ESD <> WIM Conversion batch

wimlib doesn't allow duplicate images name

MS imagex might allow it

WIM <> ESD updated.

Well, Just noticed something:
Was trying to export a single index install.wim to install.esd.
It worked as always, but it shows incorrect file sizes? A bit funny though. Running on Windows 10 1903.
Edit: After updating wimlib to the latest 1.13.1, it now shows the correct file size when exporting WIMs.

ESD2WIM-WIM2ESD
# Info #

An automated script to convert Solid-compressed ESD file to a Regular-compressed WIM file and vice versa
the script is ment for custom made install.esd or already decrypted ESD files.

# How To Use #

- Temporary disable AV or protection program so it doesn't interfere with the process.

- Make sure the ESD file is not read-only or blocked.

- Extract this pack to a folder with simple path to avoid troubles (example: C:\ESD).

- You may start the process using any of these ways:
# Copy/Move install.esd or install.wim file next to the script, then run convert.cmd

# Drag & drop the file on convert.cmd

# Run convert.cmd and you will be prompted to enter the file path

# Open command prompt in the script folder, and execute: convert FileNameAndPath
this method allow you to use ESD/WIM file from any location.
examples:
convert install.wim
convert "C:\Win8.1 ISO\sources\install.esd"
convert C:\RecoveryImage\install.esd

- You will have these options (varies depending on the number of indexes):
0 - Quit
1 - Export single index
2 - Export all indexes
3 - Export consecutive range of indexes
4 - Export randomly selected indexes

this option will be available only with administrator privileges:
5 - Apply single index to another drive

# Notes #

- When converting WIM to Solid ESD, the process will consume very high amount of CPU and RAM resources
if your machine specifications are not powerful enough, the operation will substantially paralyze your system.

- If you are converting ESD to WIM, make sure there is no install.wim file present in the script's directory.

- To use option 5, you must run convert.cmd 'as administrator'
during applying, you may see "[WARNING] Failed to enable short name support", you can safely ignore it.

- Based on wimlib-imagex utility created by synchronicity (Eric Biggers)
- Works on Windows XP environment and later.
- Faster/Produce slightly smaller size compared to DISM.

@abbodi1406 suddenly im getting this warning
Code:
[WARNING] Couldn't create parallel chunk compressor: Ran out of memory.
          Falling back to single-threaded compression.
Although i still have 10g ram unused ?
Any thoughts

abbodi1406 · May 18, 2023

Try the latest wimlib

Acideb135 · Aug 12, 2024

@abbodi1406 you can update ESD2WIM 8 and UUP -CONVERTER 107 with the libwim-15.dll v1.14.4 , 32 and 64 bits from 24-02-24 instead of 19-04-21 for ESD2WIM and 28-04-23 for UUP -Converter 107

Edit: Attached Files: ESD2WIM-WIM2ESD-8-update (not for XP)

abbodi1406 · Aug 12, 2024

ESD2WIM might need it (v1.13.6 if i want to keep XP-compatibility)

not necessary for uup-converter

And you know a lot of people still on XP ?

But Why not .

ciscokid · Mar 25, 2025

@abbodi1406 Just a quick question if only for proof of concept going from WIM to ESD, is there any way this script can work when there are only 3 indexes in the WIM file?

I tried it on the IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 WIM file and it says it can't do anything under 4 indexes.

No biggie at all, just checking, thanks for your time!

ESD2WIM convert.cmd does not have that restriction

ESD2ISO decrypt.cmd does have it, and it's for a different purpose

After compressing ESD file, error 4% during installation

shhnedo · Nov 18, 2025

@My VN Make sure your install.esd is in good order(the content of it is not corrupted) - if it installs just fine as an install.wim, then just redo the compression to .esd.

EXO56 · Nov 19, 2025

Made a scripted converter with a gui based on wimlib-imagex and supporting Drag&Drop time ago.

Still in beta cause the code needs more work...
