Hep hey I am trying hard to try edit windows7 wim files, (remove applications such as mediacenter/explorer/dvdmaker and so on...... Is that even possible? Can i integrate google chrome into the wim file instead of explorer? Can i integrate java into the wim file? Thanks Bornung1 DK Merry chrismas to all here at digitallife
You can use DISM to integrate alot and add/remove features dism /image:mountfolder /get-features and you'll see.. About chrome, hm all applications, sure you can sysprep it and use anarethos tool and create a recovery partition.. You should read some more about setupcomplete.cmd appintegration and other stuff, both here and at msfn.org
Cheers tcntad I will try to see what i can do with dism, hopefully get everything to work I have been reading so much that my eyes bleed, but i am not giving up Do you have link to where i can read about setupcomplete.cmd and appintegration? ( only if you have time )
Not really, but check msfn.orgs board for unattended installs, they have some stuff. Also read more about sysprepping
I think for most programs (especially non-microsoft), it's the easiest to let the installer run after install with an unatended file (by this you can easily opdate the iso by just replacing the installer exe with a new version). You could also install it, see what files were written/changed, and what reg values are added, and manually a those to install.wim. Personally I'm not a fan of sysprep, as I believe the image is never going to be as clean as without any install, running sysprep or not. And as tcntad said, the real experts are at msfn.org.
