Hallo,
I installed Microsoft ADK.
I opened the Microsoft Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment command window as Administrator and typed:
copype x86 C:\winpe_x86
Then i started the WinPE ISO Creator, selected C:\winpe_x86\media and clicked next.
i did get a iso file, copied the contents to a usb stick and but i can't boot from it.

i also tried to boot from the iso file in virtualbox, but it doesn't work too.
i only get the windows boot manager and a error code.

thanks

Did you make the usb stick bootable first. You cannot just copy an iso.

To make usb bootable:

1. Insert a USB flash drive into a running computer.

2. Open a Command Prompt window as an administrator.

3. Type diskpart.

4. In the new command line window that opens, to determine the USB flash drive number or drive letter, at the command prompt, type list disk, and then click ENTER. The list disk command displays all the disks on the computer. Note the drive number or drive letter of the USB flash drive.

5. At the command prompt, type select disk n, where n is the drive number of the USB flash drive, and then click ENTER.
(n = no of usb disk, 0 is normally main hdd, and 1 is usb assuming only two drive)

6. Type clean, and then click ENTER. This command deletes all data from the USB flash drive.

7. To create a new primary partition on the USB flash drive, type create partition primary, and then click ENTER.

8. To select the partition that you just created, type select partition , and then click ENTER.

9. To format the partition, type format fs=fat32 quick, and then click ENTER.

10. Type active, and then click ENTER.

11. Type assign, and then click enter

12. Type exit, and then click ENTER.

13. Copy contents of Iso to the root of the USB flash drive. This is often where people make a mistake (I know you did not reading your text). You need to load iso as a "drive" and copy contents of iso, not just the .iso file. Windows 8 loads iso files without need for 3rd party software.

summary

diskpart
list disk
select disk n (n = no of usb disk, 0 is normally main hdd, and 1 is usb assuming only two drive)
clean
create partition primary
select partition
format fs=fat32 quick (quick is optional but as the word says it is quick)
active
assign
exit

Now copy contents of iso to root disk

Now as you are using ADK, I assume you are on a Windows 8 PC. Most Windows 8 PC's use EUFI boot and when you creat a boot usb, it may not boot when bios is set to EUFI mode. Most bios's will allow you to change from EUFI to LEGACY. So if USB does not boot first time, try this next.
