| Cannot convert value "" to type "Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimSession[]". Error: "The method or operation is not implemented."
Usage: unique [option[s]] OUTPUT-FILE
Options:
-v verbose mode, output stats before each slow pass (if any)
-inp=FILE read from FILE instead of stdin
-cut=N truncate input lines to N bytes
-cut=LM for LM: Split lines longer than 7 in two, and uppercase
-hash-size=N override the hash size (given in log2). The default is
25 for 2304 MB, memory use doubles for each increment
-buf=N Total allowed buffer size, in GB. If -hash-size isn't
given as well, a sensible one will be used
-ex_file=FILE the data from FILE is also used to unique the output, but
nothing is ever written to FILE
-ex_file_only=FILE assumes the input is already unique, and only checks
against FILE (again the latter is not written to)
NOTE that if you try to use more memory than actually available physical
memory, performance will just drop.
CIMCmdlets seems to be available only on Windows.
Installing the Cim module from PSGallery doesn't change a thing because it has only some Get-SimReg* commands and CimSession just implement New-CimSessionDown for New-CimSession.

Is there a way to parse for Wim file without Cim?
