[ANSWERED] Win Converter for Windows 7

The Software area say that this Tools apply only for 10 or 8.x.

Does that mean that it cannot be used on install.esd coming from a Win7.iso?

Thanks for the help

Hello,

No that means that you need, as installed system, Windows 10 or 8.1 ! But you could use all esd files you want.

I will improve this soon in v2.00 ...

Just fine thanks

Hello,

Just take care that it will not support encrypt esd files, and there will be a new version 2.00 coming in the next days, with many improvements and a new GUI to support more options and systems ...

Hey,

Just to confirm that "WinReducer Wim Converter - v2.00" will be available really soon !

Cheers.

Hello,

v2.00 is available for Lifetime VIP Edition users today, and will be availbale for all users in less than one week : Monday 12 January 2015 !

Have a good day !

1.Why doc is saying that the 2.0x version is not available for converting 8.0?

2.Is it definituve that esd to Wim will not be available for 8.0 and 7.0?

Thanks for the good work

Hey Jpm,

1) Could you please develop a little bit more, I'm not sure to understand what you have in mind, thanks !

2) For the moment yes, until new evolution in the future ...

about 1.
It was an impression reading some post in the forum. Just forget.

about 2.
as I have only a 8.0 with esd that I can install with the key I have I will be glad to have it "WinReduce".
Future is not a problem for a "retired" man as I am ...
If I can integrate 8.1 that will be more than "great" but that's perhaps just what MS as really well locked ...

1) OK, thanks for the clarifications !

2) I need to do some tests for solutions I have in mind. So I need some times to apply them ...

about 1;
I found it the tutorial can be improve saying
instead of
==> AVAILABLE OPTIONS
- For Windows 7 :

to
==> AVAILABLE OPTIONS WHEN RUNNING UNDER
- For Windows 7 :






Cheers

Hey Jpm,

Thanks for the idea, and it's done ...

Have a good day !

Wrong detection: I selected Windows 7 Install.wim, also WIM>ESD. It says: Your operating system is compatible with ESD conversion.
> What this mean? It tells about installed Windows or its about selected wim? What it is possible to convert Windows 7 install.wim to install.esd with WR ES-WIM Converter? And it will work?

As far as I've heard, one needs a Windows 8 or later boot environment for installing Win 7 with an installation media containing ESD. The other thing I've heard is that using such environments breaks AutoUnattended.xml file. I don't know how accurate this is. From my experience, the wim was succesfully converted into esd. But the installation complained about a missing WIM file.

Hello,

Yes sometimes ago, one member has talked about this solution, unfortunately I'm not supporting this kind of solution because this is not an official solution .... but this can't prevent you to try and report on the forum if you find a valid solution

About the unattended file, maybe integrating the xml file directly in your ISO, using dism, should be helpful ... and yes, yes this is a WinReducer option idea I will add in the future
