How to get the correct version, build info of a Windows ISO?

There's also the good old gimagex, that provides the needed info.

 

Yep, not the clearest way to indicate what happens, but after all coders aren't normal human beings

 

They are creatures of the night, live in basements, and run on caffeine. What else do you need to know?

 

Just install the bugger and check, will be faster.

 

after mounting can it be converted to a reg file (registry), I've been looking for this treat but can't find a way, take the registry from the hive file sir

 

What's wrong in file --> export?

 

there is no problem with the file but I want to import it in the form of a reg file, so it's easy to apply on other windows, can you help teach me sir?

 

Assuming we are talking of "system", mount the hive in, say 000 folder when asked

You export something from the 000 key

You get something like

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\000\blahblah\foo\bar

To import on live system you need obviously

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\blahblah\foo\bar

So is pretty obvious that all you need is to replace

\000\ with \System\

Just use notepad ++ and do it

 

how to mount it,use GimageX or use other tools, bro

 

@acer-5100 coz i use toolkit msmg the result like this,but I'm confused where the results are located


Loading Image Registry..

Well posting the keys with typos and /or messed up copy/paste doesn't help, use the code tag if you are unsure or you're using a crappy browser.

Whatever


In the first two examples
is pretty obvious you need to replace

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TK_SYSTEM with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TK_Software with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software

for the user I guess, you need to replace

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TK_NTUSER

with

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\

As the last one


I guess you're talking about the default user registry.

It's just a template for new users creation and is normally not mounted

So you can mount C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT in the same mount folder used by the original reg, hence you can leave the .reg unchanged.

 

I wrote a PowerShell wrapper script which does all the work using wimlib-imagex.exe & offlinereg.exe, and avoids the need for Admin rights, DISM or registry mounting. The script checks if both tools are in your path or the script's current path, and downloads them if required.

To summarize the steps:
1. wimlib-imagex info install.wim --extract-xml
2. Parse XML to count how many images.
Loop through images:
3. wimlib-imagex extract --no-acls install.wim [index] /Windows/System32/config/SOFTWARE
4. offlinereg SOFTWARE "Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" enumallvalues
5. Parse offlinereg output for the reg keys.

Code:

I didn't know offlinereg, then i searched a bit and I got it.

It's just another pearl from Nirsoft.

Hardly any of its utilities is deluding

 

I'm talking about Erwan L program, which UUP dump script downloads to their bin folder (except it's an old version).

 

Yes I noticed that after posting.

Whatever they likely do they same thing, I haven't had time to compare, yet.

 

I played with your script, and it's working pretty well for me. I had troubles with the program automatically downloading and extracting wimlib and offlinereg, but once I did that manually, it works and provides useful information. Nice work!

On edit: I am referring to the powershell script contained in CorrectVersion.bat

 

Oops, my bad [editing error]. The problem was hidden by my script's attempt to cache any downloaded EXE's. I verified it works from an empty folder.
Thanks for the report!
