Nana zip does not know how to handle split WIM Archives. (.SWM)

Open TheCodeingPadawan opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Recently was trying to get a WIM image to fix my computers recovery partition. However, i found that because the Windows media creation tool formats the usb as FAT32 to make it EFI bootable, The 4 GB file limit means that the install WIM image is split into two SWM Archives instead.

Nana zip recognized that the Archive structure is similar to a WIM, however it does not seem to understand that it is a split archive and does not try to open it using both parts. install.swm & install2.swm

It was my personally-enforced "Prefer System32 Images" mitigation flag for Explorer.exe that caused the error I described.

In other words, NanaZip 3 can be made portable simply by extracting needed files from MSIX package. It works as a non-UWP legacy program!

You can close this one!
