Windows 10: Dism problem "The source files could not be found"

Oh. I had a typo.

Sorry. I'll try again.

 

This time, no typo, but still error.

 

I am going to Mount my Tech Bench iso file, and run my "usual" dism command line.

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:E:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess


This will be on my Win 10 Home laptop.

Will post back the result.

 

Result : restore operation completed successfully.

 

I am sorry.
I don't know what was wrong in your situation.
As you can see, I just used the same method and it completed successfully. Post #17.

 

WHEN was your iso downloaded from MCT ?
What is your current Win 10 version ?
Please post a screenshot of your winver.

This is my Win 10 version :

 

That's because you ran the command from C:\WINDOWS\system32 and did not specify the whole path to the install.wim file. I changed directories to the path of the install.wim file first. You have to do one or the other - if you don't run the command from the folder where the install.wim file is, then you have to enter the full path to the install.wim file. Or you have to change folders to get to the folder where the install.wim file is, then you can use install.wim in the command without the path to it.

Notice the command prompt in my screenshots before the dism commands is F:\x64\sources not C:\WINDOWS\system32

 

OK. Thank you.

However, I have shown that I can run the
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:E:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess

On my Win 10 Home without changing from 1 to 2.

Post #17.

 

I'm guessing because index 1 is Windows 10 Pro it should have all the files that Windows 10 Home does + some extras and, therefore, can be used as a source.

 

winversion , ISO DL today. I ran with whole path to ESD file with no difference (extracted the ISO).





Have problems also with latest cumulative update, maybe somethings screwed up in my Windows, usually have been able to run dism and other commands successfully. May look at a W10 re-install. Have tried to re-update W10 via media creation tools that it would fix Windows but no luck there, it faults on the update. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...3-e561b76af348

 

I can only suggest this :
Let's start from the beginning as if nothing had been done before.................................

Use the Tech Bench link to download your version of Windows 10
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/techbench
Once you have the iso downloaded, right click at the ISO > click Mount > leave it there

Then open the elevated command prompt and copy and paste this................

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:H:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess

Note : H is the drive where the iso is mounted. Change it if your driver letter is different.

When it is completed, you should get the report that the operation is successful.
Now run the sfc /scannow again. It should be ok this time.

 

One thing, link has not different versions of UK and US version or is there, I need US version of W10 Pro x64. DL the non international version of English language.

 

No difference UK, US or any other countries.
The only difference will be under Select edition :
Windows 10
Windows 10 KN
Windows 10 N
Windows Single Language

Pick the first one on the list........... Windows 10
Make sure you pick the same language and bit-version your computer is running.
If your Windows 10 is running English, don't take English International, or vice versa.

 

Yup, worked with image from technet. Running SFC, maybe open another thread for the cumulative patch problem--if there's any solution to that.

Edit: SFC /Scannow ran successfully, repaired files. SFC matter in order, used wrong image, don't know why can't use the MCT image?!

 

Someone said there were reports from other users that MCT image is not reliable when running the dism / source command line.
I had no proof of that ....... until now.
