Editing WIM in peinst directory
So the captured WIM's are stored in the peinst\wim folder but it's read only. Anyone tried to change permissions for these files so you can replace them?

What I am wanting to do is update the Unattend.xml for a system image I uploaded. I want to be able to mount the WIM with DISM and then commit those changes so I can move on with life. It looks as if my arm is being twisted to use the K-Image method. I like using WIM's because I can use VM's to build and maintain my base images. Anyone know if you can capture a VM with the K2000? - jsunderman 10 years ago

I have created entries in the LockPermissions table in Installshield or Wise that have worked just fine for that.
There have been other instances out of packaging where I have used cacls.exe or Xcacls.exe to modify file/folder perms.

I hope this helps.

I don't believe you can change permissions to peinst, although I would love to have access to it.

you need to copy the wim from the share to a windows share and edit it there. Then you can run a map preinstall command to access that share for the wim file.

are you talking about using the old petemp directory? Because thats the old way of mapping the wim directory deploying. - mikesharp1 9 years ago

no the kbox stores them here. \\ikbox\peinst\wim\XX and I was referring to using external mapping to store and deploy from as in a windows server share. see http://www.itninja.com/blog/view/wim-storage-freeing-up-space-on-your-k2000-if-you-are-using-wims-k2000-version-3-6 - SMal.tmcc 9 years ago
