wim image incompatible with WDS. Lack of information in XML.

Post by steemandlinux »

WDS requires the XML information from a wimfile.
A wimlib captured wim is missing most of them, so the wim file is not accept.

Hi,

This is a known limitation; wimlib does not yet fill in Windows-specific information in the XML document.

You may, however, may use of the --flags argument to 'wimcapture' to set a value in the <FLAGS> element, which (I think) is all that WDS looks for.

I've implemented setting of Windows-specific XML information in wimlib-1.9.0-BETA3. It will automatically fill in this information when capturing a new image. This should address the WDS incompatibility.
