wimlib 1.14.2 released

I've released wimlib 1.14.2: Fixed a bug introduced in v1.14.0 where a crash would sometimes occur if a Delphi application or Visual Studio compiled application called into the 32-bit x86 build of the library. Fixed an issue where some WIM images written by wimlib weren't accepted by some MS softwar...

Re: Using wimlib add WinRE.wim to install.wim

> Does wimlib have a way to intervene and force Windows\system32\Licenses to be placed in the first part of WIM?

No.

I think the answer here is just "don't use a split WIM".

Re: How can I contribute?

As mentioned on the main page, you can open a pull request at https://github.com/ebiggers/wimlib. Regarding "apply the xattr of NTFS while mounted as ntfs-3g", are you talking about the directory extraction mode, or are you talking about the NTFS volume extraction mode? (Refer to the wimap...

Re: Using wimlib add WinRE.wim to install.wim

Under normal circumstances, the two files should be the same size. Because install.wim is through lzx:20 rebuild. Your install.wim is larger than wimlib lzx:50, which is the default, but smaller than lzx:20. So probably it was compressed with DISM. Note that even if you used wimlib-imagex to update...

Re: Using wimlib add WinRE.wim to install.wim

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=8fddc3329891bb2dbff1ef2bd6ee65b83e40555...

Re: Using wimlib add WinRE.wim to install.wim

Hi, I've figured out what the problem is. I need to do some more testing and I'll probably post a new BETA tomorrow.

Re: Using wimlib add WinRE.wim to install.wim

So it sounds like the Windows 8 installer doesn't work with a split WIM. That is a separate problem that I can't do anything about.

Re: Using wimlib add WinRE.wim to install.wim

I'll try to reproduce the problem using that ISO when I have a chance. Thanks.

Re: Using wimlib add WinRE.wim to install.wim

BTW, though wimlib does aim to be fully compatible with Microsoft's WIM software (WIMGAPI), it's maybe worth mentioning Microsoft's support policy on Windows 8: Support for RTM editions of Windows 8 ended on January 12, 2016, and with the exception of Windows Embedded 8 Standard users, all users are...

Re: Using wimlib add WinRE.wim to install.wim

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 becaus...
