    need to check out, coz I don't use windows recovery mode at all as I do remove it with unattend.xml, instead I use r-drive image if anything goes wrong with my system for restoring.

    you know what? i just gave this command a shot in the dark:

    DISM /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:C:\install.esd /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:C:\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8.1" /Compress:recovery

    and guess what? it worked! it gave me install.wim of exactly the same size as install.esd and also it gives me an option to select image when i select option 2 in the toolkit. let's see if this would work.

    /Compress:recovery is only for .esd format not for install.wim

    Congratulations, you now have an install.esd file incorrectly named.

    I just pulled the install.wim out of MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.8.1.RTM.X64.ENGLISH.DVD-WZT was easier than wasting time installing the OS.

    @ MSMG

    Great work, maybe its work mentioning that the updates need to be named correctly? also would be great if you could add features to enable net framework 3.5 and also add in drivers...

    iv just ran it again and it seems ok. the only problem i have is the iso is now 4.55 GB (4,887,525,376 bytes). from the original 3.63 GB (3,899,295,744 bytes) is this normal for a x64 version with all 6 updates??...i did

    [1] Update Boot WIM Image

    [2] Update Install and Recovery WIM Image (option 1)

    [3] Update DVD Root Files and Folders

    [4] Make a DVD ISO Image

    It's normal, but you can shrink it down by using install.esd recovery compression instead of install.wim max compression.
    Code:
    dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:c:\win81x64\sources\install.wim /sourceindex:1 /destinationimagefile:c:\win81x64\sources\install.esd /compress:recovery /checkintegrity
repeat for every sourceindex and then
del /q /s c:\win81x64\sources\install.wim
re-iso it...

    On the ISO file? Can you please explain this a bit clear.

    The resulting ISO installed on VBox and is up to date by is 400 meg larger. Is that a lot of work for 400 meg?

    Regards

    Made some changes today but still need to work on AIO Source OS (x64 & x86) support and also about the redundant process of Winre.wim.

    and for .ESD to .WIM conversion need to sort some issues with it as the one .esd image format of prowmc which I got by store update contains 4 indexes in it, the first three are boot, setup and recovery and the 4th one is install image. I need to know is it same for every install.esd

    then the order of integrating those two extras may be changed as the wzor has given a different order in a recent leak. the 2nd prequiste update has become the 4th Feature pack now.

    Changes:

    + Merged two script files into one, If those two extras updates are copied to the updates then they will be detected and integrated
    + Updated DISM to Build 6.3.19600.17031
    + Updated memtest.exe and other stuffs to 6.3.19600.17031

    :)

    No, the indexes are: Media Layout (ISO directories), boot index1, boot index2, install
    of course it's not the same, custom made .esd files has custom indexes
    you can check the indexes in .esd file using:
    Code:
    DISM /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:install.esd
DISM /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:install.esd /Index:1
    wzor is mistaken, even if kb2939087 is not a prerequisite, it's still just a regular update, not a feature pack

    Work? not really. The hard part is testing what you make. It's not difficult to run a few commands.
    I'm a little confused by your query. Do you not know how to iso a file? or not know how to convert to esd file? or both?

    Obviously a misunderstanding as he seems to think the code you posted could be used to manipulate the ISO directly, not the WIM.......:tea::smoking:
