    .esd does work without .wim


    Can use DISM for .ESD (windows is compressed) repair below without converting to .WIM:
    Run as admin & fix # of OS and letter of installation flash drive:
    ! Be sure to use the right Drive letter so likely replace the E.

    1-insert OS flashdrive,2- copy 1st string to Word doc if letter not same as your flash; otherwise just run to see number, 3-change the letter of OS flash if necessary, in Word then 4-copy corrected string and paste into cmd as admin. 5-when know letter and number = run second string
    Get OS # with 1st string = dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:E:\sources\install.esd

    2nd string Get DISM fix for .ESD from flash drive = Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\Sources\Install.esd:6 /limitaccess

    >>The reason I posted this is b/c it seems so many are looking to use .wim since the 1903 version which is .esd.
    I was trying to help by showing you do not have to use .Wim.

    :)

    Iso, esd or wim?


    And Image-Health does all of the suggested above..
    finds the source Install.*** > supports the use of .esd or .wim
    clears the log..
    runs the proper dism commands..

    All you have to do > is select the option to run...

    But, the techbench ISO with an Install.wim - is the preferred source................

    Many people have reported that DISM will not use the .ESD file contained in the Media Creation Tool ISO file and had to download the ISO from Tech Bench containing the .WIM file, so I always suggest just going to Tech Bench first.

    .esd does work without .wim

    DISM, Export WIM>ESD (recovery) > Crashes (0x80070008)

    That worked miracles, thanks for the solution for WinPE.

    Makes me wonder, if the ScratchDir could be located in ramdrive like extending the PE WIM or using 3rd party solutions to have that ~1024MB. Assuming ScratchDir being written same time at same drive where WIM is read and ESD is written causes quite some
    IO loss. RAM/Memory would be way faster solution.

    -edit-

    Hmm, didn't know there was a command for this already. Here's first example:

    Stupid me for not reading a bit about subject first.
