    Source to use for DISM on Windows 10


    hmm...

    I assumed they were the same all along so I tried simply COPYING the .esd AND the .wim out, and tried to use them but that didn't work either. Now that you mention EXTRACTING it out, that maybe makes more sense.

    I thought the .esd version was encrypted. Does 7-zip take care of that?

    DISM /Source option how to use a USB flash drive as the source

    Hi CPP0702,

    Let's try converting ESD to WIM and try running DISM again. To convert the file format,

    • dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:F:\sources\install.esd /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:C:\install.wim /Compress:Max /CheckIntegrity
    Once the C:\install.wim file is ready, run:

    • dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:C:\install.wim
    Please upload "C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log" if the issue persists.

    Hi,

    I think you need to mention the index#, whether it's a multi-edition ESD or not.

    You can list available editions and their indexes with the following command:



    dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:F:\sources\install.esd
