??? when using Dism, HOW to prevent overbloating of the .wim file???
k so that's a common problem & yet the web fails to provide a good answer, so I'll try here:
when using dism to slipstream msu updates (especially into install.wim) the wim file tends to get bloated far beyond what would be expected
googling the problem has failed to turn up consistent solutions, some say you must unmount the image then remount, others propose different dism commands (but don't specify when to run them)
so my question is simple, when disming a wim file - especially when many msu files are involved in the updating of the wim - how the f can I avoid bloating & make sure the final .wim is as small as possible? (without using any artificial compression of the wim file I mean. I also want an iso that installs as fast as possible)
do I have to unmount & remount the wim everytime I add a package? or run a special cleanup command after each package is added?
or instead is there 1 simple command I can run only after all the msu files been added, before committing the wim?
ps. don't try google, I did & it's useless for this specific problem
