Does Windows SIM work on Windows 7 (x64) to create an answer file?

I downloaded and installed Windows AIK on my laptop which runs Windows 7 (x64).  I copy the install.wim file to my local hard drive from a Windows 7 DVD (I've tried copying it from an enterprise DVD, Ultimate DVD, x86 DVD).  When I try to load the install.wim file I get this error message:
There was en error for loading a catalog file for image Windows 7 ENTERPRISE in windows image file c:\install.wim.
Details: The specified location contains a Windows image that is not compatible with the current version of Windows.

Therefore I cannot create an answer file.  Here is the log file from the error message:
