I found this tool while searching the system32 folder:

DISM.exe {/Image:<path_to_offline_image> | /Online} [dism_options]
{servicing_command} [<servicing_arguments>]

and packages in Windows images. The commands that are available depend

images that are corrupt.

For more information about these DISM options and their arguments, specify an
option immediately before /?.
Examples:
DISM.exe /Mount-Wim /?
DISM.exe /ScratchDir /?

DISM.exe /Online /?
C:\Users> Usage short example:
DISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\Windows 7\sources\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\wimtest\images
Looks really promising for working with WIM image files. Off to test it right now!
Note: I found someone has already started testing in order to create a guide. Will try on my part too.
