wimlib

for 6 and 7 it's useless because all files will be already compressed with lzx? Will they stay compressed when changed? Does it work for newly created files?

Hi JFX, Nice to see you here. So to clarify the steps, after downloading the driver with your tool: 1) I add the wofadk driver to system32\drivers and add the .reg file. 2) I add the conf given above to \System32\WimBootCompress.ini.
