Extract the windows major and minor build numbers from an ISO file, and automatically sort the iso files.
- Parse multiple ISO files from a directory.
- Detect the Windows build number and OS language.
- Sort and rename the ISO files in folders by OS major and minor builds.
Automatically sort and rename the isos from a directory by major and minor build numbers.
./SortWindowsISOs.py --iso-dir ./isos/ --archive-dir ./archive/Only get the major and minor build numbers of an ISO.
./SortWindowsISOs.py --iso ./isos/Win10_21H1_x64_English.iso
$ ./SortWindowsISOs.py -husage: SortWindowsISOs.py [-h] (-i ISO | -d ISO_DIR) [-a ARCHIVE_DIR] [-v]Extract Windows Build number from ISO files. v1.1optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -i ISO, --iso ISO Path to iso file. -d ISO_DIR, --iso-dir ISO_DIR Directory containing multiple ISOs to parse. -a ARCHIVE_DIR, --archive-dir ARCHIVE_DIR Archive dir. (default: False) -v, --verbose Verbose mode. (default: False)In order to extract the Windows version from an ISO, we first need to mount the ISO file and open its content. In the ISO, there is a./sources/ folder containing aWindows imaging (WIM) image in./sources/boot.wim. When we uncompress this archive, we get a lot of files, but one file at the root of the archive stands out:'[1].xml'.
