Looking For A Script To......

Recommended Posts

Looking for a script I got here some time ago that will trim down an .iso. For example. Windows 10 1809 offers me 11 different versions when I boot from it. I just want it to offer 2. There was a script that would allow me to delete the ones I don't want and then it makes a new .iso with just my 2 selected flavors of Windows. Can you guide me to this or offer a download for same? Thanks.

Removing other editions from iso will not trim down its size (only few mb)

Install.wim have multiple streams inside which are sharing files between all editions.

So removing an edition will only remove its index entry alongside with some few specific files.

 

But if you only want to isolate your prefered edition (s) and see only those, you can do it easy way with MSMG Toolkit or even NTLite

DISM can do it perfectly too, but you have to install deployment tools first.

@Jordan ...Yes..All I want to do is trim down my list to Home & Pro being offered when you boot for a clean install. I'll try the easy way with MSMG Toolkit if I can find it.

- Open the ToolKit
- Choose (8) Tools -> (1) WIM Manager - > (3) Delete
- Enter the Index number to delete.
- Repeat Step 2 and 3 for removing all editions not required.
- Choose (6] -> (1) Rebuild Source Images

 

Export only the required edition (index) to a new image

- Open the ToolKit
- Choose (8) Tools -> (1) WIM Manager - > (4) Export
- Enter the Index Number to export.
- When asked "Do You Want to Export to New WIM Image ?", choose Yes.
- Enter the new Image name as Pro
- Go to ToolKit's <DVD\Sources> folder and delete install.wim file.
- Rename the Pro.wim file to install.wim

Update: I was able to do the NTLite program and made a successful .iso but I get the same message about not being able to determine if I have enough space I posted on the other thread

MSMG doesn't work at all. I choose to delete the entries I don't want..then I do next steps and all I get is incorrect paramente...Error 87..then it asks if I want to mount install.wim..I say yes and get above message. I followed your guide?????

Huih, deleting indices is nonsense :D .

 

Get the WIM info (what edition what index):

dism /English /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:"d:\wim\install.wim"

 

Just export the indices you need into new WIM:

dism /Export-Image /English /SourceImageFile:"d:\wim\install.wim" /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:"d:\wim\installnew.wim" /compress:max /CheckIntegrity

Adapt pathes and SourceIndex to your needs. Order of exports defines order in new WIM.

 

Rename installnew.wim to install.wim before inserting to new ISO.
