Using WinNTSetup I have made Win7 and 8.x Wimboot installs on VHD and also Compress installs XPRESS4K, XPRESS8K and XPRESS16K, only case I haven't tested is Compress LZX on Win7 and 8.xĮDIT: Only valid for files under OS Directory.
Compress data and recompress it to its original state update#
The wof.sys driver appeared for the first time on 8.1 update 1Ĭompact mode installs appeared for the first time on 10 having XPRESS4K compression as default, but using WinNTSetup you can make Compress mode installs of 7 and 8.x even with higher compression.

If you don't want to make a Compact install at the moment but want to make it ready for compress it latter, select Compact:NONE Yes it does not have the wof.sys driver but WinNTSetup installs on Win7 the Wofadk.sys driver (from 10 ADK) during Wimboot or Compact mode installs (the driver is located on WinNTSetup\Tools\圆4 or x86\DISM folder). Win7 fails for me in case of VHD_WIMBOOT. Suposedly not since it is another different (higher) compression tool (it appeared the first time with 10) and using all your CPU cores not like NTFS v1 Compress since XP that only uses a single CPU core and a very low compression.

I guess it must be WimBootCompress.ini instead of WimBoot ReCompress.iniĪuthor said WimBoot ReCompress.ini on his post, see: ĪFAIK it is same or equivalent to WimBootCompress.ini and same content but WimBootCompress.ini is created during WinNTSetup installs on Wimboot mode and WimBoot ReCompress.ini is created during WinNTSetup installs on Compress mode, if there is not a previous version of one of them on Windows\System32 folder, if there exist a previous version it will be updated to include the contend of WimBootCompress.ini located on WinNTSetup\Tools folder.ĭoes this tool give a lot of fragmentation like NTFS compression is doing ?

NOTE 3: This post has been edited to include additional relevant info from following posts.ĮDIT: Wofadk Script for ChrisPE project and PEBakery builder: I don't think there is something better and compatible with WinNTSetup. NOTE 1: I f we have blank spaces on the path, we need to put the path into double quotes. f - force compression, if compressed with diferent algorithm This is what you see when running the program: You can also use it to just compress any folder, if you want: WofCompress -c:LZX -a -path:D:\Programs It will automatically use the exclusion list in WimBootReCompress.ini that WinNTSetup has placed in Windows\System32 folder. Than start the compression: WofCompress -c:LZX -path:C:\ Well first make sure the installation has the wof driver installed.īest if you have installed that system with any of WinNTSetups compact option.
Compress data and recompress it to its original state download#
Page with link to download the WofCompress tool for Win7 - Win10 from JFX (Program for Compress or recompress 7, 8.x and 10): This do not apply on any other compression level or on 7 and 8.x, that's why the WofCompress tool for Win7 - Win10 from JFX is required from time to time to ReCompress some directory or some files as you need, or the OS if you made a Compact mode install using WinNTSetup. Only on 10 and only on default XPRESS4K compression if you select the option always during compression with the compact.exe app (included on 10) all new files will be recompressed. Requirements: Win10 support this natively, but it may also be used starting from Win7 when wofadk.sys is installed and running, this is made automatically on this OSs the first time you run WinNTSetup and it downloads some files/folders from MS servers.īenefits: Higher compression levels than old NTFS compression, and there is no fragmentation, contrary to the very high fragmentation made by old NTFS compression. How it works: The Compression is made file by file, not as when making a *.wim, *.7z, *.rar, or *.zip file where all files/folders are contained into a single container file. This tool is very useful to compress/recompress files/folders with the new (since 10 launch) compression formats: Compact: XPRESS4K, XPRESS8K, XPRESS16K or LZX that can run directly from the compressed files/folders and are decompressed on the fly, this files are loaded to ram as any usuall file, and unless there is a change on a file as a new update, they will remain unchange (compressed) on the disk.
