    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?

    create a flash drive for windows 10 with .wim format

    Hi again Peter -

    The .wim is already in Sources folder in the bootable flash create by MCT. If you want to change it you can even swap in your customized .wim. More here:

    You can browse into it to supplement DISM. The full steps for providing an image source to DISM are in Step 10 of this checklist:

    I hope this helps more.

    create a flash drive for windows 10 with .wim format

    AS you know DISM will work better with .WIM than .ESD.

    If I can create a flash drive as .WIM I can fully utilize the DISM commands.

    I would ask you disregard the term deploy and instead refer to create the flash drive as .WIM.
