Here's How:
1. Download and install the same free 32-bit or 64-bit 7-Zip program version as your 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7.

2. Use Compatibiliy Mode on the 7-Zip shortcut and check the Run this program as an administrator box.

6. Scroll down and double click on the install.wim file. (See screenshot below)
Step3.jpg

Step4.jpg

11. Now open the numbered folder (step 8) that is the same edition as your currently installed Windows 7 edition, and navigate to the Windows\System32 folder. You can now select and extract the system files that you need to your desktop. (See screenshot below)
Step8.jpg
12. Verify that each extracted file is unblocked. You can now use the extracted files to copy and replace your missing or corrupted system files in your currently installed Windows 7.

   Tip
You will need to take ownership and set permissions to "Allow" your account "Full Control" of the original file in your current installation before you will be allowed to replace it with the extracted copy.

If the system file is in use and you are unable to replace it with the extracted copy, then:
  • Open a Command Prompt at boot.
  • Do steps 4B to 4D in this tutorial first to verify the drive letter of your Windows 7 drive. It's not always C: at boot.
  • Type in the command below to copy and replace the original file with the extracted replacement file.
Copy /Y "full path of extracted replacement file" "full path of original Windows 7 system file"

For example:
If the extracted replacement uDWM.DLL is on my desktop, then I would use type this in the command prompt at boot and press enter.

Copy /Y "C:\Users\User-name\Desktop\uDWM.dll" "C:\Windows\System32\uDWM.dll"





That's it,
Shawn

Hello jraju, :)

Manually replacing the file will most likely not work in this situation. You might see if doing a system restore using a restore point dated before this started may be able to sort this for you.

Hi, brink , can i view the files copied as service pack 1 in the installation dvd.
i mean, normally updates files are stored in software distribution folder.
i also read from tutorials, that all the files are located in the same folder as in the installation disk.
what i want to know is if i integrated the service pack, then could i know, if it has been incorporated in the installlation media by looking at the file concerned

Usually the installation media (ex: ISO) will have SP1 in the name to help indicate it includes the service pack.

You can use the same method below to look at the details of the Windows 7 ISO or USB to see if it includes the service pack.

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. I like the way you answer to the point. awesome answers at that . The link would be very useful not only to me, but to other users as well
A small query,
If i had integrated the updates, could i just totally install in a virtual drive and then unmount the virtual drive totally during the windows session
If that could be done, i will be knowing if the instllation dvd or usb is booting.
i checked once that it is booting, but failed when expanding...files stae, after copying files stage. It ended with the installation was not successful
mere booting from usb, would not mean that it is installing to the last process
please give your ideas
Ok, those dism commands only list the version and architecture
what i want to know, is if the service pack and updates as shown as integrated have been in the installation media
Are there any clue to find those.
Normally install.wim is the folder where all integration takes place , and could i view the files like service pack and otaher updates, so that i could be confident of my installation media

Hi, Brink, When I tried to copy a file from winsxs folder, I get permission errors.
The file is reported to be corrupt in install disc. I copied from a friends system and tried to copy the same to the installation usb.
I get permission errors as its permission is set to TrustedInstaller.
Is there anything i do to copy the files.
I just used the gimagex to mount the wim file and using 7 zip to go the winsxs folder of my id and then try to copy the clean file. But it asks for admin permission to do this task.
As I have deleted the folder in the winsxs folder, I could not just restore the file from recycle bin also.
Brink, expecting your reply

Hello mate, :-)

Just to confirm, but did you take ownership and set permissions like in the yellow tip box at the bottom of the tutorial to see if that may help?

I did not get the add button show on advanced option.
So, I just used this command in the link to take the permission of winsxs folder.
When I finished the command to take ownership, there was some activity screen on cmd to give all the subfoders in it , to get success of permissions.
But, the next command Icalc in the page, link, has come with error
No mapping between accounts and secruity ids was done error
Should I do icalc for copying a system file on a mounted wim folder
Is this command necessary to copy a file
i used this cmd to perform take ownership

Takeown /f <folder name> /r /d /y
and then used icacls which alerts error
icacls <folder name> grant administrators: F /T
the link:
Take Ownership of a File or Folder Using Command-Line in Windows >> Winhelponline

Hi, Brink,
If you copied the correct file to a installation disc on the correct folder, say , winsxs folder, will there be any problem in booting in extracting windows files stage.
Why I ask is , we are directly copying to the mounted image on the same folder and then unmounting after committing changes
Thanks and expecting reply

A question, I saw an iso file with win 7 made by another guy, with all supported usb 3.x and nvme drivers integrated in that iso file.

Im tryng to create my own win 7 iso file (version 2015) and Im planning to use these drivers from that image iso file made by a third people and integrate in my own. How can I extract these drivers from that iso?

The idea is integrate them in the win 7 iso image version 2015 by using whatever tool to integrate updates and drivers.

you might have to integrate the driver framework update as well. windows6.1-kb2864202-x64.msu

it is in the USB3 attachment at the bottom of all my posts.

some drivers ( for example the recent realtek net drivers ) are sha2 signed which means also integrating the sha2 update into the installation media. windows6.1-kb4474419-v3-x64.msu
