Uninstall the Win8/Win8.1 install.wim file without software

Today I used the pressure to decompress the Windows 8.1 install.wim file, and actually prompted the file to be corrupted, and the 7Z is still the same; in fact, the file is good. However, these softwares are temporarily not supported, but can be done manually using the dism command.

First, check the image version:

The image contains multiple versions, you need to confirm the version you need, my image path is "F:\\win8.1\\sources\\install. Wim", execute the following command

dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:"F:\\win8.1\\sources\\install.wim"

Version 1 is Win8 as shown Pro version 2 is Windows 8 standard version, I am Win8 Pro natural selection 1

Second, extract the image:

I want to extract the install.wim file to c:\\ In the 111 folder, execute the command for this:

dism /mount-wim /wimfile:"F:\\win8.1\\sources\\install.wim" /index:1 /mountdir:c:\\111

After the command is completed, open c:\\111. If the decompression is completed, you can choose to copy the required files.

Third, uninstall the image:

After the file is extracted, you no longer need to uninstall it. Before uninstalling, close the image folder and execute the command:

dism /unmount-wim /MountDir:c:\\111 /discard

When the command is completed, c:\\111 will become an empty folder.
