GImageX 2.0.17

This information has some time (19th September, 2009) but I would like to share with you a nice application developed from the some people of AutoIT.

This application it’s called GImageX and it a G(raphical)ImageX.

This makes it possible to manage *.wim files without the need of old (but always useful) command-line commands.

So you can mount, unmount, change, commit, discard apply and everything else from a graphical environment.

This last version already supports Windows 7 RTM.
