Windows 10: DISM unable to locate Install.wim file

Hi,

Today, running sfc /scannow reported corrupted files it could not repair. I followed instructions here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/7...-10-image.html but I am unable to get DISM to find the Install.wim file even though I can see it quite clearly in Explorer.

I used the following command: DSIM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:WIM:T:\sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

The path to the ISO on the DVD drive is definitely correct, but I keep getting an 'Error 0x800f081f The source files could not be found'.

Has anyone got any suggestions how I can fix this?

Kind wishes ~ Patrick

Creators Update issues

Unable to install the Creators Update. A scan of the system indicates I have corrupted files which can't be fixed. I have tried running DISM to clean-up and repair. This does not work as the present ISO download is a different version to the version I
am running which is OS build 14393.1737. The present ISO does not contain an 'install.wim' file but instead has an 'install.eds' file. Where can I locate an ISO file with 'install.wim' file?

 

whatever dvd burning software is used, windows 10 just freezes

Hello,

this isn't helping either: when I the run DISM command it always stop at 20% saying sources can't be found. I have the ISO though, I even redownloaded it to have a fresh one, and with the DISM command using /source:WIM:X:\Sources\Install.wim:1
/LimitAccess Where "X" is the drive letter where the ISO is located the problem may be that it specify an "Install.wim" file and there is no such file in the "Sources\" directory of the ISO. I'm still stucked.

 

You probably need the .esd

The ISO file does not belong on the DVD - the CONTENTS of the ISO are what should be on the DVD...

If you have the ISO file on your HDD - double-click the ISO to Mount it as a DVD..

The point to the install.wim within the mounted ISO

 

Sorry - that was just bad use of English on my part. The DVD is inserted in the player and I am pointing to the contents of it, not the ISO image. Still doesn't work. *Sad

 

Thank you for the reply. I tried this using all four of the commands below. They all gave the same file-not-found error.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:ESD:G:\sources\install.esd /LimitAccess
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:ESD:G:\sources\install.esd:1 /LimitAccess
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:G:\sources\install.esd:1 /LimitAccess
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:G:\sources\install.esd /LimitAccess

So far I can tell, only 1 of the 4 commands is correct (2nd command)

Is there any difference when you leave /LimitAccess away?

 

It still fails with exactly the same error. Do you think there is any point in copying the ESD file to C:\Temp and trying to access it from there, or does it need other files in the same location?

 

I don't think there is any point in doing so.

Something I'm wondering, I assume you already have done so but I'd like confirmation.
Have you tried restorehealth without specifying a source?

 

*** Does the DVD have the same Win 10 version as the computer is now running ? ***
Someone in another thread used a 10586 iso version on a 10240 computer and asked why dism did not work.

1. Your command line consists of this....................Source:WIM:T:
Is T the drive letter of the dvd player ? If it isn't, you'll need to change that.

2. If you don't mind try it this way......................
Instead of using the DVD, go to the folder where your ISO file is saved at > right click at the file > click Mount > leave it there.
Then open your elevated command prompt, and enter the command line.
Make sure the T is the drive letter where your iso is mount. If not, change it.

 

Yes, I have. Exactly the same error. I even tried disabling the firewall, because I read somewhere else that someone had a problem with that.

 

To be honest, I am not sure the versions match. I know how to check the version of Windows on my machine, but how do I find out the version of the ISO file?

To answer your other points, the drive letter is indeed my DVD letter. I am just in the process of making a new ISO and will try mounting it as you suggest.

 

Mount the iso and execute from an elevated (admin) command prompt, the command
dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:H:\sources\install.esd /index:1
where H is the drive letter that your iso is mounted as.

 

If you have the file install.wim, then type the following:
dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:F:\sources\install.wim /index:1

Where F is the drive letter the iso is mounted on.
