//NTDLL: dynamic load to abuse it's internal C runtime functions (swprintf_s). This makes the executable teeny.

UniFi Controller on Windows Embedded Standard
This is pretty easy to get working, and has a pretty low footprint, especially on x86.
-Windows Embedded Standard 7, use the Industrial Automation template. I removed the .net Frameworks, IIS, and added Diagnostics\User to get Task Manager. I also added the file compression utility. Disk footprint was 910 MB.
Note: if you are using a network share to install you may need to start the Computer Browser service.
-Install Java. Correct Bitness for the system installed.
-Install UniFi controller.
-Follow these instructions to install UniFi as a service: https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/205144550-UniFi-Run-the-Controller-as-a-Windows-Service
-At this point, the disk space used was 1.63GB.
Optinally, compress the disk.
