Quick-Mount-Wim

Quick-Mount Utility 📂

A lightweight PowerShell productivity tool designed to bypass the manual CLI overhead of mounting Windows Image (.wim) files.

✨ Key Features

• GUI File Picker: Integrated System.Windows.Forms allows users to browse for .wim files instead of manually typing long absolute paths.
• Automated Workspace: Intelligent logic checks for and creates the standard C:\MountPath directory automatically if it is missing.
• Instant Access: Upon a successful mount, the script automatically triggers explorer.exe to open the mount location for immediate verification.
• Visual Status Tracking: Provides color-coded console feedback to track the mounting process and confirm completion.

📋 Prerequisites

• Permissions: Must be executed with Administrator privileges (required for Mount-WindowsImage).
• OS: Windows 10 / 11 / Server.
• Dependency: Built on the native DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) PowerShell module.

🚀 Usage Instructions

1. Launch PowerShell as Administrator.
2. Navigate to the directory and execute the utility:

   .\Quick-Mount.ps1

3. When the file dialog appears, navigate to and select your target .wim file.
4. Wait for the "Mounting Complete!" message.
5. The mount directory (C:\MountPath) will open automatically in a new File Explorer window.
