This looks good!

WIM Witch is a utility that can be used to update and modify WIM files for Windows deployment scenarios. It allows the WIM to be patched, drivers to be applied, in-box applications to be removed, and .Net 3.5 binaries to be injected. It also supports the ability to inject an Autopilot configuration file into the WIM file to support “Autopilot For Existing Device” deployments. It accomplishes this by providing the user with a GUI to setup the desired configuration. Once the parameters have been configured, the image can be created, or the configuration saved for use with command line functionality.

 

To get started, simply run the script with Administrative rights. WIM Witch will start a pre-flight check to see if its folders exist in the folder that the script was run. If it doesn’t detect any of its folders, it will start the installation routine.

 

Downloading and Maintaining the software update catalog – GUI

If this is the first time WIM Witch has been run, WIM Witch may detect that OSDUpdate and OSDSUS have not been installed. It will also check to see what the latest version available is.

 

WIM Witch uses David Segura’s OSDUpdate and OSDSUS modules to handle updates downloading and superseding. These modules will need to be kept up to date to ensure access to new software updates.

 

Once WIM Witch’s GUI loads, click on the “Updates” tab. If the modules have not been installed previously, “Not Installed” should be in the “Installed Version” fields.

 

Downloading and Maintaining the software update catalog – Command Line

The following arguments can be passed to the script from command line in order to maintain the WIM Witch software update catalog.

 

.\WIMWitch.ps1 -updates yes -OSDSUS update -Superseded delete -DownUpdates all

Anyone having issues trying to Import WIM and .Net Binaries?

 

I'm getting errors about Get-WindowImage and the system cannot find the path specified - $iso\sources\install.wim

 

Cheers

Has anyone come across difficulties when removing apps? It allows you to select them but then fails on removal stating they do not exist? However they do and remain within the WIM. Edited by hyb80

I can see what it is now. When I select my WIM I dont get the option to select what version of Windows. It just populates with the name of the WIM.

I tried with W10 media and it works fine.

 

Is there a good way to edit an existing WIM file so it picks up the version (Enterprise etc)

Unfortunately not. Neither WIM Witch or OSDBuilder work with captured WIM files.

 

You would need to use the WIM from your W10 install media.
