Custom install.wim install problem

I will try to describe what I did in as much detail and as clearly as possible, maybe someone can give me a clue.
I installed a Windows 8 professional 64 bit on a Hyper-V virtual machine. The ISO I used is a MSDN retail version:
en_windows_8_1_x64_dvd_2707217.iso
SHA1 checked and OK.
Windows installed without any problems.
I updated the OS with all available updates.
Run sysprep „Enter audit mode” to delete the temp user I used to install the os and the updates
Then sysprep again „OOBE”, generalize and shutdown.
Booted from a windows PE iso, captured the install.wim with DSIM.
Now comes the fun part. From the same iso used to install the virtual machine, en_windows_8_1_x64_dvd_2707217.iso, created a bootable USB. Tried to install windows 8.1 as it is on a computer, no problem, it works.
I then tried to replace the install.win from the original ISO with the one containing the updates (the one I created above).
When I try to install this time, After I enter the key, I get the „The product key entered does not match ...” error.
I added the ei.cfg to the USB drive. This time the error comes right after pressing the „install” button.
Where could be the problem?

Ok. I'm back with the results.
DISM in WinPE iso is now version 6.3.9600.16384, so the one from Windows 8.1 ADK.
Test 1.
Installed windows 8.1 pro on the VM with the VM not connected to the internet (to avoid installing any updates)
Syprep
Imaged with command: dism /Capture-Image /CaptureDir:D:\ /ImageFile:S:\install.wim /Name:"Win8Pro"
/CheckIntegrity
Inserted the captured image into the install media
Tried to install and worked
Test 2.
Installed windows 8.1 pro on the VM with the VM not connected to the internet (to avoid installing any updates)
Connected the VM to the internet and installed all updates
Syprep
Imaged with command: dism /Capture-Image /CaptureDir:D:\ /ImageFile:S:\install.wim /Name:"Win8Pro"
/CheckIntegrity
Inserted the captured image into the install media
Tried to install and failed with the error mentioned in my original question
So the problem is somewhere in the updates. Something changes and makes the image unusable.
The files in C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\ActionFiles are changed from the original install media files, by some update. The problem could be in there.
install.wim info has the same problem: no edition flag set.

  • The installation was canceled: Install Windows: Windows cannot open the required file E:\sources\install.wim Error code: 0x80070570

    I have a Windows XP computer and accidentally formatted the C:\ Drive. I then decided to buy the Windows Vista CD installation and popped it into the CD Drive, there was a problem with the Drive so I had to move it onto a USB Drive instead(on another computer).
    When I booted my PC(C: Drive formatted) all went well until I typed in the product key and clicked next. It shows a dialog box:
    Install Windows
    Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\Install.wim. The file may be                                        
    corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and                                                
    restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070570
    I am in urgent need of help immediately. Please help me!
    P.S. and thanks for advance for any help. Sorry for anyone with the same problem.

    It sounds like there's a problem with that file. You will need to re-copy the files to USB or even re-download the operating system from Microsoft.

  • Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

    Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

    In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
    Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
    I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
    Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
    You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
    Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
    You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
    Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
    After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
    The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
    i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

  • I am a CC subscriber and trying to update lr5.7 and I am told to got to my CC folder and click on install. The problem is, LR is not in my file. I guess I have been using my original lr that I bought years ago. What now? How do i get lr into the CC file?

    Gary116 please remove and reinstall Lightroom by following the steps listed in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed.  The version of Photoshop Lightroom available through the Creative Cloud Desktop application supports your Creative Cloud Membership.

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on old laptop.  Is there a small fee to be able to do this.  Never installed the video editing portion, can this be installed with no problem?

    Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop.  This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again.  Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.

    If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

  • An update installed using DISM in install.wim seen as "Not Applicable" by WSUS report instead of "Installed"

    Hi all,
    To make server's installation faster, I intend to make an updated "install.wim" every 6 months using DISM.
    Then, after installation, the Win2012R2 server connect to a WSUS server to get the latests update not included in the install.wim.
    As a test, I used DISM to install an update in the install.wim file of Windows 2012R2 sources.
    In a new installed Windows server 2012R2, I can see that the KB is installed.
    But on the WSUS report of this server, the status of the KB included in the install.wim by DISM displayed as "Not applicable".
    Is it because WSUS did not installed it itself ?
    Is there a way to display it as "installed" in the report, even if the patch had not been installed by the WSUS server ?
    Thanks
    ML

    But on the WSUS report of this server, the status of the KB included in the install.wim by DISM displayed as "Not applicable".
    Very possible, and likely.
    It depends on how the detection logic of the update has been written. In some cases, detection logic is based on what an installer does during installation, e.g. create and/or set a registry key or value. This may not happen when injecting an update into
    an image using DISM. As a result, the detection logic will not see the necessary flags it's looking for to determine that an update is "Installed" vs "Not Applicable".
    You also have to think of this in terms of the baseline image installed on the system. To be true, a baseline image that already has the necessary content is, in fact, "Not Applicable", and has, in fact, not actually been installed to that machine.
    Most often you see this in the realm of installing images with slipstreamed service packs.
    Consider a scenario with a slipstreamed Win7SP1 baseline. Functionally speaking, all previous updates are contained within that SP1 baseline, but if you inspect the state of the actual updates in WSUS, they will all be listed as Not Applicable. They're not
    actually "installed", and they cannot be installed, thus the only viable remaining state is "Not Applicable", which is true -- because they cannot be installed on an SP1-based machine. (Functionally they are superseded, which is also a
    contributing factor to the state of "Not Applicable".)
    There is no way to display it as "Installed". It's not. This is something that should be documented in the declaration of the baseline image you're using (by patching up the image with DISM once every six months).

    Not easy if vital information is missing. Sometimes it seems like people are using the internet the first time...

  • Flash Player 10.2 will not install - not same problem as Audrey below.

    Hi,
    Using Win 7 home deluxe, was using Flash player no problem until the office had me uninstall it to fix another problem but now will not reinstall, keeps insisting on installing Mc Afee alongside it and then Mc Afee won't install correctly and won't allow Flash Player to install either.
    Have repeatedly uninstalled the full Adobe free software suite, and Mc Afee and started from the beginning have tried using the 32 bit IE instead of thr 64 bit, when the window comes up showing the registration it only shows the Quit button will not let me use the Agree or Install button and again and again it keeps installing Mc Afee without being asked, I don't use or need Mc Afee as have Nortons.   I have also been turning off the norton antivrus while doing the installation as i know that can interfere with it.
    been trying this on and off for some days now, multiple times, and I do need to get this fixed I would appreciate some advice thanks
