Convert MOU to WIM

Understanding the mou and wim file formats

MOU files are compressed archive files created by KGB Archiver, a high-compression utility. These files are used to store and compress multiple files and folders into a single archive, similar to ZIP or RAR formats, but with a focus on maximum compression.

WIM (Windows Imaging Format) files are disk image files developed by Microsoft. They are commonly used to deploy Windows operating systems and can contain multiple disk images within a single file, supporting compression and file-based imaging.

Why convert mou to wim?

Converting a MOU archive to a WIM image is useful when you need to deploy the contents of a highly compressed archive as a Windows image, for example, in system deployment or backup scenarios.

How to convert mou to wim

There is no direct converter from MOU to WIM. The process involves two main steps:

1. Extract the MOU archive using KGB Archiver or a compatible tool.
2. Create a WIM image from the extracted files using a tool like DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) or GImageX.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Extract MOU archive:
   • Download and install KGB Archiver.
   • Open KGB Archiver and use File → Open to select your .mou file.
   • Extract the contents to a folder of your choice.
2. Create WIM image:
   • Open Command Prompt as administrator.
   • Use the following DISM command to create a WIM file:
     DISM /Capture-Image /ImageFile:C:\output.wim /CaptureDir:C:\ExtractedFolder /Name:"MyImage"
   • Alternatively, use GImageX for a graphical interface: select the Capture tab, set the source and destination, and click Create.

• KGB Archiver – for extracting MOU files.
• DISM (built into Windows) – for creating WIM images.
• GImageX – a user-friendly GUI for WIM creation.

Summary

While there is no direct MOU to WIM converter, you can extract the MOU archive and then create a WIM image using DISM or GImageX. This two-step process ensures your files are ready for deployment in the Windows Imaging Format.
