GImageX (ImageX GUI) Updated Version now Available

You may remember that back in the early days of my blog, I posted a tool that myself and fellow MCS consultant Jon Bennett (also of AutoIT fame) had worked on called GImageX. This tool was a Graphical User Interface for the Microsoft ImageX command line tool.
Well - Jon has spent some long lonely evenings in hotel rooms during recent engagements and has completely re-written GImageX (now v2.0.1 BETA)
This new version includes:

• Native x86 and x64 versions entirely written in C++. Tiny ~100KB executable.
• Doesn’t use the imagex.exe utility at all – instead it uses the WIMGAPI interface (the wimgapi.dll file from the imagex directory)
• Progress bars, time elapsed, time remaining, file counts have been added
• Clean “abort” option
• Ability to mount, change and get info on WIM images

This tool is unsupported by Microsoft and used at your own risk - however, myself an Jon would really appreciate your comments and feedback via the "comments" section on this blog
You can download GImageX v2.0.1 BETA from:

Hi

I have been trying to use gimagex. I have done the following.....

1 - created a WinPE bootup CD on which I have included imagex and gimagex
2 - Booted into WinPE and captured the C: drive of my PC (no errors occurred during the capture process which took about 1 hour.

However, when I then try to deploy my .wim image it runs for about 10 seconds or so 'unpacking' files then comes up with the following error (verbatim below)....

"The Exception unknown software exception (0x0000417) occurred in the application at location 0x00414ce3. Click OK to exit."

When I click OK gimagex exits, so it is not possible to see which files is was unpacking when the error occured in order to try and work out why this is happening.
If you can give me any help I? would really appreciate it as I have tried to google for these errors but there is nothing.

Many thanks for any help you may be able to offer me.

Kind regards

Neal
