Automatic steps for creating the Blancco PreInstall (MSI)
Copy the custom Drive Eraser ISO into the PreInstall package subfolder “msi_build”.
Name the ISO file “BlanccoErasureClient.iso”.
Alternatively a link to the ISO can be provided, to download the ISO from somewhere, instead of manually copying it into the "msi_build" folder of the PreInstall package. See the parameter “--ISOLink” in the parameter table.
Run the executable “PreInstallPackageGenerator.exe” included in the PreInstall package to generate an MSI package.

Manual (Deprecated - Not supported with 3.0 or newer)
Manual steps for creating the Blancco PreInstall (MSI)
Copy the (pre-configured) Blancco ISO image file to \Preinstall...\msi_build directory and rename the ISO image file as a “BlanccoErasureClient.iso”
Copy "BlanccoPreInstall.exe" located in \Preinstall...\win32 to \Preinstall...\msi_build directory.
Launch WiX Edit software and select: File -> Open -> \msi_build -directory
For normal manual MSI installer in English, select “BlanccoPreinstall2_en.XML"
The normal version prompts the user to accept the EULA and manually reboot the PC.
For fully automatic MSI installer, select "BlanccoPreinstall2_en_auto.XML"
The automatic version will force the installation and reboot automatically.
Optionally, edit the command line parameters at Actions -> LaunchPreInstall -> ExeCommand field.
