GImageX and WIMMaster - WIM Tools

[DigeratiPrime]

helpful tools for those working with WIM (Windows Imaging Format) files.

GImageX http://blogs.technet.com/richardsmith/arch...-available.aspx

* Native x86 and x64 versions entirely written in C++. Tiny ~100KB executable.

* Doesn’t use the imagex.exe utility at all – instead it uses the WIMGAPI interface (the wimgapi.dll file from the imagex directory)

* Progress bars, time elapsed, time remaining, file counts have been added

* Clean “abort” option

* Ability to mount, change and get info on WIM images

WIMMaster http://www.boot-land.net/forums/WIMMaster-t3001.html

I have just finished writing this program. It works like ImageX, but it is not a wrapper for that program. It was written in C and uses the Wimgapi library for its functionality.

My script includes the program in encoded form as well as some redistributable Microsoft files needed to make it work. You also need wimgapi.dll and wimfltr.sys which are included in the WAIK. The script will copy them from the WAIK if it is installed in your ProgramFiles folder.

If anyone would like to have the source code (should be useful if you are using wimgapi for the first time) or would like to have a BartPE plugin, I have put everything here for download.

Do tools like these or any others allow for the mounting of split wim files? SWM??

Nice find.

The GimageX link is dead though.

Post 6 here still has download links.

Thanks.
