When I try to do a right-click > advanced > Install Automation Partition nothing appears in the main window under the currently running tasks for the machine and in the machine status section I see "Could not create a windows installation package" I have scoured the knowledge base and the forums but can't find an answer - any ideas?

This appears to be an issue where the Default bootworks package has been lost by DS. Does anyone know how to re-install the default bootworks WinPE 2.1 files so DS can create an installer package and deploy it to machines to set up the Automation Partition?



I have tested one of the packages in D:\dssource\BWPkgs\ that was created by the "Install Automation Partition" task when it last ran successfully and the package works and installs an Automation partition correctly, but now the menu option for "Install Automation Partition" just reports the message in my original post and cannot access the bootworks package to create the partition installer.



Any ideas folks?
