Ok, found out why (Torrentus) boot.wim was broken.

Missing license files (must be important)
I added back the original files into

   sources\License\_default\_Default\

BINGO, it worked  Smile

This might only help the en-US people, but it's a start.

yes you did ok

but the output should be some hundred lines long

maybe you could translate whats in the output.txt?

Just out of interest.

I've just discovered that you don't even have to mount/commit/unmount a .wim file to make changes.  I opened the boot.wim file in 7-zip, removed files/added files and the changes were applied!!  Shocked

"Interesting, Mr Bond!"

Oh! Thank you! Now try ... Smile

so i saw now you used this command:

dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\dism\iso\boot.wim /index:1 /mountdir:c:\bootwim\offline

index:1 is Microsoft Windows PE (x64) i normally delete this index because i dont use it

try to change the index to 2



dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\dism\iso\boot.wim /index:2 /mountdir:c:\bootwim\offline


and it should work. i think some files wount be deleted becaue you need to take ownership of them, also i saw you use windows 8(.1) and i didnt test it on win8(.1)

also i saw you didnt use the "winsxs folder cleanup" at winreducer so your boot.wim wount be much smaller

so im thinking of making a video tutorial.
and also i will reupload the Root.bat in which i will remove all lines that remove drivers (because other people could need them)

Ok, this might work.  Torrentus has probably got something like this which he used to make his boot.wim in the first place, but I had to work out what was different from an original boot.wim and the micro boot.wim

So, grab these two files   (CLICK ON FILENAMES TO DOWNLOAD)
remove_dirs.bat
remove_files.bat

Start a CMD prompt as an Administrator

Put a copy of your boot.wim file to the d:\ drive.  (You'll have to replace that reference if you don't use d:\ drive)
Before you mount your boot.wim, delete the first image inside (WinPE image - not the Windows Setup image)
something like....

Code:

dism /delete-image /imagefile:d:\boot.wim /name:"Microsoft Windows PE (x64)"


I'm using  D:\wimoffline  as my folder for mounting the image - you need to change the .bat files 2nd line to match your mounting directory.

save the two .bat files to the d:\  drive.  Like this...
d:\_remove_dirs.bat
d:\_remove_files.bat

Code:

cd /d D:\
mkdir d:\wimoffline
dism /mount-image /imagefile:d:\boot.wim /mountdir:d:\wimoffline /index:1
_remove_dirs.bat   >d:\output1.log

    check the output1.log file and stop here if you get lots of errors!

Code:

_remove_files.bat  >d:\output2.log

    check the output2.log file and stop here if you get lots of errors!

Assuming all is well, just make sure you're not inside the wimoffline folder and unmount the image with /commit

Code:

cd /d D:\
dism /unmount-image /mountdir:d:\wimoffline /commit
imagex /compress maximum /export d:\boot.wim  1  d:\boot-slim.wim


The boot-slim.wim file should be a lot smaller (below 50mb)
To use the boot-slim.wim file you would need to delete boot.wim and rename boot-slim.wim to boot.wim, then place that in your CD folder ready for burning.

Let me know how you get on.

Another little thing I've noticed...

If you open up a .wim file in 7-zip (I'm using version 9.30 x64)

you may see a [Files] folder
Slim down boot.wim - Page 2 12876511

I believe that folder is storing the changes you've made to the .wim file.
It is safe to delete the [Files] folder which should shrink you .wim file.

Updated scripts to try to adjust to your language.

Edit both script and change this top line to match your language

Code:

set varMyLang=en-US


for example, change it to become

Code:

set varMyLang=ru-RU


Scripts
1.  _remove_dirs.bat
2.  _remove_files.bat

Manifests

Clean your recycle bin!

Important!!! After you deleted the files from WinSXS folder, some files are now locked, (Lock Icon)
you need to unlock them or Windows Setup will not work! So check all folder and just delete all locked files, they will be now moved to your recycle bin. Go to your recycle bin and select all restore.
Now all files that were locked are now unlocked.

------------------------------------------------------


Finally switch back to GimageX, go to the Capture tab, point the mount folder as source and destination as your output where your final boot.wim will be created. 

Name = Microsoft Windows Setup (x64)
Description = Microsoft Windows Setup (x64)
Compression = Maximum
SKU Flag = Blank
Display Name = Microsoft Windows Setup (x64)
Display Desc. = Microsoft Windows Setup (x64)

Check Boot in Options and hit Create.

When it's captured, go to Mount tab and hit the Unmount. Replace your new boot.wim and make your ISO. You are finished!

@Torrentus, thanks for your tutorial

@Yuriy - I wonder if you have exported your image into a new one (this removes the 'memory' of the changes you've made to your .wim file.)
Another way to do it is, once you've made your changes using these scripts, commit and unmount the image and then open it in 7-zip.
You should see a folder [Files] remove that folder - the .wim file should then shrink!

First, change the language:
Slim down boot.wim - Page 2 <a href=Slim down boot.wim - Page 2 889238edb46c" />
then:
cd /d D:\
mkdir d:\wimoffline
dism /mount-image /imagefile:d:\boot.wim /mountdir:d:\wimoffline /index:1
_remove_dirs.bat   >d:\output1.log
_remove_files.bat  >d:\output2.log
Writes - Unable to find almost every item
Slim down boot.wim - Page 2 <a href=Slim down boot.wim - Page 2 B1cc21870c36" />
Next:
cd /d D:\
dism /unmount-image /mountdir:d:\wimoffline /commit
And that's what happened

@brittech

your batch files remove all keyboard files and also .nls files.

if someone from another country need one of these the installation will probably fail

Ok, Yuriy.

Let's find out what's happening.

Please could you mount your boot.wim file, as before, but this time I just want to capture a complete listing of the files within your boot.wim image.

so, when the image is mounted, from the cmd prompt, please type:

Code:

dir  /a  /ogn  /s   d:\wimoffline >image_list.txt


Thanks Very Happy
