Esd-decrypter-wimlib-4.7z Download

About six months ago, in one of our articles titled how to convert install.ESD file to install.WIM, we talked about converting ESD (Electronic Software Download) file to WIM file with the help of a third-party tool called WinReducer WIM Converter. The tool lets you convert files between ESD and WIM with ease.
After going through our how to convert install.esd file to WIM guide, many users asked us to publish a guide to convert ESD file to ISO but the lack of an easy-to-use and straight-forward software forced us to wait for the release of an easy-to-use software for the job.
The good news is that the popular NTLite software, the free tool which lets you tweak and customize Windows installation, now lets you convert ESD files to ISO. In addition to converting ESD files to ISO format, it also lets you convert ESD files to WIM and vice versa. I
Because only Windows 8 and Windows 10 support installing from ESD files, NTLite displays ESD conversion option only when you load an edition of Windows 8, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10, meaning this option will not appear when you load an edition of Windows 7.
Step 4: Finally, press 1 on you keyboard and then press Enter key to begin creating the ISO file. Note that read all options carefully as the options might change in future versions.
Step 4: Now, select the Windows version and edition (see picture) to activate Create ISO button. Note that if the Create ISO is greyed out and not allowing you to click, please click or select the Operating system (which appears under Image History).
To convert files between ESD and WIM, please follow the above mentioned instructions. The only change is that, after browsing to the ESD file and selecting Windows version, you need to click the Convert button.
I just downloaded the latest Windows 10 (10548??, or is it better to say build 1511?). I tried ESD Decrypter 6, which DOES NOT WORK! It seems bent on expecting 4 images in the .esd file, while the latest download only has TWO!
Peter,
I have updated the post with link to the version of ESD Decrypter that supports build 10240. Kindly download it again and you will have no issues. I just tried v6.7 with RTM build 10240 and can confirm that it works without any issues.
Not working with Windows 10 RTM Build 10240 I get a RSA error. Step 2 of your instructions talk about ISO image whereas it should be ESD image. The free program esd-decrypter-wimlib-4.7z does not work either. With respect, perhaps you could link to downloading an ISO image. Thanks for trying though.
Odd Austrud, I was running in to the same issues and then I found this guide and was able to convert the ESD to an iso. I just had to make sure to put the ESD file in the esd-decrypter-wimlib-4 folder (the same folder as decrypt.cmd) for it to work.
Odd, as I have pointed out in the Step 4 of the article (just edited to add that line), you need to click on the operating system or version of Windows. Please check the picture provided in teh step 4 of the article. Sorry for the confusion.
