Try mounting the WIM with the PE Tools Command Prompt, then look for the XML file. It must be in there someplace. I haven't tried it myself, but then again I don't seem to be using the deployment method you are.

Method 1 - Limited:

Yep export all images or just the one you want.

Example :



Rename the last part whatever you want.



I use it like this :

@sp00f,

yes, it should show description as shown in ur screenshot, but in this matter it is using "Display Discription" and "Display Image" tag instead of "Name" and "Description"!
all these images are custom built of diff. versions.

these "Display Discription" and "Display Image" are in 1.xml of install.wim file , is there any way to extract and rebuild 1.xml?

WIMGetImageInformationReturns information about an image within the .wim (Windows image) file.

C++
BOOL
WINAPI
WIMGetImageInformation(
HANDLE hImage,
LPVOID *lplpvImageInfo,
LPDWORD lpcbImageInfo
);



Parameters
hImage

[in] A handle returned by the WIMCreateFile, WIMLoadImage, or WIMCaptureImage function.

lplpvImageInfo

[out] A pointer to a buffer that receives the address of the XML information about the volume image. When the function returns, this value contains the address of an allocated buffer, containing XML information about the volume image.

lpcbImageInfo

[out] A pointer to a variable that specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by the value of the lplpvImageInfo parameter.
Return ValueIf the function succeeds, then the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, then the return value is zero. To obtain extended error information, call the GetLastError function.
RemarksWhen the function succeeds, then the data describing the image is in Unicode XML format. Use the LocalFree function to free the memory pointed to by the lplpvImageInfo parameter when no longer needed.

WIMLoadImage
WIMCaptureImage

WIMSetImageInformationStores information about an image in the Windows image (.wim) file.

C++
BOOL
WINAPI
WIMSetImageInformation(
HANDLE hImage,
LPVOID lpvImageInfo,
DWORD cbImageInfo
);



Parameters
hImage

[in] A handle returned by the WIMCreateFile, WIMLoadImage, or WIMCaptureImage functions.

lpvImageInfo

[in] A pointer to a buffer that contains information about the volume image.

cbImageInfo

[in] Specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by the lpvImageInfo parameter.
Return ValueIf the function succeeds, then the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, then the return value is zero. To obtain extended error information, call the GetLastError function.
RemarksThe data buffer being passed into the function must be the memory representation of a Unicode XML file. Calling this function replaces any customized image data, so, to preserve existing XML information, call the WIMGetImageInformation function and append or edit the data.

If the input handle is from the WIMCreateFile function, then the XML data must be enclosed by <WIM></WIM> tags. If the input handle is from the WIMLoadImage or WIMCaptureImage functions, then the XML data must be enclosed by <IMAGE></IMAGE> tags.

Why do you stupid people talk alot of bulls*** if you can use microsofts wimgapi to do this

because we didn't know C++?

I just updated GImageX so that you can add the DisplayName and DisplayDescription tags during capture or change them on existing images. Let me know how it works out
