I am at my wits end, I have been trying to fix my hp pavillion g6, windows 8.1 for 2 months. I have tried everything. I just created an installation media and converted install.esd to install.wim & saved to c:. Now what do I do? Please help me.

I have done the all the dism things I could find to do. Rrestorehealth says it can't fix. I have tried to read the cbs & dism log files, but I can't make too much sense out of any of it. Can't use system restore because of virus that got onto my computer.

Again, please help. Thanking you in advance, Kate.

RECOMMENDED: was the first version of Windows to let users in a few mouse clicks with the help of Upgrade Assistant. The even let users and bootable DVD/USB out of the downloaded installation files. Those of you used Upgrade Assistant to download and create your Windows 10/8 installation media probably have noticed that it includes a file named install.esd instead of the familiar install.wim file that we use to customize Windows setup by including new drives, themes and applications. While most PC users will never need to touch this install.esd file and both install.wim and install.esd are essentially the same, those of you want to customize Windows setup have to convert the install.esd to install.wim first as most of the setup customization tools out there don’t support install.esd for now.

Even though it was possible to convert install.esd to install.wim, it was not an easier task to do. One had to download and install Windows ADK or take the help of virtualization software in order convert an install.esd to install.wim.

Convert install.wim to install.esd and vice versa Luckily, the developer behind software has released another handy tool called Wim Converter. As the name suggests, it lets you easily convert install.esd files to install.wim or vice versa with a few mouse clicks. The GUI of WinReducer Wim Converter isn’t as hard as WinReducer. Upon launching the utility, it will download and Setacl.exe files that are critical for its operation.

After that, you just need to browse to your install.esd or install.wim, select the edition of Windows and click the Convert button to begin the conversion process. Once it’s done with its business, “Your command has been executed successfully” message appears on the screen. Before you download this software, make sure that.Net Framework 4.5.1 in order to run this software. Note that WinReducer Wim Converter can’t be used to convert install.wim or install.esd located in a mounted ISO file. That is, if you want to convert install.wim to install.esd or vice versa located in an ISO file, please extract the ISO file to a safe location first before attempting to convert install.esd or install.wim as you might end up with an error. @admin First off, I already have 7-zip installed and yet it keeps trying to force me to download and install it again.

On top of that, if you click on the? Mark at the bottom, the page it takes you to says you have to download and install; 5) Activate (put on “ON”): “7zip”, “ImageX”, “oscdimg”, “ResHacker”, “SetACL”, “Default GUI Theme” and “Official Windows Theme”; Any program that forces you to re-install stuff that is already installed, is, IMHO, not something I would trust as it is either an attempt at malware or some really poor attempt at coding to not be able to verify previous installation of other ‘dependent’ programs. Btrieve Clientele. @JW0914 Thank you very much for those commands.

• JW0914 says. ESD2WIM-WIM2ESD is a far better alternative it was written by a windows developer and requires no non-windows system files. It uses DISM along with a command script to efficiently convert one to the other. In case anyone is not aware, any windows version with Windows AIK (7 and back) or ADK (8 and forward) can convert one to the other what the ESD2WIM-WIM2ESD.cmd does is efficiently convert the images by only utilizing ~50% of RAM vs using the command via DISM using ~95% of RAM.

The command to convert ESD to WIM: dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:”%WIMFILE%” /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:install.wim /compress:recovery /CheckIntegrity And to convert WIM to ESD: dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:”%WIMFILE%” /Sourceindex:1 /destinationimagefile:install.esd /compress:recovery /checkintegrity • admin says.

Hi, I download Windows Pro 8.1 x64 from MS site and tried to convert install.ESD to wim. It completed successfully but DISM cant mount the wim file and setup fails with error 0x800003. When I do dism /get-wiminfo, it errors with 'illegal characters in image name'.

I looked at it and it appears to have illegal / extra chars in the image name. Whats visible is 'Windows Pro 8.1 ( en-us)'. There appears to be extra chars that are invisible in the parenthesis. Any ideas how this occurred and how to correct. Hey, No this is not expected, but I pretty sure that's not 'Wim Converter'. It should be DISM x64 which requires many computer resources to achieve the files conversion.

Are you sure that your system is up to date (with latest update), or have you disable the paging file (an orange information is available in Wim Converter if you disabled it)? This could also be another software you have installed in your computer.

I've found a 'tom's hardware' discussion about this trouble: [You must be and to see this link.] Maybe this helps. ^^ Hi, It could be the DISM itself using all the memory. It just seems strange because in the previous versions, only about 2 GB was used. It's all right for a program to use as much memory as possible, if it speeds up the conversion.

I'm just hoping that it is not simply due to a memory leak, either in 'Wim converter' or in DISM. My system is fully up to date, and I enabled paging file (set manually to 4 GB). I don't think the discussion on 'Tom's hardware' is about the same issue. Anyway, I'll let you know when I use the tool again. I can't try it for a week, since I have to use my machine for a few other programs in the meantime.
