Windows 8.1 missing WinRE.wim in WinPE

I'm trying to pull a Windows 8.1 .wim file down to a laptop (the same laptop that was the source of the .wim), and am following these directions from MS. Everything works until "W:WindowsSystem32Recoverywinre.wim T:RecoveryWindowsREwinre.wim" (W: is what will be called C:, when I get into Windows).
As far as I can tell, there is no winre.wim in W:windowssystem32recovery. I ran used dir to search the W: drive, but there is no winre.wim. Where is it?
Thanks.

The winre.wim is a file within the install.wim image, which should be mounted first. The mounting is carried out in Step 5:
dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:R:install.wim /Index:1 /ApplyDir:C:
In your case, as you have a W drive and prefer to mount the install.wim image to that location, you should have done something like:
dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:R:install.wim /Index:1 /ApplyDir:W:
PS: The answer assumes a standard install.wim that is equivalent to the one found on the standard installation medium. If your "Windows 8.1 .wim" is customized or created by non-standard means, then it might be really missing the winre.wim file. In that case, you can download the disk image from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO
