    Request: DISM - Need DISM to check Source is valid before running.


    Need DISM to verify source exists typed in correctly before process starts.It runs for minutes only to come back and report source is not available.My system seems to be infected. Corruption was detected. I ran DISM to repair, only to report source is not available.I did run SFC, corruption was detected, but unrepairable. It seems to be denying access to source to prevent repair.I did online and typed in the path to install.ESD

    How to get damn DISM to work?

    Yes, I have the image mounted, the same bloody image I've used to install the OS I'm just using. This is absurd. I've tried this:

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:E:\x64\sources\install.esd
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:E:\x64\sources\install.esd:1
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\x64\sources\install.esd
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\x64\sources\install.esd /limitaccess
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\x64\sources\install.esd:1
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\x64\sources\install.esd:1 /limitaccess

    None of this crap works even though entire freaking internet is saying that this is the way to do it. Some even mention using quotas for the path which makes no difference (It doesn't need it anyway since there aren't any spaces anyway.

    I just can't understand how can OS integrity check tool feature be dumber as years pass by instead of being smarter and more useful.

    EDIT:
    Redownloading 4 gigs of stupid image because the one I have apparently isn't good enough. *sigh*

    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.

    Can't get SFC and DISM to work anymore on Win10

    have you tried specifying the source for DISM? We have had a few computers at work give the unable to find source error on Online DISM
