ManagedWimLib 1.1.1

Usage

Initialization

ManagedWimLib requires binary of wimlib to work.
Internally it is done by loading functions dynamically (using LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress).

Wim.GlobalInit() should be explicitly called before using ManagedWimLib.

Put this snippet in your application's init code:

if (IntPtr.Size == 8) // This app is running on 64bit .Net Framework
    Wim.GlobalInit(Path.Combine("x64", "libwim-15.dll"));
else // This app is running on 32bit .Net Framework
    Wim.GlobalInit(Path.Combine("x86", "libwim-15.dll"));

WARNING: Architecture of libwim-15.dll must be matched with caller!

Embedded precompiled binary

ManagedWimLib comes with libwim-15.dll, precompiled binaries of wimlib 1.13.0-BETA5.
They will be copied into $(OutDir)\x86\libwim-15.dll and $(OutDir)\x64\libwim-15.dll automatically at build.

Custom binary

To use custom wimlib binary instead, call Wim.GlobalInit() with path to custom libwim-15.dll.

NOTE: Create empty file named ManagedWimLib.Precompiled.Exclude in project directory to prevent copy of package-embedded libwim-15.dll.

Cleanup

To unload wimlib explicitly, call Wim.GlobalCleanup().
