Automating the WimWizard install.wim updating process is as simple as creating a scheduled task. The following powershell code can be used to create and update a scheduled task.
<# Create-WimWizard-ScheduledTask
This script will create a scheduled task that runs WimWizard to automatically update a Windows install.wim file.
Simply change the following variables.
$WimWizardPath - the full path to the WimWizard.ps1 script.
$WimPath - the full path to the DeployR Windows OS content file.
If a new Windows OS version is uploaded to DeployR simply change the $WimPath variable and rerun this script.
It will update the existing scheduled task.
$TaskName - your desired name for the scheduled task.

### Declare some variables
# These variables are the only ones that should be changed.
