7-zip is an insanely useful tool that no tech support should be without.
It can open just about any compressed file including Windows disk image files.
Download it from the link below if you don’t already have it installed.
All Windows Vista and 7 installations are stored as an install.wim file on the disk.
Put in your installation media and browse to the sources directory to find it.
launch the install.wim file with 7-zip.
To know which folder you need, copy the xml files to your desktop and open them with notepad.
