wimlib

Hello,

I am new to the forum as I am new to wimlib. I'm loving this program so far!! I have a 600mb Win PE boot wim that I use to do a lot of my work in a "Virtual Windows" environment. I applied the wim to a folder to make some changes to some system file, and then used the capture command to put my new files into a wim, and the wim would not boot. I was able to add --boot option to the end of the capture command line, and my little wim booted fine.

I am having an issue getting a Win 7 or Win 10 wim to boot after I have applied with wimlib to a hard drive. I use this command to capture the WIM
and this command to apply the WIM
But after the apply command finishes, and I reboot the computer, and I get this error which was the same error I got on my little Win PE wim when it tried to boot before I did a capture using the --boot option.



Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hello,

After restoring the backup, did you try to recreate the BCD store in the WinPE environment?

Maybe I'm missing something but whats the point of capturing with the --boot switch on a normal system.

Isn't that meant only for PE wims and alike?

Code: Select all

bcdboot C:\Windows /s C:

This seemed to do the trick....thanks!!

I was just testing different options. The --boot option is not needed on what I was trying to do.
