x64 MDT deploying x86 Images - Which WAIK?

Brian Hoyt

I have a Windows Server 2008 x64 that I want to use as my deployment server.
I have installed MDT x64 but I am trying to figure out if I should install
WAIK 1.1 x86 or x64. I am going to be deploying x86 Vista SP1 builds. I
looked at

and it seems to imply I need to install WAIK x86 but I wanted to make sure.
Thanks.

The 64bit edition of the WIAK will do everything you want.

We have 64bit servers here, and we're running the 64 bit edition of MDT and
WAIK 1.1 and we're deploying x86 machines quite happily.

Cheers

Well i think of it in terms of how Windows x64 functions vs. x86. You can run
x86 stuff successfully on x64, but x64 stuff won't run on x86.
