Integration updates increased image size


Recommended Posts

Hi.

I have Windows 7 All Version x86 i x64 on my private once DVD. Size is 3,55 GB.

I integrated all updates to January 2011. I used DISM with bat file:


@echo off
title .:: UPDATES ::.
start /wait c:\Windows\system32\DISM.exe /image:d:\dismtool\wim /add-package /packagepath:d:\dismtool\updates

After this ISO have... 4,77 GB and is too big for DVD.

I have questions:

Why after integration size is bigger? Old files should be overwritten by new and size should be comparable. What now?

You can remove the older versions of the same KB, but when you dismount its not compressed and you have alots of space just like on your harddrive. Just exporting all images to a new *.wim will save you space and decrease the size.

But how to do this? I mount install.wim and where are older versions of the same KB?

Newer version of the same KB might be:

Old: KB12345.exe

New: KB12345-V2.exe

Im 99% sure you can skip integrateing the old.. And its just like Tripredacus wrote, you probably have several images in that install.wim
