    No Install.esd or C:\RecoveryImage


    I'm confused. When I upgraded my VM to 10166, there was a install.esd in C:\$windows.~Bt\sources. I used it to create a iso that I then used to upgrade my Laptop with by mounting it and running setup.exe.

    Is this only talking about Create a recovery drive?

    older preview releases use to create a recovery image folder C\recovery - which newer releases do not..
    He did not get the esd in time - it was deleted

    in my VM, I am not finding install.esd in that folder mentioned by you.


    I am not able to follow your last line, he did not get the esd in time. Can you be more elaborate, please?

    Yup . . . I've been able to find it from Build 10041 all the way to 10166.

    Interesting .... is there documentation on this? I recall a member mentioning that the 450 MB partition was created AFTER his other partitions on one recent build, so I'm curious about what the changes are.

    I'm particularly interested in MBR initialized disks (my machine), not GPT. How would Windows install do this in an upgrade scenario.

    Always find your posts full of good stuff - perhaps a bit too technical for the average user (I scratch my head on some of the stuff *Wink) ... but I do learn from what you post. You make me think and double check my understanding of the way things work now.

    Thanks,

    Bill

    Right where you said it would be. C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\install.esd

    For ease of searching, once you have opened Sources, click on the Name tab, which will alphabetize everything. Now just scroll down to things starting with I and you should be able to find it.

    I am giving below my C:\$Windows.~BT\sources folder with names tab alphabetized near i letter.
    Why am I missing it? What can be the reason.

    I don't have a clue as to why it's not there for you. What I showed you is from Windows Update from 10162 to 10166.

    Which Build do you have and how was it installed? Although I may not be able to help, someone else might with that info.

    OK, hopefully someone here will be able to help, because that's exactly what I did and as you saw, I have install.esd. It doesn't disappear for me, so I'm not sure why yours isn't there.

    I was able to get the install.esd from the 10166 x64 update..
    BUT - the 10166 x86 update the esd was not there

    Nor found elsewhere - windows-bt ended up deleted itself

    still have not been able to update the x86 to 10166 (x64 no problem)

    Ah, I have x64 installed here. Never thought of that being a cause.
