Windows 10: Windows ADK 1903 fails to generate catalog

I'm trying to regenerate my unattended setup answer file.


In order to do this, I have to use the ADK to create a catalog from my installation media.


I installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 Pro 1903 onto a virtual machine. I installed the ADK onto this machine as well.


When I attempt to generate the catalog with the WSIM application. it gives me this error:


Windows SIM was unable to generate a catalog. For troubleshooting assistance, see the topic: 'Windows System Image Manager Technical Reference' in the Windows ADK User's Guide.

Details: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ComponentStudio.ComponentPlatformImplementation,Version=10.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.


Please keep in mind, I installed Windows 10 1903 TODAY, and I downloaded and installed the ADK for 1903 TODAY. So everything should be latest+greatest. I notice it's complaining about a version mismatch. So what do I do? I downloaded and installed straight from the website TODAY.. how can the versions mismatch? How do I fix this? I really need this to work, I can't do my job without this working.


Here's the log file it generated:


1:23 PM : This application requires version 10.0.18362.1 of the Windows ADK.
Install this version to correct the problem

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Windows 10 ADK

Is there a Windows 10 ADK available now that Windows 10 has released? I have the ADK Tech Preview, looking for the final ADK.

EDIT: It appears that the preview ADK will not open the WIM files from the downloaded ISO's
