wimlib

As far as I know, the old WIM format was only used in Vista pre-releases. This is the first time anyone has asked for it. So I don't think it's important to add support for it.

For each "wimjoin" command there is a corresponding "wimexport" command that basically does the same thing. It doesn't matter which you use. The output file will be newly created, so "wimoptimize" won't remove any holes from it as they won't be any. However, if you use "wimoptimize" to recompress th...

wimlib doesn't support splitting solid WIMs, a.k.a. ESD files.

Microsoft's software doesn't support LZX chunk sizes other than 32k. The support for LZX chunks up to 2M is a wimlib-specific feature. (At least, last I checked. It's been a few years since I last checked this.)

The Linux build of wimlib doesn't recognize NTFS metadata if you pass it a directory on a filesystem that was mounted with NTFS-3G. It only recognizes NTFS metadata if you build it with libntfs-3g support and provide it an NTFS filesystem's raw block device.

Make sure that you've installed the ntfs-3g-devel package for your operating system, not just the ntfs-3g package.

I am not able to download the source code; the file is empty.

Fixed now, sorry!

Sorry, I missed this post. wimlib-imagex.exe is just linked to libwim-15.dll in the standard way. I.e., it doesn't use LoadLibrary(). Therefore the DLL search order is just the standard way for Windows: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dlls/dynamic-link-library-search-order#standard-se...
