DISM is a great tool to use for scripting updates to WIM or VHDX files.
\nHere’s how to get started for VHDX, VHD, or WIM files offline.
\ndism \/mount-image \/imagefile:boot.vhdx \/mountdir:d:\\mount \/index:1
\nHere are a few tricks to remembering the syntax, minus using Google, most DISM commands that perform an action or verbs are separated with a hyphen, e.g., mount-image. The files and directories or nouns use only a single word, e.g., imagefile:, mountdir:.
\nFinding the indexes for WIM or install images:
\ndism \/get-wiminfo \/wimfile:Nanoserver.wim
\nAdding packages offline to NanoServer.VHDX files:
\ndism \/mount-image \/mountdir:d:\\mount \/imagefile:nanoserver.vhdx \/index:1 (Mounts the only index of this installed Nano Image.)
\ndism \/image:d:\\mount \/add-package \/packagepath:d:\\NanoServer\\packages\\Microsoft-NanoServer-Computer-Package.cab (Add this package to that NanoServer install)
\ndism \/umount-image \/mountdir:d:\\mount \/commit (Writes the changes)
