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?

 

Compacting a wim file?

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.

 

Dism adding drivers/updates to Wim

I read about adding drivers to a wim and updates. Does adding a driver replace an existing driver in the wim or does it just put it in the driver folder and you have it as an option later to choose? IE: hp driver for touchpad version 1, and you want to add/replace it with version 2 like you do in device manager.. And can you install a program to a wim, not a MS program, but some freeware, like 7zip? So after deployment, it shows them installed. I use DISM but I have not added drivers or apps or updates, and want to know how it applies them to the wim, and if the system boots loading these new drivers, or finds them and then installs after boot, and are the apps preinstalled if you add new programs, and I assume adding an update, does indeed update the wim, like if you used windows update?
