    Win 10 .WIM ISO copy


    Hello
    I was using Win 10 x 64 as .ESD but was advised to use .WIM.
    I burned a DVD from the .WIM file at Tech Bench.
    I then made a copy, however, the when you open the copy there is a folder called temporary burn folder. When you open it, it says what the original says.

    I have 3 questions;
    1- will this 'copy' install and repair, or should I burn another DVD?
    2- will the motherboard recognize this original .WIM ,with no keywords, as I did the upgrade then burned DVDs with other .ESD discs?
    3- please suggest how a low level user can burn a copy of another DVD, .WIM disc? I used Windows before.
    The attachments clarify what I am trying to say.

    :)

    Dreadful Windows Boot Manager message

    Based on Internet search "opencl.dll" being corrupt is common on Windows 10, even on non-Microsoft hardware. sfc on my SP4 returned this error too. There were numerous suggestions out there on how to fix this error. This one works for me. Proceed at own
    risk.

    Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 10 ISO image from

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench
    . Pick the version that matches your current installation.

    Step 2: Double-click the downloaded .ISO file. Windows will mount the .ISO file onto your D: drive. (Depending on your system, Windows may mount this on drive letter other than D:. Check File
    Explorer to be sure.).

    Step 3: Open a Command Window with Administrator privilege. Create a mount point.

    mkdir C:\WIM

    Step 4: Mount the WIM - assuming .ISO is mounted at D:

    Dism /Mount-Wim /WimFileWin 10 .WIM  ISO copy :D:\sources\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\WIM /ReadOnly

    Step 5: Run Dism with following parameters.

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\WIM\Windows /LimitAccess

    Step 6: When done, unmount the image and delete the folder.

    Dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:C:\WIM /Discard

    rmdir C:\WIM

    Step 7: Restart PC.

    Corrupt opencl.dll may not be the trigger to the Windows Boot Manager error I reported in this thread. But fixing corrupt system file is a good thing nonetheless.

    Win 10 .WIM ISO copy

    It looks to me like you just copied over the downloaded ISO file to DVD. That's not what you want to do. You want to make a DVD using the ISO file as the image. I don't have my Windows 10 computer in front of me right now, so I don't know if a right click on the ISO file and a menu option to make a DVD from the image is built in to Windows 10. I do know you can use IMGBURN to do it.
    The Official ImgBurn Website

    If you right click on the ISO file and select Mount - you will see the directory structure of the image that is contained within the ISO. When you burn a DVD from the ISO image (instead of just copying the ISO file itself over), you should get the same directory structure on the DVD. But to have the DVD bootable, you can't just copy files over - you have to use a process like IMGBURN to create the DVD from the image file.

    I agree with NavyLCDR but also observe that the free Rufus tool also builds a bootable USB flash drive for installation of Win10, and that you can also use Microsoft's own Media Creation Tool to do likewise.

    The question is specifically about creating a WIM-based installation media. Media Creation Tool will create a ESD-based media. Unless you are referring to some sort of trick with MCT, this is not what the OP needs.

    Thank you all.
    AndreyT
    You are right that I want a .WIM file. Would the best way to have a back up disc to go to the same site and do a seond download to burn seeing I am having trouble reproducing this disc? Any comments on ny other queries?

    Thank you - it worked. Can I install/repair without and keys and clip 'skip' when asked like I did with the other .ESD discs I had?

    same way..

    An install.esd is a super compressed version of the install.wim..

    install.wim and install.esd both contain the same information...

    the install.wim is preferred for any Dism Repair commands..

    I am so relieved. I did the upgrade so my motherboard recognizes me but I thought with this new .WIM I would have problem.
    Thank you very much once again.

    Sorry for the mention of MCT in that it is ESD based, but the Rufus approach works with whatever you give it, including wim-based ISO files. So I get a 50% right, not a complete reject, OK? --Ed--

    Win 10 .WIM ISO copy

    Hi Ed
    I have not used Rufus but I think I have deduced from reading in context that it is a way of using a flash drive to create media.
    No apologies ever needed as I have learned so much from all of you. I am 75 and have been quite ill so I am using the PC to keep me going in a positive way. I only began pc-ing a few years ago when things went south physically and this is a great way to feel productive again and to stay involved. My shrinking brain is coming alive. *Wink I learn from the good volunteers like yourself in forums. This is a great forum with extremely knowledgeable people. I am not much for social media but really enjoy learning various computer skills. I have folders into which I place information i have gathered that is either difficult or something one might forget.
    I never learned the spreadsheet and at this point really do not want to so I make use of file and folders.
    In the brief time I have been learning so much has developed; UEFI, USB 3, this new DISM measure etc.
    One really has to stay on their toes.
    Thanks once again for all of your help.
    Peter

    I would agree with you Ed, for what that's worth. The key difference is that, for most users (including myself), the path of least resistance for successful DISM /source repairs has been (per guidance from Kyhi and others over the last month or so) using the TechBench install.wim as the source rather than the MCT install.esd.

    Dear Peter:
    Your story is a good one, and shows that with some effort and elbow grease (mostly from holding your hands over the keyboard typing like mad) you can learn this stuff no matter how young or old you might be. I myself, at 63, am no "spring chicken," either. But it's fair to observe -- as the inestimable Word Man does in his reply -- that the .wim based TechBench stuff is more amenable to easy sourcing for DISM use, and I would definitely agree with that. Let me observe in that context that I've also had good luck capturing/copying the /WinSXS/ folder hierarchy from a known, good, working Win10 install (i.e. one that gets a clean bill of health from sfc /scannow and from DISM /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth) and using that as a source for DISM when all else fails.

    As for Rufus, it's my go-to tool when I have to build a bootable USB flash drive for installation purposes. I keep them around in numbers, one for each version of Windows (right now that means 7, 8, 8.1, and 10) that I have running, either on physical hardware or in a VM. It's a terrific and free tool available at Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way. If you haven't played with it yet, give it a try.

    Best wishes, and keep up the good work.
