Dealing with WIM files...?

[spinjector]

I'm finally getting around to dealing with WIM files, and frankly, using Imagex.exe is absolutely retarded. Leave it to MS to make it as difficult as possible.

Are there any GUI programs for working with WIM files?

Do any of the common archiver programs like WinImage, WinRar, or WinAce work with them?

GimageX in the only one I've seen. I use ImageX via command line and love it. Nothing else out there like ImageX.

7-zip can open (read only) .wim files.

Besides imageX there is the newish DISM that comes with Windows 7.

And the GUI Dism tool by MrJinje:

psc over at boot-land has created also a small program to use some files you can find in the Windows 7 DVD (without needing the WAIK):

and I put together a couple of batches to have access to wims from XP, but these latters are ONLY Command Line.

Once th eWIM i smounted you can of course use any normal tool.
