GImageX v2.0.1 Beta (ImageX GUI)

[Jotnar]

From the guys who wrote GImageX. Here's a new and improved version written in C++.

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

This new version includes:

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

You'll need to download the WAIK to get the required wimgapi.dll.

Cheers

Good find Jotnar! Thanks for posting. This is the most complete native tool I have seen yet.

Nice work you have done.

I would have a request.

Can you add command line support which also supports that nice progressbar (Imagex.exe doesn't support)

It would be so nice to have a full featured command line wim tool.

15th Dec 2007 - v2.0.5 BETA

- Image selection screen was not working properly when an image did not contain both a name and description

Also I noticed the EULA is now non-Microsoft and now provides for distribution. You still can't distribute wimgapi.dll, but the main program gimagex.exe can be distributed as long as it comes with the EULA and the readme.txt file.

Cheers

Wow, very nice indeed. I tried to regsvr32 gimagex_com.dll, but I'm getting error in Finnish version of Vista. The error message is in finnish, so I assume you don't need it. I will try it tomorrow with Windows XP.

Here is the error message from event log:

I'll tried also on Windows XP, but same error occurs also there.

[Jotnar]

I see a reference to Microsoft.VC90.CRT in the error which means it was compiled with Visual Studio 2008. Maybe you need the Visual Studio 2008 C++ Redistributable installed to register the file?

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en

Just a guess. The author's email is in the readme.txt file and on the about page of the program. He could probably help you more than anyone here.

Cheers

[geezery]

Thanks it worked, but there might come a problem if I want to use that dll on the WinPE.

[Jotnar]

20th Dec 2007 - v2.0.7 BETA

GImageX:

- No changes.

GImageX COM:

- COM component no longer need Visual Studio runtimes installed. Oops!

Cheers

Very nice,

As Geezery said a cmd line switch's would be nice.

How about deltas on images?

[geezery]

There is even better features available now. Look at the new help file included. There is a com component which you can use directly from vbscript. I'm already porting my HTA to use that component instead of the robust command line imagex app.

P4antboy -> How can you make those delta files and how it really works?

I have found a nice binary differiantial open source tool that can make some sort of deltas. But is there a native support in wimgapi for the delta files?
