    Is WinRE.wim the same file as Install.wim


    Tried to run DISM offline under Windows 10 Recovery Enviroment. X:\windows\system32\
    My C drive change to D drive

    DISM /image*Biggrin:\ /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    but received error 0x800f081f (sources files could not be found).

    Is the WinRE.wim is the same file as Install.wim. Because I found the WinRe.wim file located in the hidden folder of c:\recovery\WindowsRE.

    or I still need to to extract the Install.wim from the install.esd file.

    TQ.

    :)

    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.

    wim file

    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:
