    No but I can tell you how to make those folders.
    1) get a MDOP 2013r2 in your language
    2) extract the iso and get to the dart8.1 msi file.
    3) install the dart8.1
    4) fire up the dart program and point it at an distribution folder for win81 in whatever language you are using
    5) go through the procedure and create the new boot.wim (don't need the iso)
    6) mount the boot.wim index 2 and go into windows\system32\ folder
    7) copy the dartconfig.dat to a separate folder.
    8) extract the toolsx86.cab and defenderx86.cab (or x64 versions depending on your win81 version)
    9) move the contents of the extracted toolsx86.cab to the same folder you extracted the defenderx86.cab to
    10) copy the dartconfig.dat you got from the boot.wim to the Windows\System32\ folder inside the defenderx86 folder you extracted to
    11) edit the Windows\system32\winpeshl.ini file to reflect the following:
    Code:
    [LaunchApps]
    %windir%\system32\netstart.exe
    %SYSTEMDRIVE%\setup.exe
    You can repeat the process for x64 version as well using the same dartconfig.dat
    It has the same sha1 hash when created for x64 versions as it does for x86 versions

    The problem with using the en-us version is that it has a mui shell file in English.
    I'm not sure if it would work with other languages, but if it did, the DaRT would be in English, which would just be confusing to people who don't read English.

    Edit: you also need to add the fmapi.dll from the WinPE-FMAPI.cab in your ADK's winpe section.
    This will enable the file restoration tool and disk commander.

    Your previous DART files (for win8 and win7) were in english only too? Becouse i've already integrated your DART7 into a win7 bootwim (italian language) and it works good. Of course the dart menu is in english but the integration was fine. I guess this is the same for 8.1... BTW thank you for your explanation! ;)

    Yep, the same method for dart7 and 8.0 would work as well.
    I only recommend changing the winpeshl.ini for dart7 to:
    Code:
    [LaunchApps]
    %windir%\system32\wpeinit.exe
    %windir%\system32\netstart.exe
    %systemdrive%\setup.exe
    Without the wpeinit.exe call, the network won't work in win7/server2008r2 setup and you won't be able to download offline defender updates

    I just wanted to add that DaRT 8.1 seems to be backward compatible with Windows 8.0
    I've loaded a win8.0 install with dart8.1 and it worked fine. All of the programs worked as expected

    I'm currently testing all this stuff for a SuperAIO v3 project I'm working on. If it turns out that it's not backward compatible with 2012 I'll advise.

    First install the msi files corresponding to you architecture and OS supported, then follow the instructions when launching the app. ;)

    Hi
    I have integrated the DART 81 tools from murphy78 download but when trying to use "Disk Commander" and "File Restore" an error is given that a module cannot be found. The other options work fine. Does anyone have these working and know which module I have missed? When using a built Dart 81 iso both tools work fine on the same machine.
    Thank you for your time

    Have you checked for side by side in the software hive, or perhaps there are manifest and cat files in winsxs you need.

    Have a look.

    Hello
    Thank you for the replies, I am pretty sure I had copied all the files from the zip - I also made my own set of files following murphys instructions on page 9 - they matched when compared but obviously still did not work.
    Anyway I clearly should have searched a bit harder for a solution as it seems I am over a year behind a fix which is posted here:
    hxxp://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/35530-ADK-WinPE-4-0/page4?p=697659&viewfull=1#post697659
    Sorry I cant post it as a link
    I followed these instructions and now have DART 8.1 integrated with all the tools working.
    Thanks again
