wimlib

Thanks!! I'll run a test sometime this week and report back. Feel free to keep that image for future testing/validation.

Sorry for the delay responding...life's been busy. So, there's still something going on with the capture and/or apply. From Linux Create 20480MiB Partition (sda1) Make partition active/bootable From Windows Install Win7 to 20480MiB Partition Just prior to the final step of the install, instead of le...

The metadata you most recently posted only shows the difference after a *capture* directly from a sysprepped filesystem, so an *apply* isn't in the picture at all, correct Correct, I only captured the image. Here is the diff you requested: diff-of-unpatched-and-patched-wimdir.zip I haven't tried to...

Ok...here it is Captured the metadata from the same pristine (never been booted) partition. First capture used wimlib 1.8.0. Second used wimlib 1.8.1 wiminfo --lookup-table DSS-Win7-32Bit-Base-captured-w-1.8.0.wim | head -n 7 Hash = 0x02d0421c0121c86b23fd15694b9c3ed0b541af8f Uncompressed size = 1358...

I'll do some more testing this week (kinda busy with some other things, but anxious for a fix so I'll make time) I'm not sure what I did when I sent you the files I must've taken the metadata from the wrong partition. I assure you most of my testing was NOT that sloppy. I think I may have rushed the...

Just to clarify: you captured a WIM image with wimlib v1.8.2-BETA2 and applied it with wimlib v1.8.0, and everything worked properly? That is correct. I captured the image w/ 1.8.2, deployed it w/ 1.8.2, that didn't work. So, on a whim, I downgraded wimlib to 1.8.0, deployed the same image (capture...

Not sure if this is helpful but I also did a capture (and apply) of the same filesystem with wimlib 1.8.0 and did a diff of it against the "pristine" partition also. /tmp/sdb3 is the "Pristine" copy /tmp/sdb1 is the wimlib 1.8.0 applied filesystem Here are the results: Only in /t...

Well, it's good to verify you're not crazy every so often...and I just have :-) Ran a "diff -qr" between the two partitions (/tmp/sdb3 is my "pristine" partition, /tmp/sdb4 was captured and restored with wimlib 1.8.2-BETA2) Here are results from the diff: Only in /tmp/sdb3: hiber...

This issue is continued from the comments section over at https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/wimlib So, I just tried to capture and deploy a Windows 7 image using wimlib 1.8.2-BETA2 Steps I've taken Installed Win 7 Sysprepped Win 7 Captured Win 7 using ntfsclone (To be able to quickly get back to a...
