Rhor Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Greetings.I can't find any answer to this question. Probably I'm missing a command.The size of "install.wim" always increase after I mount it with DISM and then unmount it including the command "/commit", but what I cannot understand is the reason of that change in size since I make very small changes (like creating a shortcut), it is not like I'm copying big files to the image.The last increase went from 2.79 GB to 2.80 GB when I TOOK OUT files from the image.Any answers will be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

ricktendo Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yea IDK either, what I do is I re-export it and it will shrink back again (I suspect it has to do with the folder called \[Files])I do the same to boot.wim, export both images in the exact order to a new boot.wim to gain 3 MB imagex /compress maximum /export \se7en\sources\boot.wim 1 \exported\boot.wim & imagex /compress maximum /export \se7en\sources\boot.wim 2 \exported\boot.wim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhor Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thank you for both responses.It was pretty weird for me to see that increase in size, I was worried that I was doing something wrong.I will try to use vLite to rebuild the image.I haven't used imagex at all, it's hard to keep up with all the tools, but I have to.Thank you again Ricktendo and Kelsenellenelvian.
