Question
Thursday, June 22, 2017 7:04 PM
I need to DL the latest W10 ISO for my flat install. I use DISM to add drivers, enable/disable features and add the latest update. The media creation tool creates an ISO with an Install.esd file which is not usable with DISM. I am willing to convert the .esd to .wim if MS offers an official converter. Thanks for any suggestions. Enjoy, John.

Hi johnhc2,
The iso downloaded with the Media creation tool is a .esd format.
We could try the "dism" command line to convert it to .wim. For example:
dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:C:\1\install.esd /DestinationImageFile:C:\1\install.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity
If you are a volume license cumtomer, we could try to download the iso from MSDN subscriber. The image downloaded there is a install.wim format.

Anyway, I will try to submit a need for this issue on my side. You could try to submit the need with the "Feedback" hub.
Best regards

Thanks, MeipoXu. I will try your suggestion then try mounting the image. I will reply again with my success. I have no VLC. I have found only third part converters in the past.
Thanks and enjoy, John.

MeipoXu, I tried the export with many errors in my cmd file, but even after I got them corrected it continued to fail with error 87. I found this link: https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/125905-change-esd-to-wim and added /SourceIndex:1 and it completed successfully. But I could not find the install.wim file. I will continue to explore and post my results. Thanks and enjoy, John.
EDIT: I found the install.wim file. My AV had "Contained" my cmd file, so the output was placed in a virtualized folder. I am running it again to see I have convinced it to quit.
EDIT, again: Created the install.wim file, deleted the .esd, created a Hyper-V machine and installed W10 using the new Install.wim. I have not tried mounting it.
EDIT: Mounts and processes fine in dism. Installed the resulting ISO on a VM and it runs fine.
