What happened?

Unlike .ISO and .EFI files, the boot manager does not recognize any .WIM files (they're put into /WIM/ directory on 1st partition). There is no filtering for WIM files and does not find in WIMBOOT mode. Also browse mode does not show the files (neither the WIM root folder is shown).

Did you add the wimboot plugin file, as described in the documentation?

trumpeta commented 3 months ago

No, I did not notice the requirement at first. By putting the ISO on the drive WIMs already are visible. I would suggest to include all format plugin files into the installation package.
