Windows 10: See Full Details about a Windows 10 ISO file

A few days ago I used the media tool to create a Win10 USB. I should have either 10586.164 or 10586.122 depending on when I did the create, e.g. before March 8, 2016. In an Admin CMD window I issued "dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:d:\sources\install.esd /index:1' I'm confused by the results I got. I don't see the version numbers I was expecting. Did I do something wrong?

 

Hello jgt1942, *Smile

It appears that you checked an older build 10240 ISO file.

 

I'm not sure how I downloaded an older version but somehow I did. I just downloaded the ISO file, mounted it and ran the command. I do see that it is versio 10.0.10586 but I don't really know what build it is. Per the MS webpage at Windows 10 update history - Windows Help
the file I downloaded is 10586.164 What am I doing wrong?

 

I guess the ISO supplies 10586.0 and then Windows update drives you to .164.I haven't tried this,but I think so.
You might use Techbench website to see if they directly provide 10586.164

 

I just wanted some way to check what I had downloaded and ensure I actually downloaded what I thought I was downloading. The other day I use the MS Media tool to create a USB bootable Win10 jumpdrive. I know the tool downloaded from the MS site but the version of Windows installed on the USB jumpdrive was a very old version and I did not realize it until I used it.

Once windows is installed you can press the Windows key + R and type WinVer (caps are NOT important) and it will display the current version of windows installed on your system.

Microsoft does not update the ISO files with every cumulative update they issue. The created on date in your screenshot is 02/13/16. That is the date that MS updated the ISO file. It is reported the ISO file created on that date installs 10586.104.

It doesn't really matter what the minor build number is (.104, .166, etc) because the first cumulative update from Windows Update will take you to the most current minor build number. What matters is the major build number. Going from the 10240 series to the 10586 is more than just a cumulative update - it is a whole Windows 10 upgrade process.

You got the 10240 ISO file the first time because you ran an old version of the Media Creation Tool that you had stored on your computer. The Media Creation Tool exe files are build specific. They will not automatically download the latest ISO. They will download the ISO file that was available when that specific Media Creation Tool exe file was created by Microsoft.

 

So, I go to the Media Create Tool website, download the tool, MediaCreationTool.exe dtd 06-09-2016
Run this tool
Download the iso
Mount or extract ISO (no difference in the outcome of the below)
then:

Code: C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:J:\sources\install.esd /index:1 Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.10586.0 Details for image : J:\sources\install.esd Index : 1 Name : Windows 10 Pro Description : Windows 10 Pro Size : 14.440.586.483 bytes WIM Bootable : No Architecture : x64 Hal : <undefined> Version : 10.0.14393 ServicePack Build : 0 ServicePack Level : 0 Edition : Professional Installation : Client ProductType : WinNT ProductSuite : Terminal Server System Root : WINDOWS Directories : 19112 Files : 103893 Created : 17-07-2016 - 01:09:37 Modified : 06-09-2016 - 10:05:40 Languages : en-GB (Default) The operation completed successfully.[/quote] I also used boot.wim
there is a small ws.dat file - when viewing that file it shows 10.0.14393

Would expect the iso to be 1607 or so.

same goes for the Win10_1607_English_x64.iso

any idea?

Media Creation Tool is downloading the most current public build. 1607 is 14393.xxx. Looks like you are still running 10586, Pre-Anniversary. That's why the tool (DISM) is showing 10586, but the ISO info is correct as 14393. Not a problem. You're just extracting info from a later build with an earlier tool.

 

Many thanks indeed. All clear.
Got mixed up myself...*Redface
Ahum.

Should this work in the Windows~BT Folder too ? when I run it against the 1607 Feature UPdate just downloaded on one of my systems , against Install.esd everything is shown as "undefined". The system is currently on 1511.589.

It appears to be a multi Edition ISO if I leave off the /index:1 part

from the ADMIN CMD Prompt :

C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\sources\install.esd /index:1

Hello kbird, *Smile

If you like, you could convert the ESD file to be an ISO file, then check it.

ESD to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 ESD File

 

OK , I thought I could check it without doing that ...... my mistake....

Thanks

KB.

edit: ESDToIso , with no# 3 gives basic info though I am doing the conversion since I'd rather run this Update myself.

 

@Kbird

The encrypted install.esd found there in not the same as the install.esd after decryption.

It contains the files to create an iso which includes Setup Media, as in your display (see size - the actual decrypted Install.esd is much, much larger.)

 

thanks SuperFly , good info , I just assumed install.esd was the same in the ~BT folder as in the mounted ISO ...figured it was kinda the same thing so would work the same way.

Looks like it is STD 1607 ,and I'll have to update to the minor Build afterwards.....

No longer accurate in 14393, or maybe it doesn't work on DVDs for some reason?
