▼To Add Drivers to the WIM Image

3.Mount the Windows image you just exported. For example,

imagex /mountrw C:\windows_distribution\sources\install.wim 1 C:\win_mount

The first Windows image in the Install.wim file is mounted to C:\wim_mount.

4.Use Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) to create an answer file that contains the paths to the device drivers that you intend to install.

See the Microsoft documentation for the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for the details of starting the Windows SIM application.

5.Add the Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE component to your answer file in the offlineServicing pass.

6.Expand the Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE node in the answer file. Right-clickDevicePaths, and then select Insert New

PathAndCredentials.

A new PathAndCredentials list item appears.

7.In the Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE component, specify the path to the architecture folder in the DriverPack folder on the network share, and the credentials used to access the network share.

For example, the path and credentials for a 64-bit image might be:

<Path>\\yourshare\share\DriverPack\amd64</Path> <Credentials>

<Domain>MyDomain</Domain>

<Username>MyUserName</Username>

<Password>MyPassword</Password>
