Head up, I had to use the full path to the .wim file
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\W7Setup\Drives7\Drives7\Boot\boot.wim

Is the cmd file in the same folder as Boot.wim, in your case C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\W7Setup\Drives7\Drives7\Boot?
I see that you have W7Setup\Drives7\Drives7. Is the cmd file at W7Setup\Drives7 and Boot.wim at W7Setup\Drives7\Drives7\Boot?
Did you use the Drives7.zip attached?
On the image
Left is Drives7\Boot
Right is Drives7\Install
Good idea, but it is a bit complicated for the average user. Might be better to knock up a gui of some kind. Perhaps just browse capability would be enough.
( Winre.wim could do with the same treatment. )
Hello, thank you for doing this. I am currently building a new system and going to use B250M motherboard with i5 7500 cpu. I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit license and I don't want to use Windows 10. I saw that the Kabylake cpus (along with new motherboards) won't support W7, this USB 2/3 support is one of the problems I guess. I want to learn that do I have to install Windows 7 through USB or can I install from a DVD (which I used to format the pc over time) without doing these changes in the files? So are these all for to make new motherboard recognise the USB that contains Windows 7 files?
You can try to install Win 7 using a DVD and navigating with the keyboard (If you have a PS2 Keyboard).
Remember to disable fast boot and secure boot and enable CSM on BIOS.
If you succeed, you'll end with an installation that has no mouse. Use the DVD disk that came with the MB to install the drivers.
But I read that you won't be able to install it on a Kaby lake Chipset / CPU. I read that you can only install Linux and Win 10. By the other hand, I've seen an article that they installed Win 7 on a Kaby lake laptop.
Let us know what you find out.
Thank you for the reply. Actually I am using a USB keyboard but I have an old ps2 keyboard I can use it. Can I also use a PS2 mouse? Honestly I never did anything on Bios, hope I can do these steps properly, I will look more on internet about them.
When searching about Kaby Lake - Windows 7 issue, I came across a Kaby Lake CPU review in which they test it using Windows 7. Here is the link:
The Intel Core i7-7700K (91W) Review: The New Out-of-the-box Performance Champion
So I understand from that Windows 7 can be used on kaby lake processors without any important issue.

You can try this tutorial that adds the drivers not only to the installation wizard but also to the maintenance and to the installation. You can also go to the MSI or Asus site and download their program to add the drivers only to the installation wizard.
I also read that you need to add the AHCI / SATA drivers.
Hello everyone.
There is no driver in the archive. Can everybody upload a driver?
Welcome to the Forum
This tutorial was created almost 4 years ago. It is still valid but the drivers have to be furnished by the user.
SIW2 has a more up to date tutorial. Have a look at Update your Win 7 installation media
