View Current Packages in a Windows PE Image
The following procedure demonstrates how to use the PEImg tool to view what packages are currently available and installed on the current Windows PE image. Before you can run any PEImg command, you must first apply or mount the Windows PE image by using ImageX. Windows PE provides a base image (Winpe.wim) that contains all available packages. By default, these packages are not installed. You must explicitly install them by using the peimg /install
command.
Note
This command will not work if you already prepared the image by using the peimg /prep
command.
To view available packages in the current Windows PE image
Apply the base image (Winpe.wim) by using ImageX to a local Windows PE directory. For example:
imagex /apply WinPE.wim 1 c:\winpe_x86\mount\
-OR-
imagex /mountrw WinPE.wim 1 c:\winpe_x86\mount\
Run the
peimg /list
command to view all packages in the current image. For example:peimg /list c:\winpe_x86\mount\Windows
Important
Mounting an image in Windows PE is not supported.
If you add the /verbose
option, the output will display the full package name. In the INS column, (+) denotes installed packages and (-) denotes not installed.
