Installing WimWizard

Extract WimWizard onto the deployment server and identify the GUI, automation script and update-cache folders used in the recorded setup.

To install WimWizard, download the WimWizard ZIP file to a local location on your deployment server, e.g. D:\WimWizard

Right click>Properties>General tab and remove the "mark of the web" (Unblock)

Extract the contents of the Zip file to the same location, e.g. D:\WimWizard. You should end up with the following structure.

Screenshot retained for review

  • When integrating WimWizard with DeployR the ISO-Source and Output folders are not used.
  • Updates - WimWizard downloads and caches all Microsoft update files for future use.
  • WimWizard-GUI.ps1 is the GUI front end of WimWizard and is useful to run once to see what the product can do and how it works (it opens a nice PS windows so you can see what is happening behind the scenes).
  • WimWizard.ps1 is what does all the heavy lifting. It is essentially what is run by the GUI in the background. All command line automation is done directly with WimWizard.ps1
