    Adding Custom system files to the install.wim file.


    Is there a way using DISM to add/overwrite system files in the system resource folder in the install.wim file in the iso. So that when i install windows my custom icons for folders and drives are already installed along with the .reg files to show the drive icons.

    Compacting a wim file?

    Sorry, no idea where to put this. I just recently learned how to use dism. I use it to slipstream all hotfixes and ie10 ect into an AIO install disc. The problem is, it creates a huge install.wim after 8 index mounts and slipstreams. Considering all 8 images use the same darn wim and files, don't know why it has to increase the wim size by 1gig. Either I need to figure out how to use the same wim.install file for all indexes, or I need to compact the wim file which is now 4gbs with ie10 and all updates to April. Any way to do either?

    Actually it turns out the answer is the dism that comes with Win8. Using the new Export-Image command, and a simple batch file, was able to compress my AIO wim by several hundred mbs.

    Hi,

    The WIM file format is almost the same as ISO files which is an image of a disc. These file types are usually opened by 3rd-party software which will enable your computer to mount the disk image for installation. Your question on how to install it is best
    suited to be asked on Microsoft TechNet website. Nevertheless, we found a solution thread for you. To further assist you with your concern, we recommend you to visit the link provided:
