ImageX - Mounted but cant edit

[Markus1234]

Quick question, ive mounted my install.wim with imagex such as

imagex.exe /mountrw J:\win7dvd\sources\install.wim 1 J:\mount

(ive just left ULTIMATE, so #1).

But i cant modify any files in the mounted dir.

Says need at least Trusted Installer rights. I dont want to gain them since it might gets supplied to the result ...

Any hints? Using actually WAIK, Win7 Image without SP1.

To service Windows 7 images, you should be using DISM. Using Imagex as the primary mounting program is deprecated. Also make sure you run your WinPE Tools Command Prompt as Administrator.

the same rules apply like on a normal Windows. The security settings still work and modifying the system files requires that you have the required permissions. So take ownership if you want to edit them.

Thanks mate, but how can i unmount over dism? Thers no entry in help.

@MagicAndre1981

Wouldnt any ownership affect the image after unmounting for later usage?

Im using Admin account only to work with WAIK.

Edit: Also didnt worked with dism.

Error while taking over rights .. Ill try it again later, meanwhile i need to test my wim.

DISM /MOUNT-WIM /WIMFILE:d:\images\install.wim /INDEX:1 /MOUNTDIR: C:\winpe_x86\mount

to unmount...

DISM /UNMOUNT-WIM /MOUNTDIR:c:\winpe_x86\mount /COMMIT

or /DISCARD if you make a mistake.
