I have just installed a reference windows 7 x64 machine, sysprep-ed it, went into WinPE mode and captured boot.wim image using ImageX.
I then moved the boot.wim to my local PC under c:\wim, and try to inject drivers into it, before I deploy the new boot.wim to other machines. However I got an error 2: Unable to access the image.
The commands I am running are (run as administrator):
Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:c:\wim\boot.wim
DISM /Mount-Wim /wimfile:c:\wim\boot.wim /index:1 /MountDir:c:\mount
Dism /Image:c:\mount /Add-Driver /Driver:c:\drivers\latitude /Recurse
I have successfully injected drivers using DISM to WinPE boot image, using the same steps. So what is wrong?!!! PS: in terms of permissions, I have full-control permission over the boot.wim file and c:\wim folder. Am really puzzled and stuck.. any input is welcome

I just looked at the log file as suggested by DSIM in the command prompt. It says the Image session has been closed. How come? How can I overcome this problem?

To list the boot.wim info, I run Dsim command and the result seems good:
