How to create a Windows 7 wim image with ImageX

I'm following the book MCTS Microsoft Windows 7 Configuration Study Guide: Exam 70-680, Study Guide, 2nd Edition to create a Windows image file from a Windows 7 installation.

I've already used sysprep.exe to generalize the image. I've created a bootable ISO of WinPE but when I try to use imagex.exe to create the wim file with:

E:\ImageX.exe /capture C: C:\Images\image.wim “Windows 7” /verify

The following error appears:

Error opening file [C:\Images\image.wim]. The system cannot find the path speficied.

I am not sure where the problem lies as it is my first time doing this. Any help is appreciated.

On another note, is there a way to create the WinPE iso specifiying a es-ES keyboard layout?

Again, thank you.

Thanks to Hennes for the answer.

The problem was that the folder wasn't created:

mkdir C:\Images

E:\ImageX.exe /capture C: C:\Images\image.wim “Windows 7” /verify

Worked succesfully.
