Where to Find WIM Files for Deployment

It took me a long time to figure this out, but the Microsoft-proprietary WIM installation image files can only be acquired from the OS install discs. If you're deploying Windows 7, insert the Windows 7 disc that you have and pull the Boot.wim and Install.wim out of the "sources" folder. If you have an ISO of the install disc, just extract those files with your archive management program of choice.
