wimlib-1.9.0-windows-x86_64 on WinXP SP2 64-bit
I am trying to capture the partition from the VMDK disk that is mounted with VBOOT on Z: letter:
Code: Select all
wimcapture z: install.wim "Windows" "Captured using wimlib" --compress=LZX:100 --flags "Professional"
The capture stops after a several percent without any error or not start capture.

In the attachment of the WinRAR SFX archive
vboot_x64.exe (delete .zip) that extract files to
C:\Program Files\vboot and adds to the registry the entry:
Code: Select all
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\vboot\shell\Unmount\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\vboot\\vbootctl.exe\" umount \"%1\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\vboot\shell\Mount\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\vboot\\vbootctl.exe\" mount \"%1\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vhd]
@="vboot"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vmdk]
@="vboot"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.img]
@="vboot"
Thanks to this, VMDK files can be mounted from the context menu:

If instead of
vboot I mount a VMDK disk in VMware - menu
File > Map Virtual Disks... the capturing works OK:
