Robert is correct. Additionally, you need to make sure that the support for
the installer itself is included in your image (such as Windows Installer
Service).

Our customer does this occasionally with no problems, but we have a fairly
full-features XPE configuration. The only problem was that I did not fully
explain EWF to him, so he was really confused when he would install an app,
have it clearly working, but when he rebooted it disappeared :-). He now
knows how to do a "commit" after a successful installation.

David,

thanks for the tip in the previous e-mail and yes I ditto what everyone
says up above. If the right installer and the components are in, we have
managed to add different apps with no problems after deployment. Our biggest
issue has been adding drivers for wireless cards and scanners and other
hardware devices.

In addition to what the others already said: One caveat is the missing
Windows File Protection on XPE. If the application setup has a bug, it
might not show on Professional, but will on XPE. We learned this the hard
way.
