Code: Dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:x:\install.wim /SWMFile:y:\install.swm /FileSize:3500 x=source wim y=target swm 3500=swm max filesize (has to be <4GB)
Also i would like to delete some windows edition from the iso except Home & Pro. How can i do it? Will this reduce the file size too? Forgot to mention that all of this is done in Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 bit PC Thank you for u r support
Just export the desired indices to a new install.wim and next split it. Code: dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:"x:\install.wim" /SourceIndex:z /DestinationImageFile:"y:\install.wim" /Compress:max /checkintegrity
Thank you for your support @Enthousiast command lines gives me errors, or maybe because i didnt have enough experience. It didnt work. so finally i use MSMG ToolKit & everything was fine. Now i done indices, i am going to combine those iso's first & then split wim's . Will update on my custom iso
1. Deleted unwanted indices 2. Combined those iso's using "multi_arch_iso.cmd" Now here is the problem. If i use MSMG ToolKit to split wim's ie, extract the combined x64x86 iso to the dvd folder of MSMG ToolKit, I cannot create iso from that dvd folder. But if i use poweriso to create iso from the dvd folder, resulted file will be of ~11gb instead original combined iso is ~6gb - iso lacking those compression used by "multi_arch_iso.cmd". Pls help me, I am stuck!!!
MSMG doesn't support multi-arch iso's, just split the install.wim files and replace the ones in the multi-arch iso manually.
i try that but the iso file size is increased to 11 GB. I want to compress it back to 6gb, which is the size of combined x64x86 iso file created by multi_arch_iso.cmd
My win 10 AIO multi-arch iso (20 indices) is 6.37 GB (6,847,561,728 bytes) in size, i use install.esd files instead of install.wim/swm. Both install.esd files are <4GB to fit the FAT32 max filesize limit for UEFI booting.
Use this to compress the install.wim files to install.esd files: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/esd-wim-conversion-batch.54007/#post-903619
This is whats happening... I combined x64 & x86 iso with "multi_arch_iso.cmd" File size: 6Gb. If this iso is extracted to a folder, File size: 12Gb --------------------------------- If i create ISO from the extracted folder File size: 12Gb. using some compression method, which is used in "multi_arch_iso.cmd" I want to create ISO from that extracted folder with a file size ~6Gb. Please tell me how "multi_arch_iso.cmd" can achieve 12gb to 6gb compression? My pc is lowend, which is why i cannot use wim > esd converter.. Pls help!!
You probably used the option to create a multi-arch iso with one shared install.wim, i never use it, i always create an iso with 2 separate install.wim, one x86 and one x64, next i replace the boot.wim and install.wim in the x64 and the ones in the x86 folder with my modified install.esd and boot.wim, the size is just over 6GB.
Yes I used the option to create a multi-arch iso with one shared install.wim. Sorry i didnt know that. Now i will try to use 2 separate install.wim & will update further progress. Okay now I understand completely. Thank you @Enthousiast for your support After finish my build, will post a tuts on combined x64 & x86 iso.
