Compressing the Windows 7 wim

Recommended Posts

I was injecting some new updates into our Windows 7 wim file today and I noticed it is sitting at 6.4GB these days.

 

Not really sure what options are around for compressing these files.

 

I did a bit of a google and it looks like DISM in the Windows 8 AIK has some compression options, such as this:

Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:C:\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:C:\sources\install.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 8 Pro" /Compress:Maximum

Will that work with Windows 7 or is there a better way?
