Vista install files

Does anyone know where Vista stores the install files? In XP, they are located in the i386 folder. Vista doesn't have an i386 folder. I do not have access to the install DVD, nor access to any DC. I'm just a little guy supporting 2 groups, part of a huge domain in a huge forest.

I hate being strapped down like this, but with a mandatory move to Vista I need to find a replacement for BartPE..

I don't believe Vista copies over the big WIM file. What do you need from it anyway?

The Vista install disk uses WindowsPE. What exactly are you trying to do?

the install files are kept in install.wim on the installation media, but that exact image is copied over during install. There arent any "additional" files like i386 of past.

I'll figure something out... I remember the guy I replaced was going nuts when he was trying to figure this out. I'm been trying to get a hold of him to find out how he got around the restrictions and lack of media.

All I'm really trying to do is make an updated XML answer file. I could just edit the one I have now, but it's so old it I thought it would make more sense to just make a new one...
