It is unfortunate that the screenshot used is for the Windows 7 installer, because it makes it seem as you can just continue and it'll work. It won't. The files required by the installer is not inside boot.wim, and as such they need to be located somewhere. You can either insert the Windows 7 installer DVD locally, or provide the files required on an SMB/CIFS network share. The following howto explains how to do the latter: http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe

I'm experiencing exactly the same thing, except for in my case it's Windows 10.

So, do I understand correctly that wimboot can boot the install.wim file (well, apparently it can). But it cannot be used to install Windows?
Perhaps you can elaborate on the how and why? And can I derive from this that WinPE is therefore always required to install Windows in our iPXE way of things?

Could be nice if this would be clarified a little bit on the wimboot page, right now it's suggested that u can just boot the installer and that's it.

Thanks!!
