Kelsenellenelvian Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 OK I previously mentioned my custom wim that has 33 versions of Win7 on it right?Being OCD I am still working on it. But I have run into a MAJOR snag.When I integrate a tiny addon the wim file size soars!!!Example:Before addon = .wim file size is 4.29 gigsAfter integrating the addon to all x86 (18 of them) parts my .wim size grows to 4.56 gigs. :o Addon size? 32.1kb WTH???I have a theory! Legolash when recapturing the wim (Or however it is done what compression level are you using? None, Fast or Maximum?Ideally while it is a bit slower you should set it to maximum. When I built my wim I max-compressed all images and I think that is where the issue is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Quick followupI am adding a second addon to the x86 parts that is less that 7kb. The file size is still growing...More follow-up.I am right.Proof?I exported an single image and used max compression. 1.90gigsAdded a single tiny addon 1.91gigsRe-exported the same image back to 1.90gigs.

Legolash2o Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) use vLite to "Rebuild All" once you have integrated the addons into all of them, i can add this feature in W7T too if you wish ("Image Rebuilder" or whatever name).
