Bart - and BartsPE is not the same as Windows PE. The Bart is a modified
version of a real Windows XP or Server 2003 product - so it may have
additional functionality not provided in the real Windows PE product.
You cannot add 16-bit support to Windows PE. (using components and trying
to retrofit this may not be within your licensing or supported
configurations and use of Windows PE).
