Browse and extract files from a WIM file using 7-Zip

7-Zip is a free file archiver supporting many of today’s known archive formats such as ZIP, CAB, RAR and many more. Anyone who deals a lot with WIM files (Windows Image files) knows about the mount and un-mount commands and if you use imagex.exe and dism.exe on a regular basis you probably know the commands out of your head.

7-Zip also allows you to open, browse and extract content from a WIM file. This is especially helpful if you don’t have the imagex.exe or dism.exe installed.

Typo in PE 3.0 Users guide

I’ve just found a typo in the Windows PE 3.0 Users guide.

dism /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:“C:\Program Files\Windows OPK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_OCs\winpe-wmi.cab”

dism /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:“C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_OCs\winpe-wmi.cab”

“OPK” should be replaced with “AIK” otherwise if you copy paste the sample commandline adding an optinonal component will not work.
