    dism mount of install.wim gets bad format error (header mismatch)


    I am attempting to use dism to mount install.wim for build 10240 (the current publicly available build), and dism gets an error 11, which is incorrect format error. dism lists the image correctly, and it is the only image in the .wim

    Command:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /mount-image /imagefile:c:\files\windows\install.wim /index:1 /mountdir:c:\mount


    The log file has the following entries:

    2015-10-19 10:56:30, Warning DISM DISM WIM Provider: PID=5716 [ReadWimHeader 1723) -> version/header mismatch] c:\files\windows\install.wim (HRESULT=0x8007000B) - CWimManager::WimProviderMsgLogCallback[5716] [0xc144012e]

    Anyone else encounter this error?

    "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them" error message on running SFC scan on Windows 10 PCs.

    I used this command to mount: Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:C:\testing\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\sourcetest \offline but when I executed: Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:C:\testing\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\sourcetest \offline it did not
    work. So I ask please show me how to MOUNT the ISO , and what command line to point the DISM to it. Again, thanks

    DISM

    Hello, I have a problem with the DISM tool. When I run the command:

    Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:C:\test\images\install.wim /Name:"Windows Drive" /MountDir:C:\test\offline

    I get Error: 0xc1560111

    The specified image does not exist in the specified image container.

    Check the image container first for existing images.

    The install.wim file IS in that folder for sure, I don't understand this error.

    I typed error code into search and found nothing. Could anyone help with this?

    dism mount of install.wim gets bad format error (header mismatch)

    No, It won't work with the version publicly available. You would need the version that you purchase in order to mount.

    The .wim from the media upgrade tool is compressed and doesn't work. Are you trying to use that?

    Download the ISO from Tech Bench - it works just fine.

    I'm downloading it now. Thanks for the TechBench ref. I'm also signed up for the Insider program, I should have guessed that the public wim image would be unusable for anything but actually upgrade/install and tried an Insider ISO. I'm doing some research work on the image, not something particularly useful.

    Thanks again
    Jon

    The Retail ISO contains a MediaMeta.xml file that locks the install.wim
    thus preventing Dism from using it

    dism mount of install.wim gets bad format error (header mismatch)

    Good to know, thanks. I just downloaded a techbench ISO, I assume from the post by halasz that I won't have trouble with it. As I mentioned, this is not for anything terribly important.

    The techbench ref is important to me, however. I'll be doing freelancing, and I'll probably be helping my customers with upgrading to Windows 10.

    Thanks again to all who have commented

    Just wanted to let everyone know, I just successfully mounted install.wim with Windows 7 dism. (Slow as molasses on my severely under-powered Dell Dimension 4500). Thanks so much for the tips.

    So the answer is: use a copy of the ISO that is designed for install.wim to be mounted...*Smile
