Mount and Unmount an Image

The following code example demonstrates how to mount and to unmount an image, by using the WIMMountImage and WIMUnmountImage functions.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <wimgapi.h>

#define MOUNT_DIRECTORY L"c:\\mount"
#define WIM_FILE        L"c:\\sample_image.wim"
#define IMAGE_INDEX     1

DWORD MountImage(BOOL bOpenForWriting)
{
    BOOL  bRet    = FALSE;
    DWORD dwError = ERROR_SUCCESS;
    WCHAR szTempPath[MAX_PATH] = {0};
    HANDLE hWim   = NULL;
    HANDLE hImage = NULL;

    // Get a temporary working directory to use with WIMGAPI.
    //
    bRet = GetTempPathW(ARRAYSIZE(szTempPath), szTempPath);
    if (!bRet)
    {
        dwError = GetLastError();
        wprintf(L"Error 0x%08x while attempting to determine temporary path.\n", dwError);
    }

    // Open the Windows image.
    //
    if (bRet)

        }

        // If the image was captured with WIM_FLAG_VERIFY, you can use whole-file verification.
        // The verification will add time to the operation, but can be used to catch .wim file corruption.

Remarks

  • When mounting an image, you must ensure that the temporary path does not lie within the mount path.

  • If you intend to mount an image for read-only access, do not specify a temporary path.
