Note:
To run this example, change the name and the path of the current directory as needed.

The CreateCatalog method must be run under system administrator account with elevated privilege; otherwise, it throws InvalidOperationException.

using System.IO;
using Microsoft.ComponentStudio.ComponentPlatformInterface;

namespace CreateCatalogs
{
	class CreateCatalog
	{
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			// Define the current directory:
			string currentdir = @"C:\myWorkingFolder";

			// Get a list of .wim files in the current directory:
			string[] wimfiles = Directory.GetFiles(
				currentdir, @"*.wim");
				Console.WriteLine(
				"Number of .wim files in current directory: {0} ",
				wimfiles.Length);

			// Create loop for each .wim file:
			foreach (string wimfile in wimfiles)
			{
				// Write current directory and .wim file to 
				// the console:
				String wimpath = wimfile;
				Console.WriteLine(wimpath);

				// Create a new Cpi instance:
				WimInfo wimInfo = Cpi.Instance.OpenWim(wimpath);

				// Create loop for each image in the .wim file:
				foreach (OfflineImageInfo imageInfo in wimInfo.Images)
				{
					// Write Windows images to the console:
					Console.WriteLine(imageInfo.ImageName);
			}
				foreach (OfflineImageInfo imageInfo in wimInfo.Images)
				{
					Console.WriteLine("Creating catalog for: " +
					 imageInfo.ImageName);
					 // Create catalog:
					 imageInfo.CreateCatalog();
			}
		}
