    Updated the tool to be able to run x86 wimlib-imagex on x86 systems and x64 on x64 systems.

    Code i got from @Windows_Addict to use for my SiMPLiX tool :)

    Is there any reason for relying on such an old 7-zip release? Is the current 19.00 release not working right?

    I just copied the files from the latest ESD>ISO v49 by @abbodi1406 :D

    Is there any real need for renewal of the 7z files?

    Maybe it’s more efficient? I don’t know.

    It's just an extra precaution,if it is too much work to implement in @abbodi1406 tool then I guess it's not worth it.

    It has a high chance getting blocked from working by all kinds of the security products, as old 7-Zip releases have been flagged as being "risky".

    I haven't come across any usual/standard AV that blocks vulnerable software versions but then this tool is not 7-zip so..

    As long as there are no important reasons (like removed features), it doesn't hurt being on the latest version.

    What is the difference of using each method? In which cases should I use INSTALL.ESD or INSTALL.SWM?

    ESD uses compression while SWM splits the file into 2 to make it FAT32 compatible. I once run it on an older hardware and compression seemed to take much longer time then I used SWM and it completed within 10 mins or something. SWM also doesn't work on Windows 7.

    Check this post for full story.

    You can use this tool to create a USB stick with install.wim>4 gbytes.

    Yeah, that's another overcomplicated tool to do it, but this one does optimize boot.wim (by default there are deleted files in most of the boot.wim files inside officially released iso's, win 7 and up.) and install.wim, before it creates the split wim files, when using install.esd wimlib-imagex will do it at compressing.

    Last year was "Feb 21, 2019", I explained it on another thread, my bad.

    I wish I knew wimlib command on Feb 21, 2019, it would have been made the things much easier for me back then.

    Glad that it works on Win 7 too now, it'll save time if anyone have to do it on Win 7.

    Thanks!
