Borja Zunzu Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hello, i'm trying to modify my windows 8 installation with wintoolkit but i can't load the windows files, i follow all the steps (browse/browse for dvd/folder) and select the correct folder but I receive the following message:" this does not seem to be a valid windows installation DVD, please make sure that the folder you select has 'sources/install.wim in it"The windows 8 iso is a correct copy and i extracted it with winrar into a folder. what can i do? is wintoolkit compatible with windows 8? thanksborja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legolash2o Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 apparently install.esd's are encrypted and i'm not sure if there is a way to make them into a normal install.wim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bay12 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi guys,i've used wintoolkit to slim down a windows 8 image with succes but i noticed a strange behavior: If i chose to delete natural language (in all in one integrator section) everything works ok, but in a second moment when i try to integrate the update: Windows8-RT-KB2769165-x64 manually with this dism command: Dism.exe /image:WIN8 /Add-Package /PackagePath:updates i receive an error and the update can't be applied. if i don't delete natural language, applying the same update success. So, the problem is in the natural language component remover. did someone had the same problem? any tips on how to solve the problem? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
