You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. It seems to ping-pong your file reads to all corners of the drive. It only makes sense to use this on a SSD where seek times are not an issue.
I removed the Winre.wim file and moved it to C:\Images like stated changed the drive letter to that of my mounted VHD now I'm getting this when running the first command And this error when running the second command
You have to run that capture under the adk's command line environment variables. You might be able to toss all the files in the same folder with the adk's dism, but I've found that simply running the start menu's adk command line and doing the capture works..
You were right man I wasn't thinking. Though the first command completed successfully. The second one gives me the same error. Maybe because the Winre.Wim file isn't on the recovery partition?
Capturing wimboot image doesn't support using /compress parameter, it's uses max by default Code: DISM /Capture-Image /WIMBoot /CheckIntegrity /ImageFile:C:\Images\install_wimboot.wim /CaptureDir:I:\ /Name:"WIMBoot 8.1" /Description:"WIMBoot 8.1"
If that's true, my successes were likely due to frustration and copy/pasting the example from the chm... good eye abbodi1406...
Yeah, you're right. It's late. I forgot to get abbodi1406's version LOL I feel so silly now. Gonna try that once it's installed. If I have any more problems I'll report back.
I will probably put up a menu'd aio on TPB after we get the pre-compiled msdn versions. I could use help with menus that don't look like sh** when selecting different options, but I get the basics... It would just need to be polished up a lot more. Honestly, it was just such a chore doing all this stuff the first time, I just took time off to recoup and get my monthly obligatory releases done. I guess I never really put anything up on TPB because... well we still didn't know enough about it... edit: I get the whole point of the wimboot now... Apparently without it, it groups up the Windows files in a certain area on the disc, and the constant grouping slows things down. The install.wim copy to the M: is not essential at all, and neither is the winre.wim, though it would be a pretty bad idea to not include it, at least by pointing reagentc at it for f8 boot support.
I cleaned up a few of the misleading notes a little bit... I'll have to think up a way to properly display menus and options... I'm terrible with creative solutions for the echo commands and choice options... The winpe variant of "choice" doesn't seem to work and requires the different method. The echo command is limited to ansi characters which are like the keyboard characters and absolutely nothing else. Plus you have to factor in alignment... I guess I could just not use a left/right wall...
Yep, that works, but i'd like to use CHOICE for that, as it requires less action . That's why i asked whether there's a way to get this working in RE CMD, as it seems to be a bit limitted.
Well, did you try to copy the .exe file to Winre's System32 folder? Code: C:\Windows\System32\choice.exe C:\Windows\System32\en-US\choice.exe.mui
Nope . Not always easy to see the closest solution, good to have some members here that are able to do . Will test straightly after my shopping tour, starting to starve here . Will report back then.
Hah... I like that even more. Srsly the other choice options *BLOW* I guess the sysWOW64 version of choice.exe is for when you have more than 2GB of choices
I love you man !!!! It's actually indeed that easy . Copied the files from a mounted Win 8 WIM to boot.wim of my Win8PESE ISO, added my script to Users\Default\Desktop and it works :flowers2:.
Ok the ADK commands finally worked! But I'm stuck at "3) Mount the boot.wim from c:\WinPE_AMD64\media\sources\ and add the update msu packages" You weren't really specific on how to do this. I do understand this guide or whatever is probably not meant for a non expert ha ha.
Code: dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\WinPE_AMD64\media\sources\boot.wim /index:1 /mountdir:c:\WinPE_AMD64\mount dism /image:c:\winpe_amd64\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2919442-x64.msu dism /image:c:\winpe_amd64\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2939087-x64.msu dism /image:c:\winpe_amd64\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2919355-x64.msu dism /image:c:\winpe_amd64\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2932046-x64.msu dism /image:c:\winpe_amd64\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2937592-x64.msu dism /image:c:\winpe_amd64\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2938439-x64.msu dism /image:c:\WinPE_AMD64\mount /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\winpe_amd64\mount /commit dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:c:\winpe_amd64\media\sources\boot.wim /sourceindex:1 /destination imagefile:c:\winpe_amd64\media\boot.wim /compress:max /checkintegrity move /y c:\winpe_amd64\media\boot.wim c:\winpe_amd64\media\sources\
