Windows 10: Needed: CMD to extract files from 'Winre.wim' using DISM?

Sorry to ask such a basic question.


I want to extract *.* from Winre.wim into CWD.


I've used DISM to extract .NET3.5 into a running system, but I don't want to change the system, so I'm unsure what the DISM arguments are. Also, I have some DISM documentation from Microsoft, but it's incomplete and I lost the URL to the rest... of course, the part I'm missing is Extraction.


I've searched but I get buried in hits regarding backing up and RESTOREHEALTH (of course).


I hope the wizards here who use DISM every day will help.


Warm Regards,

Mark.

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.

 

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?

 

How to get damn DISM to work?

Thx guys, I'll compress this data into a blog post. For all the so called guides I've read, not a single one mentioned it has to be WIM file (some listed even ESD which clearly doesn't work) or that certain ISO images don't work with DISM.

After I've done DISM thingie, SFC also managed to repair stuff. Which is what I've needed here.
