    Iso, esd or wim?


    Wish to correct a Source files missing problem, so need to download an ISO.
    Installed is W10 1511 version 10586.164 Pro.....how can I tell whether it is ESD or WIM?
    I know that downloads are as following.....M$ Media is ESD and TechNet is WIM.

    Then just copy the install.WIM from the ISO to a partition, like E: (or any other partition you have)
    then run this command:
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:E:\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

    The install.wim is found in the sources folder in the ISO from Tech Bench.

    Does not matter, either will work.
    They are exactly the same. Different compression methods. ESD is smaller, faster to download.
    If you use 7-zip to unzip either install.esd or install.wim, the results are the same in file size.

    Thanks to you both for replies....M$ support recommend using the TechNet WIM version.
    Apparently it is a known M$ problem, updating on some computers wipes out vital .dll,s and they are looking to fix it.

    Many people have reported that DISM will not use the .ESD file contained in the Media Creation Tool ISO file and had to download the ISO from Tech Bench containing the .WIM file, so I always suggest just going to Tech Bench first.

    Microsoft support also recommend deleting any existing CBS log files when repairing missing source files.

    Yes because Windows will create a new one when you run your install.wim for repairs
    should be in C:\windows\logs folder

    And Image-Health does all of the suggested above..
    finds the source Install.*** > supports the use of .esd or .wim
    clears the log..
    runs the proper dism commands..

    All you have to do > is select the option to run...

    But, the techbench ISO with an Install.wim - is the preferred source................
