Hello U. V. Bogden! Thank You very much for the help!
The files inside the "install.wim" are arranged in a way that represent the
structure for files and folders on the hard-disk after installation. Setup
simply extracts a part of the archive to the hard-disk and windows is ready
to go! This is realy a cheap and smart way to install windows. Well done
Microsoft!
The 7zip archiver supports it and can extract files from it. This is a good
alternative to installing a driver that mounts it in the file system.
