Hi,
From running Windows (online) and from mounted .wim image (offline), I am able to retrieve the list of installed Appx Packages on a system using:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | select Name,Version
OR Using DISM for the mounted .WIM image.
Is it possible to do the similar when booting from WinPE? The installation directory is C:\Windows ... can we get the AppxPackage list from WinPE?
This means my thought was correct that we can't get AppxPackage list from WinPE without mounting the image.
Thanks for confirmation.
Yes, using WinPE + DISM you can get a list of packages for an offline image: Make Inventory of an Image or Component Using DISM
Hi,
Correct, we can perform this task on a mounted image (offline). In my case, I am talking about without mounting the image and simply booting to the WinPE.
You should be able to boot to WinPE and just point the /image:<path> to the drive that contains the image. I have had to do this for different operations like load a new device driver.

WinPE supports command prompt and PowerShell is not supported there. However, you may open it and then type and enter PowerShell and press enter and it should load PowerShell and then you may type the above command.
Yeah, checked it in WinPE. PS is available, however, Get-AppxPackage wasn't recognized in WinPE.
Hi,
Offline servicing: Update Windows faster by using DISM to make your changes without ever booting Windows. Mount your image to a temporary location, install apps, drivers, languages, and more, and then commit the changes so they can be applied to new devices. DISM works from an elevated command-line or from PowerShell, which makes it easier to automate your changes with scripts.
Offline means mount without booting Windows. I think it's unable to perform the task without mounting the image.
