Windows PE does not support 16-bit applications, so make sure the
applciation is 32-bit (Microsoft did not include the subsystem for
Wow32 by default)

Many program need to store temporary data. In that case you should add
a ramdrive to your Windows PE Image.

It may also be a Windows PE Compilation issue (bldhives and oemmint)
You need to have Windows PE version 1.1 or later to compile Windows PE
CDs from Windows XP SP1 media and Windows PE version 1.2 if compiling
CDs from Windows Server 2003 media.

You really should be using Windows PE version 1.2 (check date for
OEMMINT.EXE and BLDHIVES.EXE, it should be 2003-03-25)
