    Manually, it's just a few steps:

    extract the install.wim, compress it to install.esd, open ISO in UltraISO, PowerISO or similar and replace install.wim with install.esd.

    In batch just 3 lines:

    Put wimlib-imagex.exe + dll, cdimage.exe and the 7zip files in the bin folder and open an elevated cmd prompt and run
    Code:
    BIN\7z x -y -oISO Source_ISO
    
    BIN\wimlib-imagex export "ISO\Sources\install.wim" ALL "ISO\Sources\install.esd" --compress=LZMS --solid
    
    BIN\cdimage.exe -bootdata:2#p0,e,b"ISO\boot\etfsboot.com"#pEF,e,b"ISO\efi\Microsoft\boot\efisys.bin" -o -m -u2 -udfver102 -lWin10_ISO ISO Win10_With_Install_ESD.ISO
    
    This is all that is needed, and i put it in a simple .cmd with some optimizations.
