using Windows PE 2.0, you can integrate CCTK, HAPI, and related drivers
into a Windows Imaging Format (WIM) file and create a bootable ISO
image. Using Windows PE 3.0, you can integrate CCTK, HAPI, and related
drivers directly into a bootable ISO image. For more information, see
Creating a Bootable Image using Windows PE
Creating a Bootable Image using Windows PE
To create a bootable image:
1
Download Microsoft Windows AIK from the Microsoft website and install
it on the client system.
2
Download the DUP from

follow the installation instructions.
3
Integrate the CCTK directory structure to a WIM file (For Windows PE
2.0) or ISO file (for Windows PE 3.0) to create a bootable ISO image. For

and cctk_x86_64_winpe.bat
To integrate
the CCTK directory structure in a WIM file:
1
Navigate to the directory where the script is located.
NOTE: By default, the script for 32-bit system is located in the cctk\X86
directory. The script for 64-bit system is located in the cctk\X86_64 directory.
2
Run the appropriate script with the
.wim
file and CCTK directory
locations entered as two arguments:
cctk_winpe.bat <path_of_wim_file> <path_of_cctk>
• If CCTK is installed on the default directory, run the 32-bit system
script as follows:
cctk_x86_winpe.bat C:\winPE_x86
C:\Progra~1\Dell\CCTK
• If CCTK is installed on the default directory, run the 64-bit system
script as follows:

This command creates a bootable ISO image,
WinPE2.0.iso,
in the WIM
file directory.
Integrating CCTK directory structure to an ISO file using Windows PE 3.0
CCTK provides the cctk_x86_winpe_3.bat and cctk_x86_64_winpe_3.bat
scripts to integrate CCTK, HAPI, and related Dell drivers into the ISO image.
To integrate the CCTK directory structure to an ISO file:
1
Navigate to the directory where the script is located.
NOTE: By default, the script for 32-bit system is located in the cctk\X86
directory. The script for 64-bit system is located in the cctk\X86_64 directory.
2
If you installed AIK in a non-default directory, open the script, set the
AIKTOOLS
path, and save the file.
For ex a m ple:
Set AIKTOOLS=C:\WINAIK\Tools
Quick Installation Guide 11
3
Run the script with the path where you want to create the ISO file and the
CCTK installation directory as two arguments.
NOTE: The directory you specify for the ISO image should not be an existing
directory.
Example for a 32-bit system:
cctk_x86_WinPE_3.bat C:\winPE_x86
C:\Progra~1\Dell\CCTK
Example for a 64-bit system:
cctk_x86_64_WinPE_3.bat C:\winPE_x86
C:\Progra~2\Dell\CCTK
This creates a directory,
created inside the
winPE_x86
WIM
directory under
. The ISO image and the WIM file are
winPE_x86
.
