You need to be running Windows 7 or Windows 8 with UAC ON or OFF

A cascading menu to right click a .wim file to mount and do other things.
Win 7/Win 8 has Dism.exe included in System32 folder so no need for the WAIK to be installed. Unless you need the separate tools it is a 1.66 GB xml checker that gives errors
Note: You will need the WAIK if you want the IMAGEX options
You can download Imagex.exe and drop in system32 folder as part of Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows® 8
Get this 1.16mb adksetup.exe download and I just selected deployment tools. http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=30652
A plus to that is you don't need a 1GB + download, was 80mb installed here and includes WSIM for xml editing. - minus is you need .NET4 ;(
 ADKoptions.PNG (4.22K)
Number of downloads: 4

I set to C:\zMountDir where it will be at bottom of drive in windows explorer to find easier. You must edit this if Mount folder is somewhere else
NOTE: You really don't want a buried folder with blank spaces in it cause error can occur. Been there done that type of thing.

Cleanup + Delete zMountDir - On 64 bit I have had trouble dismount or mounting after a dismount. I use this to Dism /Cleanup-Wim and clean the registry then delete zMountDir. As long as it save's it is ok, just the dismount occasionally get's error. I have installed many times with no problems

now my right click on a .wim and will only be on any .wim

Create a C:\Drivers folder and add all your drivers extracted there under separate folders that include an .inf. You may edit that to D:\Drivers or whatever. Most OEM include a folder with all Driver's and they will be located here

Hi maxXPsoft,

i have one problem with the reg.

The DISM.exe need administrative rights. how can i give the dism.exe thuis rights for all time ?

Regard Mike

P.S.

And can you also make a "DeleteReg" witch delete the Reg entries ?

[maxXPsoft]

I think right now yes and yes but give me a little time
I have been running with uac off so I see your point. Will have to enable it and work it out

NOTICE: As of yet I have been unable to make this run with UAC turned on. I can do that with setacl but most probably not interested in doing that if they running UAC so I won't at this time.

Can't you check the box on DISM to run as admin?

[maxXPsoft]

Tripredacus, on 09 March 2011 - 09:21 AM, said:

You don't have that option with UAC on
I'm trying to do this programatically, like with a .reg.
Under UAC system32\dism.exe does not have FULL permissions with Admins and that's the holdup
Have tried 6 different things I have here on doing that. My program Se7en_UA run's with Admin privledges so I know there is a way. Setacl would probably be only way to give Full permissions to Admins

I am runnng without UAC because I keep a tight rein on my OS and have numerous restore options if I think something s wrong. Most don't have that so I didn't want to venture out and do that with setacl yet. I'm still looking because with anything Windows there is a way just have to figure it out.

Yes you can't set compatibility options with the DISM in the Windows folder because it is marked as "coming with the os"... However wouldn't your option still work if you set a pre-requisite that the user installs the WAIK, and then have it run the DISM that comes with the WAIK?

[maxXPsoft]

The whole idea behind this is not needing the waik unless they want imagex functions. A lot coming here are on dial-up and I know what that is. 1.6GB Waik uh no thanks. I realize some need it to do more advanced things and that's fine, a majority coming here just want to build an unattended dvd. All I need is the updated .chm files and there is a separate d/l link for those. May 2010 chm files

Everything working fine here with uac off. If your paranoid unplug the Inet cable and disable, reboot, build, restart it.

I'm starting to get many more ideas for this once I make updates work
