Title: DCSUnpack
Post by: was_JFX on March 14, 2019, 03:12:00 PM
Not really a replacement for SXSEXP (https://github.com/hfiref0x/SXSEXP), but properly useful for Windows 7 users.

Make sure libwim-15.dll is next to it.

DCSUnpack (http://jfx.cwcodes.net/DCSUnpack.zip)

Hi JFX,

 :celebrate: :yahoo:

Good feedback to Win7 which you haven't used that in years now  :wink:

Since I lost my test file, a little question,
 Does DCSUnpack works with the same behaviour : expand or copy
-->
If file compressed -> expand
If file not compressed -> copy
?

There is no way to be sure a files is uncompressed (we already count 7 different formats in WinSxS folder).
So no copy for uncompressed.

%Errorlevel% is set to 1 if succeed.
2 if error using wimlib or no file read access.
And 3, if the file is not a DCS compressed one.

Hi JFX,

During your researches,
Have you notice any compressed file under \Driver\ folder ?

Nope, these compressions are only part of the component store (WinSxS folder).
