Where can one read the source code of setup.exe

That's, e.g., how I would determine what these commands do

I have had HN replies in the past that argued Windows is open source and thus comparable to UNIX-like OS projects where _the public_ can read the source code and make modifications, _for free_

Absent the source code, we can read Microsoft's documentation

It seems like WinPE is the most useful version of Windows, e.g., it allows more options to setup.exe

How does one quickly and easily download and install a copy of WinPE, preferably on removable media
