DISM - Add or Remove Drivers on an Offline Image

Good morning.

I setup a variable for the drive letter and the desktop [ in case the OS is not installed on C: ].

Now I can export the current Online drivers without a problem . . .

Code:

Dism /Online /Export-Driver /Destination:"%DesktopFolder%\Drivers_CUR"

For some reason I can't export the drivers from a Mounted image using right-click the ISO and click Mount. I want to use Index:6 which is Pro . . .

Code:

Dism /Image:"%drvlttr%":\sources\install.wim /Index:6 /Export-Driver /Destination:"%DesktopFolder%\Drivers_OFF"

Now I think that it has something to do with the fact that there are 11 images in the ISO.
I have tried including the Index number in the cmd but I can't get it to work.
I am sure I am missing something really simple here.

When I run . . .

Code:

Dism /Image:"%drvlttr%":\ /Export-Driver /Destination:"%DesktopFolder%\Drivers_OFF"

I get the message . . .

Error: 2
Unable to access the image.

I have full access and permissions.

Thanks in advance.

Terms Mount and Mounted can be a bit confusing, as they mean two completely different things: Mounting an ISO (right click > Mount) means that the ISO image file is mounted as Read Only virtual DVD.

Mounting a WIndows image for offline servicing (tutorial Part Three) means a user specified Windows image (index) from install.wim file is extracted to a Mount folder, where it can be serviced (add drivers etc.), and then these changes committed (saved) to same install.wim file.

Because committing changes means that the install.wim file cannot be write protected, you cannot mount install.wim directly from mounted ISO, as it is on Read Only (write protected) virtual DVD.

Short: you cannot add drivers to a mounted ISO, nor can you export drivers from it. Both operations require a Windows image being mounted for offline servicing.

Thanks for the reply @Kari, it is appreciated.

I mounted the ISO and tried to export the drivers but it did NOT give me any results!
Here is what I did . . .

Code:

dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:"G:\sources\install.wim" /sourceindex:6 /destinationimagefile:"D:\Test\install.wim"
dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"D:\Test\install.wim" /Index:1 /MountDir:"D:\Test\MountWim"
dism /Image:"D:\Test\MountWim" /Export-Driver /Destination:"D:\Test\Drivers"

Thanks for the Tutorial Kari!

I want to inject new storage drivers so that when I install Win10 offline with autounattend.xml it can find the harddisk.
It doesn't work for me to mount the image, is it because it's a LTSC 2019 version?
What is the difference between Mount-Image and Mount-Wim?
If I want the new drivers to be available before installing windows I guess I need to inject the boot.wim?
In boot.wim there is two index, one Microsoft Windows PE (x64) and the other Microsoft Windows Setup (x64), so which one should I inject the drivers to? both?

When I use:

Code:

DISM /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"D:\injectdrivers\DVD\sources\install.wim" /Index:1 /MountDir:"D:\injectdrivers\mount" /checkintegrity

I also tried like this with same result

Code:

DISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:"D:\injectdrivers\DVD\sources\boot.wim" /Index:1 /MountDir:"D:\injectdrivers\mount" /checkintegrity

The result I get is this error:

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17763.1282

Error: 0xc142011f

The volume of the specified mount path does not support reparse points. Please mount to a volume that supports reparse points.

Many thanks in advance

PS. Yes I know "quotes" is only needed if there is a space in the path DS.

@Kari
Thanks for great tutorials.

I did export all installed official drivers from current machine (Windows 10) and saved them on D: partition. My ask is now how to restore them when i will re-install Windows on that machine? is avalaible restoring fron Powershell or CMD? Thanks.
