    Booting from USB: "Windows cannot open the required file D:\Sources\Install.wim"


    Hi all,I'm attempting to completely reinstall Windows 10 on my PC using a bootable USB. I used the Media Creation Tool to create the bootable USB. I have the error "Windows cannot open the required file D:\Sources\Install.wim". I saw that the bootable USB contains install.esd but not install.wim. Trying to research the problem online, I'm seeing a lot of different results and unclear information. Was wondering what the best way is to solve this issue.Thanks!

    :)

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk

    Windows cannot open the required file D:\Sources\install.wim


    I have Windows 10 media on a flash drive,and I was going to load it onto my other laptop that had no OS on it. I got to a screen that had said "Setup is Starting". Then, a box popped up saying," Windows cannot open the required file D:\Sources\install.wim. Make sure all files required for installation are available", I checked and the file is there, but I can't continue with the installation. What do I do?
