Stimpy Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Hi Lego, Just wanted to report a bug in WIM Manager, that when you press the Make ISO button, there is nothing pre-populated in the folder to capture area, and is obviously unable to create an ISO file of the WIM. I'm using version 1.4.1.18 EDIT For the sake of clarity, I am trying to modify the Windows 8 WinPE.WIM, which is part of the Windows 8 Assessment & Deployment Kit.

myselfidem Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) No trouble found! You must write the iso file name and saved path! Edited March 8, 2013 by myselfidem Quote
Legolash2o Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Hi Lego, Just wanted to report a bug in WIM Manager, that when you press the Make ISO button, there is nothing pre-populated in the folder to capture area, and is obviously unable to create an ISO file of the WIM. I'm using version 1.4.1.18 What's the filepath of the install.wim? Quote
Stimpy Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 What's the filepath of the install.wim? Hi Lego, the path is C:\WinPE\winpe.wim - as you can see, I'm playing with the Windows PE environment. I can make the iso, but if I look inside it, it's just winpe.wim inside an ISO file. Quote
Legolash2o Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 At the moment it only does when Win Toolkit detects a 'Sources' folder within the file path. Quote
Stimpy Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) At the moment it only does when Win Toolkit detects a 'Sources' folder within the file path. Ahh, thanks for looking in to this Lego. Is this something you will look at for the future one day? I guess not many people will play around with WinPE with the toolkit... Edited March 7, 2013 by Stimpy Quote
Legolash2o Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Is it ALWAYS DVD\\winpe\\winpe? just like its always DVD\\sources\\install.wim Quote
Stimpy Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Is it ALWAYS DVD\\winpe\\winpe? just like its always DVD\\sources\\install.wim No, this was something I was playing with, and had moved in to that directory for ease of use purposes. If you install the official Windows 8 Deployment Kit, the official paths are... C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\en-us And C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\x86\en-us Edited March 7, 2013 by Stimpy Quote

But thank you for the link. I was trying to be lazy, and just use WinToolKit to do the work for me, just using a few mouse clicks, and when it didn't work, I thought I'd ask about it. WIM to ISO is a function of the Toolkit, I simply did not know that this functionality was limited to only WIM images that contain a version of a Windows OS. Edited March 7, 2013 by Stimpy Quote
myselfidem Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Your question was not clear and you never asked for winpe.wim file! Quote

I did not know that the WIM Manager function of the ToolKit does not work with anything other than those WIM files that contain a full Windows OS. I was simply thinking that the ToolKit was going to be a nice and easy short-cut for helping me make modifications to the WinPE.WIM file, (mount the WIM, make some modifications, save the WIM, then make an ISO out of it for PXE booting, functions that I thought the WIM Manager performed) and that's when I thought that I had found a problem with the Toolkit. Now it seems to me that WIM Manager is not actually meant for use with ALL WIM files, only those that contain a full Operating System, and not the PE Environment. Edited March 7, 2013 by Stimpy Quote
myselfidem Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Yes, as you seems to have learn, it's not the same process! *Edit: WinToolkit can customize boot.wim and install.wim images ! Edited March 7, 2013 by myselfidem Quote
Stimpy Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 Yes, as you seems to have learn, it's not the same process! *Edit: WinToolkit can customize boot.wim and install.wim images ! You really annoy me. You come across rude and arrogant. I would like to know where it explicitly stated that the WIM Manager does not work on ALL WIM files? Making me out to be some kind of idiot just makes you unwanted here. This community is about helping each other, not laughing and pointing fingers at those that don't know every function of this program. It's not like I was trying to use Logitech Setpoint to program the guidance system of a rocket! Quote
Legolash2o Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 What happens when you try and use WIM Manager and an WinPE image? does it let you mount it? Quote
myselfidem Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) A warning pop-up appears! Edited March 8, 2013 by myselfidem Quote
Legolash2o Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Does it then continue to All-In-One Integrator anyway? It's just a notification telling you that not all features are available. Quote

myselfidem Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) @Stimpy However if you have first customized your winpe.wim file using copype.cmd to create your distribution folder, and want create an iso file with WinToolkit... This can be done but I haven't tested the iso file! Edited March 8, 2013 by myselfidem Quote
Stimpy Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) What happens when you try and use WIM Manager and an WinPE image? does it let you mount it? Hi Lego, Yeah, it mounts perfectly... No warnings. It then opens the WinToolKit_Mount Folder, and the contents of it look correct. It also unmounts correctly, with no warnings/errors. The problem seems to be when you try to use the ISO Maker (by pressing the Make ISO button in the WIM Manager), as all it does is create an ISO that contains the WIM file (not decompressed). Also the ISO Maker is not pre-populated with the file/folder location information. Is this intended behaviour, as I have never used the WIM Manager before? Edited March 8, 2013 by Stimpy Quote
myselfidem Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) You really annoy me. You come across rude and arrogant. Where do you find that ? *Edit: About iso winpe, read my answer post #20 *Edit_2: I'm sorry if you felt hurt, it was not my intention! Edited March 8, 2013 by myselfidem Quote
Legolash2o Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 I have only pre-programmed it if the wim path contains a "sources" folder in the wim file path. Quote
