When building win7pe se looks like regardless of other settings that the vista imageex is used for compressing the files to wim.

Build\0-preconfig.script

If,%ExtractWimFolder%,Equal,Yes,Begin
  Set,%WIMDriver%,Wimfltr
  IniWrite,%projectdir%\script.project,IniVariables,WIMDriver,%WIMDriver%

On win8 x64 this version is 4 times slower doing the compression than the win 8 6.2.9200 version of imagex ( 4 minutes versus 30 seconds ). Can win7pe se be changed to support the use of win 8 adk files on win8?

Hi paraglider,

ChrisR is currently on holidays with his family. I assume he will get back to you with an answer about this when he returns.

Regards,
Galapo.

Hi paraglider,
Finished the holiday  :skiing:

As you saw in the case of extracts wim folders, I forced the use of wimfltr driver faster for the debug scripts (mount, Regedit).
but with the new Target image folder, it is not so necessary.

In a first step, I changed the script to use the config done in image configuration, wimfltr or wimmount (6.1).
* 0-preconfig.7z (223.97 kB - downloaded 141 times.)
Told me what it gave for you when capturing.

It seems indeed a good idea to provide the choice also for the win 8 files.
but requires more development and testing (imagex, wimgapi 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 - wimmount6.1, 6.2 ...)
I will look when I have some free time  :wink:

Thanks. That worked ( I manually copy the win 8 imagex.exe and wimgapi.dll to the tools folder ).
