Hi frineds

We all know WAIK is free available to deploy Windows Vista with full stuff; but its too big approx 900MB

I need imagex.exe command-line utility to mount WIM image.

Would U like to share some basic commands or docs from WAIK....Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

@Neo

imagex.exe requires some dll's to work. so does package manager. i'm not sure exactly which ones.

i though someone had posted these files in the vista update and feature packs (this topic is pinned). check it out, you might find it there.

check here for link to mytemp download. it may still work.

Use this mount your image with read write capability, be sure to alter the path & paste into your text editor a .cmd ext.

imagex /mountrw D:\Unattended\Vista\Vista2\sources\install.wim 1 D:\Unattended\Vista\Mount

Use this to commit & save etc, again alter paths as necessary.

imagex /unmount /commit D:\Unattended\Vista\Mount

If you are running XP make sure imagex.exe is in system 32 dir, or waik is installed.

The attached image shows the minimum tools reqd to do these tasks, the inf may need to be run first if using XP to build or alter files.

Let me know if you need these tools I may be able to upload somewhere?

I know every software has its own EULA and some conditions ............But I m not trying to do any Reverse Engg or etc.............just using for deploy for My Windows Vista Ultimate.

Even if imageex is freely available on the web - its still a MS tool that should not be redistributed. You get it by downloading the OPK /AIK from MS.

Thanks for sharing. I was in need of this yesterday and only had dialup access.

Downloading the full WAIK was not an option.

@ Paraglider: your concerns have been duely noted.

If any other MSFN users are looking for the ImageX utility separately from the WAIK,

I suggest you checkout this Imagex GUI.
