Personally, I really love this tool, but I don't like the way Imagex responses to the parameter /INFO. When we run the following:
IMAGEX /INFO D:\Sources\install.wim
We will see the following result (just part of the result):

So, one day I decided to simplify the ImageX's result, make it more readable, and I've created one script. I've called it _Info_About-WIM.bat. So, when I run _Info_About-WIM.bat D:\Sources\install.wim I see the result in following format:
Index Image Name
[1] Windows 7 STARTER
[2] Windows 7 HOMEBASIC
[3] Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM
[4] Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL
[5] Windows 7 ULTIMATE
So, here is a content of _Info_About-WIM.bat:
@echo off
IF {%1}=={} @Echo Please provide a path to the .WIM file. For ex. D:\Sources\install.wim &goto :EOF
SET WIMPATH=%1
SET Images-Num=
SET LoopNum=
SET I=
FOR /F "TOKENS=3 Delims=: " %%a in ('imagex /INFO %1 ^| Find /i "Image Count"') do set Images-Num=%%a
SET /a LoopNum=%Images-Num% + 1
@Echo Index Image Name
:LOOP1
SET /a I=%I% + 1
IF "%I%"=="%LoopNum%" goto END
FOR /F "TOKENS=3 Delims=>,<" %%a in ('Imagex /INFO %1 %I% ^| find /i ""') do @Echo [%I%] %%a
goto LOOP1
:END

Hi I thought I'd finally found my answer here, seems I'm not the only one who doesn't like the /INFO layout.:)
ReplyDeleteI'm running/calling this from a cmd windows in Windows 7, i'm trying to automate the whole creation of VHD , attach of ISO, VHD and copying of a given WIM, with minimum user input, this was my last obstacle, to make the /INFO (I.T.) user friendly.
When I run your script/bat (i've called it imagin for my own purposes) against my M: drive
imagin.bat M:\sources\install.wim
all i get is
Index Image Name
No other info, and the command prompt again.
I may be missing something silly, but do you have any ideas/pointers?
Thanks
