@monstermunchkin is this something you can help with?

3

Is this an official Windows ISO? It appears to be missing the install.wim file which shouldn’t be the case for official ISOs.

4

yes , download from microsoft.
then plz tell me the procedure? i m trying by this guide

5

Have you tried just running it again?

Is install.wim really missing? Please check the ISO using:

sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /mnt
ls /mnt/sources/install.wim

Could u give me a full guide ? I have no idea about " install.wim"

root@lxd1:~# sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /mnt
mount: /mnt: failed to setup loop device for /path/to/iso.
root@lxd1:~# ls /mnt/sources/install.vim
ls: cannot access ‘/mnt/sources/install.vim’: No such file or directory

I have windows ISO stored into /root/ path

/path/to/iso should be replaced by your actual path to the ISO image. So I guess /root/Windows10_02Feb2021.iso?

install.wim is one of the file distrobuilder modifies. It’s located under /<path-to-iso>/sources/install.wim. If it’s missing, that means something’s wrong with the ISO.

Could you give me a proper guide or command? Cause I didn’t see this location /path/to/iso
and also didn’t see //sources/install.wim this file. Today I have download latest ISO file from Microsoft by mediacreation tools. What can I do now? Plz help

Latest downloaded iso file hasn’t install.wim file. But I have download it from microsoft site. what can I do?

Windows10_02Feb2021.iso

Latest ISO on the website is

e793f3c94d075b1aa710ec8d462cee77fde82caf400d143d68036f72c12d9a7e Win10_20H2_English_x64.iso

I suggest you try with that one, not with one possibly mangled by the media creation tool.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

Note: If you have a Windows User Agent, you will not see the download option. Fake a Linux one if needed.

Could you please try again with the latest edge snap of distrobuilder? Just run snap refresh distrobuilder --channel=latest/edge to update distrobuilder.
