    Windows cannot open the required file D:\Sources\install.wim


    I have Windows 10 media on a flash drive,and I was going to load it onto my other laptop that had no OS on it. I got to a screen that had said "Setup is Starting". Then, a box popped up saying," Windows cannot open the required file D:\Sources\install.wim. Make sure all files required for installation are available", I checked and the file is there, but I can't continue with the installation. What do I do?

    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?

    Open .wim files on Windows 10

    I have Windows 10 on my HP Pavilion All-In-One. Had some issues and needed to reset to factory settings. Before I reset everything I ran a Backup on my Toshiba external hard drive in removable storage D:

    How do I open these files now on my hard drive? They are listed as .wim files. If I double click and attempt to open OR right click and select Open With, it tells me to open with an app from the app store. I actually downloaded an app, "Extractor RT" which
    did not work.

    How do I open these .wim files?

    The only posts I could find on this are for Windows 7 or earlier and do not apply to my situation or setup. Help please! There are some files I need in particular that are in excel, powerpoint and word.

    Thank you.
