### PreDriverCopyScript

### Importing the PreDriverCopyScript

If you don't have a PreDriverCopyScript, you can import the *PreDriverCopyScript.zip* file using the CapaInstaller Console.

If you already have a PreDriverCopyScript, ***without modifications***, you can delete the existing PreDriverCopyScript and import the new.

If you already have a PreDriverCopyScript, ***with modifications***, you must unzip the *PreDriverCopyScript.zip* file and copy the relevant functions from the extracted *PreDriverCopyScript.wsf* file to the existing PreDriverCopyScript file.

💡 We recommend using the CapaInstaller Console as entry point when editing OSD scripts.

### Installing PowerShell in Windows PE

The PreDriverCopyScript requires PowerShell and the *WinPE-PowerShell* component must be included when building the boot.wim file.

💡 In CapaInstaller 6.5 and newer, the *WinPE-PowerShell* component is automatically included when building the boot.wim file.

### Prompts

A warning prompt will be presented during image deployment, if PowerShell is not installed in Windows PE.
