Over time, the PE format has grown with the Windows platform. Notable extensions include the .NET PE format for managed code, PE32+ for 64-bit address space support, and a specialized version for Windows CE. To determine whether a PE file is intended for 32-bit or 64-bit architectures, one can examine the Machine field in the IMAGE_FILE_HEADER. [6]

The original DOS executable file format. These formats can be identified by the letters "MZ" at the beginning of the file in ASCII. Later formats may contain an MZ DOS stub header. [2] 16-bit New Executable (NE) Introduced with the multitasking MS-DOS 4.0 and also used by 16-bit OS/2 and Windows, NE can be identified by the "NE" in ASCII.

For Win32 processes, the initial contents of a new process' PEB are mainly taken from global variables maintained within the kernel. However, several fields may instead be taken from information provided within the process' image file, in particular information provided in the IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER32 data structure within the PE file format ...
MUI provides support for localized resources stored in Windows binary (a.k.a. Win32 PE) files (DLL, EXE, SYS) -- usually DLL files. The resources for a language can either be stored in the application binary or in a MUI (a.k.a. LS) file -- one per language.
