May 14, 201313 yr According to the TechNet article "How to Split a Windows Image (.swm) File to Span Across Multiple DVDs": In Windows 8, Windows Setup does not support installing from split .wim files. However, you can use DISM to apply the image to the destination computer with the /Apply-Image option. The TechNet article 'Image Management Command-Line Options' shows the DISM command line options with examples. For this issue, the example shown is "Dism /apply-image /imagefile:install.swm/swmfile:install*.swm /index:1 /applydir:d:\" More helpful information about using DISM with Windows 8 can be found on the Deliver and Deploy Windows 8 page of the Springboard Series on TechNet.

May 15, 201313 yr You just need to put it in the sources folder. The other media discs only need a sources folder for the other images.

May 16, 201313 yr Windows 8 does NOT support this! Plain and simple....Official links were even provided.Besides the validity in the specific case , that is not a valid argument .If we start counting the things that along to "official" documentation were not possible, but that one way or the other someone managed to make happen.... jaclaz
May 16, 201313 yr Did you even read the replies to his post?Windows 8 does NOT support this! Plain and simple....Official links were even provided.I'd like to clarify what you say and compare to what WinOutreach4 posted. It is that Windows 8 Setup.exe does not support this. But a person could use Windows 8 DISM to do it instead.
