EWF, HORM, and Feature Pack 2007

I've been away from XPE development for a few months and am now trying
to create an OS image that utilizes the new HORM/EWF features in Feature
Pack 2007. I have a few questions:

1. There is a new component "Enhanced Write Filter Macro" for which no
help is available. This appears to simply bring in other required
components: EWF, EWF API, EWF NTLDR, EWFMGR (all components are
optinoally included via checkboxes). But it also optionally brings in
two components identified simply as
{E26DDFB1-DD16-4371-A041-42B20E088D82} and
{0D7AE750-8DBB-4DEE-905D-5AC4F115A203}.

Does anyone know what these components are?

2. The help item for Enhanced Write Filter refers you to "EWF Overview
topic in Windows XP Embedded Help" I can find no such topic in the help
file supplied with Feature Pack. Is this supposed to simply refer back
to the pre-Feature Pack topic (which I have found on the Microsoft web
site), or has it been changed for Feature Pack.

3. I am considering using the new File based Enhanced Write Filter. Can
anyone point me to a discussion of how this works (if it works at all)
with HORM?

4. I'm also looking for a general discussion of how EWF and HORM have
been enhanced in Feature Pack. I know I've seen this material, but now
I can't find it.

Thanks in advance,
Michael Bate

1. There is no EWF Macro component in FP2007. Where is this component
located in the Component Brwser? Did you by any chance download a component
from some? The two GUID components indicate that there is something missing
from your database.
2. The only changes for EWF/HORM is the option for HORM in EWF settings and
EWF API additions to enable and disable HORM.
3. FBWF doesn't work with HORM
4. I have some information on FP2007 features:
