Windows 8.1 Winre Wim
In this tutorial you can find detailed instructions on how to extract install.esd file, in order to get the correct install.wim file, needed to repair Windows 10 or Windows 8/8.1 (Export Install.WIM from Install.ESD)Related article:.How to Convert install.esd to install.wim (Windows 10/8)1. From the Windows installation media, copy the install.esd file from the 'sources' folder (e.g. X:sourcesinstall.esd) to the root folder of drive C:.
Note:If you are using an ISO Image file, first mount it to Windows. If you are using Windows 8/8.1, then read this article. If you receive the ' Error 11. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format' after running the above command, change the /Compress argument.
from 'max' to 'fast' or to 'none' or to 'recovery'. The /Compress argument, the type of compression used for the initial capture operation.
The maximum option provides the best compression, but takes more time to capture the image. The fast option provides faster image compression, but the resulting files are larger than those compressed by using the maximumoption. This is also the default compression type that is used if you do not specify the argument. Use the recovery option to export push-button reset images. The resulting files are much smaller in size, which in turn, greatly reduce the amount of disk space needed for saving the push-button reset image on a recovery drive. The destination file must be specified with an.esd extension. The none option does not compress the captured image at all.7.
When the process is completed you should have the exported install.wim on the drive C: (C:install.wim).That's it!

Hi,I hope you still look at this site, as the last post I see here was a long time ago!I have spent a lot of time now (Days on and off!), trying to convert a windows 10 install.ESD file to an install.WIM file, so I can deploy Windows on a server, using WDS without luck.I have followed examples from several different sites Your example is the only one I have found that mentions the different compression formats e.g. Max, Fast, Recovery & None. I know the example says that the Recovery option has to have a.ESD extension but that is the only option that works (Although I give it the.WIM extension) without giving me the error '11 An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format' is the Recovery option but WDS reports that the file is either invalid or corrupt.I am now at a loss and am hoping for a response and a possible solution or explanation as to what I am possibly doing wrong!Thanks.lakonstMar 16, 2019 @10:12:03.
Make sure that you have set the correct Date/Time at the machine 2. Add the network drivers in the boot image. In WDS server's registry: Navigate to HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftSMSDP and change the RamDiskTFTPBlockSize value to 1456.Now try to boot againand if you receive the same problem.4. Open WDS At the left, right-click on your server and choose Properties Select the 'TFTP' tab and set the Maximum block size to 1024. Restart the WDS server and try to boot the machine again.kpalFeb 27, 2018 @00:31:47. Good Morning lakonst,Thanks again for prompt response.I did some research and did try '4. Open WDS At the left, right-click on your server and choose Properties Select the 'TFTP' tab and set the Maximum block size to 1024.
Restart the WDS server and try to boot the machine again.' Without luck. I also tried installing the Laptop directly with Windows-10 install DVD, which I hadn't previously! And I got the Windows Boot Manager Status 0xc0000260 I then released that maybe this Laptop just won't work with Win-10 as it is an old Dell, which I was using as a test machine to practice WDS imaging tools.If this is the case, I apologize for wasting your time:-/Graham.abduDec 13, 2017 @08:09:13. I've been trying to repair a WIndows 8.1 installation using DISM, which fails using the esd file, so I'm trying to extract that to a WIM file to use (I've read elsewhere that DISM doesn't always find the source files in the esd.) Step 1 works fine and I can see there's only 1 installation in the ESD file (obtained from an ISO built using Windows Media Creation Tool).
@lakonst: Thanks for the quick response. Just to be sure, I redownloaded the ISO with Media Creation Tool paying careful attention to the version and architecture.
Here's what checking the ESD contents shows:C:tempdism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:install.esdDeployment Image Servicing and Management toolVersion: 6.3.9600.17031Details for image: install.esdIndex: 1Name: Windows 8.1Description: Windows 8.1Size: 13,116,079,066 bytesThe operation completed successfully.only one version, so the index 1 should work, but I still get error 11. After more research it looks like there are several problems can cause the error. Apparently even if CMD is started as administrator it's possible that it runs as 32 bit which could cause the problem.
I've experimented using some other info I found (most notably which subdirectory to run DISM from), but so far no joy – still getting error 11. Will keep researching, but if anyone has some other ideas I'd be grateful.

Thanks!.lakonstSep 24, 2017 @10:25:10. Dear @AZMountainGeekI was having the same error as you: 'An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.'

And it took me some hours to figure out what it was.When you type in dism /export-image /? It is stated that the compression of the destination image has to be the same as the source image and that is the key to the solution:Unfortunatley I don't know how to check the compression state of an image yet but there are only 4 possibilities (at least in Windows 8.1): fast, none, max and recovery.So what you have to do is try the /compress switch with that 4 options until you get it right.Turns out 'max' is not always the compression used by microsoft for my Windows 8.1 install.esd that was on my flash USB it was 'recovery'. Don't even know what to think of it if that is a low or high level compression but that was what made the command work for me. So good luck, I hope this helps.NateNov 06, 2018 @18:53:13.
