wimlib

All right. Thank you for your answer.

I don't know what is going here, but one possibility is that Windows Setup only looks in the first WIM part for the license file. I tried those split commands myself, and I noticed that in the install_ESD.wim case some of the files in '/Windows/System32/Licenses' end up in the second WIM part inste...

wimlib was writing directory junctions (such as "\Documents and Settings" => "\Users") differently from DISM, and that caused the problem here. If you want the full details, see the fix commit https://wimlib.net/git/?p=wimlib;a=commitdiff;h=8fddc3329891bb2dbff1ef2bd6ee65b83e4055...

Wow, that's awesome. Looking forward to the beta version.
So, what exactly is the problem? I'm curious.

Indeed, the Windows 8.0 install.wim image is really weird.

About "wimlib-imagex split" command. I tested a total of 33 versions from v1.4.1 to v1.14.1. All with the same error, Software license terms not found. My SSD is going to die. The install.wim made with wimlib v1.8.0 is fine. But when splitting the image, not only wimlib, but even the wim c...

I'll try to reproduce the problem using that ISO when I have a chance. Thanks. By the way, download as soon as possible. This download link seems to be time-sensitive. You can also be found directly here. Hope to get good news soon. ;) https://os.click/en/Windows:Windows_8:NT_6.2:9200.16384:Multi-E...

You'd need to upload the full files to somewhere I can access, though. If I upload. you will need to download two files, the original and the unmodified. This can cause trouble for you. If you don't have the original ISO, you can use the link above to download and extract install.wim. A similar eff...

Thanks for bisecting the problem to between v1.8.0 and v1.8.1! Unfortunately I still don't know what to fix. There were actually a lot of changes between those versions. Also, this was over 8 years ago. You could try to bisect further, but you'd need to do your own builds, which would be hard becau...
