    how to analyze DISM.log


    before i begin, let me apologize if i placed this in the wrong forum. there didn't seem to be a forum for 'repairs' that i could see, so i chose the closest, 'Recovery and Backup'. If there is a better forum, would a Mod please move it there for me?I just finished a system repair on my system after SFC told me that repairs were unable to be completed. I ended up having to download the .ISO for Windows 11 Professional 24H2 to act as a source for DISM to repair the issue. I know how to 'analyze' my cbs.log made by SFC, but I was wondering how to do the same with my DISM.log file. The repairs are

    DISM Logging disabled

    I can locate the log, as you suggested, however the log file is empty (size 0 bytes). I have run the suggested command above; no change. The full error is: "Logging is disabled: unable to obtain access to the log file c:\windows\logs\dism\dism.log.

    How to get damn DISM to work?

    Thx guys, I'll compress this data into a blog post. For all the so called guides I've read, not a single one mentioned it has to be WIM file (some listed even ESD which clearly doesn't work) or that certain ISO images don't work with DISM.

    After I've done DISM thingie, SFC also managed to repair stuff. Which is what I've needed here.
