Hey,

everytimes i get an error trying to discard an image. While it does not matter which image I use.



here is my log, generated with Win Toolkit lastest version

ErrType: Error
Description: Error trying to discard image

IMAGEX /UNMOUNT [/COMMIT] [image_path]
Unmounts a WIM image from the specified path.
image_path - The path to be unmounted.
Without FLAGS:
Lists mounted images.
Accepted FLAGS:
/COMMIT
Saves changes to the mounted WIM file. If not specified changes are discarded.
Example:
imagex /unmount /commit c:\mounted_images

Note! I work with Win7 x64. What`s wrong here? Also Files and folders are not in use!
When i use imagex arguments, my image will discard correct, but it is not possible when i trying Win Toolkit

Thx for helping

I'm guessing it's Vista you've mounted, unfortunately i don't have a copy to test it with. I will check the code to see what's going on.

I've received logs in the past about this issue, it seems to always be the boot.wim?

[Wonneproppen]

Thx for your reply

It does not matter what boot.wim using.
further i updated my waik with latest sp1 and also here the same issue. i`m not able to discarding a boot.wim (sp1), neither this nor other

[Legolash2o]

I meant it's always boot.wim and not install.wim?

Have your tried SP2?
What Windows is currently installed on your machine?

[Wonneproppen]

Sorry for my mistake. It`s seems to be ok when i use an install.wim. Tested with install.wim from Win8 RC

Currently i work with Win7 x64 SP1 and WAIK Win7 SP1

I've made a few changes so hopefully that will help, but more importantly i've made some enhancements to the error and it should now show the new error box which shows you a lot more information without filling up the screen. When i release v24 please test this again and attach the log. Thanks.

Great work Legolash2o. By the time i´m able to discarding all boot.wim`s which previously did not work.
You make my day

[Legolash2o]

It's fixed? Wasn't expecting that, thanks

Damn, on my Notebook Win7 x64 Win Toolkit works fine, also on another Devices. Only exception on my big Workstation Core I5 Win7 x64 Win Toolkit wan`t work.
Up on Outpost Security 7.1 Free i have allways the same programs installed as on my another PC`s. Anything prevents me from that Win Toolkit can works correct.

It is possible to cleanup all wim filters e.g. also to cleanup all filters in my registry?

[Legolash2o]

It already checks for WIM Filters when loading WinToolkit.

[Wonneproppen]

Hmmm very strange.
I`m using GImageX v 2.0.17 for mounting & discarding every BOOT.WIM File. No Problems

Only with Win7 Toolkit i have this problems, so, but the error must be at Win7 Toolkit. I`m already in despair

[Legolash2o]

Are you still experiencing this error?
