The following process details how to add additional drivers to a Windows 7 system image. This will all you to include or bundle drivers into your installation media, allowing the drivers to be automatically installed during the installation process.
In this example we will be adding the drivers to the ‘install.wim’ file which came from a standard Windows 7 installation DVD.
Copy WinMDI from the CD-ROM. Version 2.5 for Windows 3.1/NT 3.x(16bit - Windows 3.1 online help) Version 2.5 for Windows 95/NT 4.0(16bit - enhanced for Windows 95) Version 2.5 for SoftWindows(16bit - 286 instruction set) Get WinMDI under Software at the Scripps Research Insititute, or by anonymous ftp from the same site.

STEP 1: Copy the install.wim and catalouge file
- Copy the install.wim and associated catalogue file (e.g. install_Windows 7 ENTERPRISE.clg) to a temporary working location.
- For example, C:TEMP
STEP 2: Download and install WAIK
- Download and install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK): http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5753
STEP 3: Extract drivers to their INF files
- Download the drivers from the manufacturer. In this example we’ll be including the Intel graphic drivers for the Dell OptiPlex 990 desktop.
- Using your preferred package extract program, extract the file so you are left with the core drivers (INF files etc).
- Place all the driver files into a temporary folder, e.g. C:Drivers
STEP 4: Create a Windows SIM Answer file
The Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) application is used to create an answer file. The answer file contains the paths to the device drivers that you intend to install.
- Open the Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) application
- Select the ‘File’ then ‘New’ menu
- When prompted, select ‘Yes’
- Open the catalogue file (install_Windows 7 ENTERPRISE.clg
- Under ‘Windows Image’ expand ‘Components’
- Right click on ‘Microsoft-WindowsPnpCustomizationsNonWinPE’ and select ‘Add setting to Pass 2 offlineServicing’
- Under ‘Answer File’ expand ‘Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE’
- Right click on ‘DriverPaths’ and select ‘Insert New PathAndCredentials’
- Under ‘Key’ enter ‘1’
- Under ‘Path’ enter the path to your driver files (e.g. C:Drivers)
- Save the file to your temporary working location (e.g. C:TEMP)
- Close the Windows System Image Manager application.
STEP 5: Enable detailed logging (OPTIONAL)
- To enable logging of specific device driver injections by creating the following registry key on your computer: (This log file will log all actions of the driver injection process)

STEP 6: Mount the image and import the drivers
- Create a folder for mounting the image, e.g. C:TEMPwim_mount
- Open the ‘Deployment Tools Command Prompt’ application ‘as Administrator’
- Mount the Windows image by running the following command: (you may need to modify depending on the folder paths you have used)
- Apply the driver answer file to the mounted Windows 7 image by running for following command: (you may need to modify depending on the folder paths you have used)
- The driver .inf files referenced in the path in the answer file will be added to the Windows 7 image.
- A log file is created at C:TEMPLogfile.txt
- Unmount the .wim file and commit the changes by running the following command: (you may need to modify depending on the folder paths you have used)
The Windows 7 image is ready to be deployed, complete with additional drivers. You will be able to use the file on your Windows 7 USB install media or DVD media etc.

Sep 9, 2014How to Fix General Protection Fault in module WIN87EM.DLL while running Windows 7 in VMWare
Recently ran into an issue with a Windows 7 32-bit VM running in VMware Fusion on Mac OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) when running a Point of Sale application would receive a Application has caused a general protection fault in module WIN87EM.DLL. Starting doing some digging and found this thread discussing the issue at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e0922437-0dc7-4091-a8f7-fadc7fb5bbb5/general-protection-fault-in-module-win87emdll-while-running-windows-xp-mode?forum=w7itprovirt.
Basically the issue is that when you try to run a legacy 16-bit application in Windows XP and above you will receive the GPF (General Protection Fault).
The Windows 80×87 emulator library, WIN87EM.DLL, works at the 16-bit-Windows level to virtualize the coprocessor among multiple Windows-based applications that run inside the system VM.
It appears to me that, with the Virtual Machine using a Virtualized Processor (not related to the above reference to “virtualized coprocessor”) as opposed to an emulated processor, the Virtual Math Coprocessor Device (VMCPD) and/or WIN87EM.DLL generate an error from the virtualized processor.
So how do we fix it. Simple enough you just have to to “hiding” the math coprocessor from the Virtual Machine, so it doesn’t go to the processor. This apparently can be achieved by using a program called WinFloat which includes a tool called HIDE87, which is suppose to hide the math coprocessor from the kernel.
Lucky for us you can download winfloat from http://www.conradshome.com/win31/archive/.
- Click on winfloat.exe to download to a directory. Once downloaded double-click to extract the files.
- Copy HIDE87.com to c:windowssystem32 directory
- Add lh c:windowssystem32HIDE87.com as the first line to the c:windowssystem32autoexec.nt file.
- Reboot virtual machine
The error should now be gone. This will work with virtual machines running on Virtualbox and VMWare.

- hello !
i cannot find the file “HIDE87.com”, after extraction process - Good morning,I don’t understand this line. Can you explain?Add to lh c:windowssystem32autoexec.nt file for the first line:
- Thanks for your steps. My issue was not with a VM whatsoever so these steps can also be used for win87em.dll exceptions running natively in win7 x86.
- Thanks for the help. It worked successfully.

- it doesn’t work
- Really thank you, you saved my day
- That saved my day! Thank you!!!
- Excellent solution!
Thank you so much for help us saving 20000USD ! - Bless you.
- That was a really easy fix. Thank you for sharing!
- I am so grateful for this thread! Thank you!!! I am just curious if anyone else is encountering dramatically slower responses after going through this process. The CAD program 16 bit that we have to run on an XP virtual machine is now lagging big time for each operation. Just wondering if there is a way around that.
- I downloaded the winfloat.exe file from conradshome.com/win31/archive with no problems but their is not a HIDE87.com file.
Their is HIDE87.ASM,HIDE87 MS DOS Appl, HIDE87.OBJ and HIDE87.MAK files. Which one should I use.
Thanks - Thank you. Worked perfectly.
- Friends
WE had the same problem using virtualBox
so, we only uncheck in
Configuration, system, Procesor: PAE/NX
and fix the problem running old applications - Tried this for the game “Welcome to the Future” it loads up, but as soon as you move your head left or right, there is a divide by zero error. This is certainly not meant to be run on modern machines. I wonder if using a real 32 bit windows 10 installation would fix it?
- the software I use requires a math processor. after I apply the changes the software cannot open. if there is another solution>_< thx
- Could any one help me to fix general protection fault in module WIN 1340.EXT at 006C:58E7.
- Thank you, its worked.
- hide87.com will force software emulation of x87 instructions. It’s fine as long as the actual 16-bit program uses little floating point arithmetic. If not, probably a better solution would be masking SSE and FXSAVE from the guest VM.
- Thanks !!!
It works fine on windows XP VMware Virtual Machine - Made short, my story is this: my game worked fine up to Windows XP included. On Windows 7 is my problem: whatever I type on “autoexec.nt”, the system asks me if I wanna save it, click “save”, it tells me “the autoexec.nt already exists, do I want to replace it?” I click “yes” and the answer is always “ACCESS IS DENIED”. Will you please tell me what should I do in this case ? The system doesn’t want to let me try any modifications !!! Thank you for your answer.

It worked for my Win XP VM. Hope this helps.
- Hi Mark,thank you very much for your help!It’s working perfectly.
- Thanks you. I was blocked for 1 month with this problem on my virtualbox in xp sp3. Now i can use pp2000 without problem. Thanks you so much.
I m sorry for my english but i m french guy and i don t wrote for a long Times. - Hey I don’t have a file named autoexec.nt in my System32 Directory. What can i do? And I had also created the file autoexec.nt by myself (in a new notepad i had typed as lh SystemRoot%system32HIDE87.com) but the same error is showing for me. Please suggest some solution for this.
- Thank you very much!
works.- Works here in a virtual machine, runs windows 2000 PRO.
