Extract the install.wim from the iso and point the script at the extracted install.wim.

 

Omg lol, this seems to be working. Thank you.

 

Mounting a WIM needs write access to it. For that reason it fails from the mounted ISO (read-only).

 

Does this work on an esd (like in from the mct downloaded iso) or do I need to convert it to wim?

 

Needs to be converted. ESD can only be applied.

 

Ahh okay, so I can convert to WIM, slipstream and convert back to ESD to save space on my USB drive?

 

Correct, that will work. NOTE: Especially WIM>ESD conversion is very resource hungry aka stability test .

 

In abbodis ESD<>WIM converter, what exactly does this do:
1 - Export 1st index
2 - Export all indexes
3 - Export single selected index
4 - Export consecutive range of indexes

Not sure what exactly this does, thanks.

 

I would always start with a clean install.wim (not re-update an already updated one), or are you using install.esd from the by the MCT created iso?

It does what it says:

1. only export the first index shown in the list.
2. export all indexes shown in the list
3. export a particular index you've selected
4. export particular indexes you've selected

 

It's only some choices if ESD has several indices (e.g. Pro and Home). You can check which index is what edition with:

Code:

dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:"path\to\your.wim"

 

The tool shows all indexes in that same window

 

Wasn't using it for a longer time. Then it should be self-explaining .

 

Code:

===============================================================================
                   Detected WIM file contains 5 indexes:

  1. "Windows 7 HomeBasic x64"
  2. "Windows 7 HomePremium x64"
  3. "Windows 7 Professional x64"
  4. "Windows 7 Ultimate x64"
  5. "Windows 7 Enterprise x64"
===============================================================================
                                  Options:
  0 - Quit
  1 - Export 1st index
  2 - Export all indexes
  3 - Export single selected index
  4 - Export consecutive range of indexes

the esd wim converter, which is better wimlib or dism?

 

As you like, afaik there's a marginal advantage of wimlib over dism regarding the resulting ESD size.

 

One last question, if I remove the Pro index with the converter will it activate properly when I install?
