Hi,
You can try nl-nl, and before you can configure language settings, the appropriate language must be installed and configured in the Windows image
Add a Language Pack to a Windows Image

And if you're using an English image, then more change on the answer file is needed, hope this thread will be helpful ( reply posted by Dale Qiao)

  • Trying to Create a Catalog file using WSIM (Windows System Image Manager)

    I have been looking online for a solution to htis problem for days and come up with nothing so any help would be amazingly helpful.
    I have created a Windows 8.1 image which I would like to role out to all users within my company but when trying to create a catalog file I am getting an erorr message saying "Windows SIM was unable to generate a catalog."  It says "Mounting
    Windows Image file......This might take a few minutes" and then fails after 6-7mins.
    When opening the log file I get this:
    10:00 : Cannot obtain read/write access for F:\sources\install.wim.
    In order to generate a catalog file, you must have read/write access to the Windows image file and its containing folder.

    The one image that did work (LiteTouchPE_x64.wim) was from the OS I imported to Microsoft Workbench but the components are different to any that I have seen online when looking on how to do this.
    I have made sure that the architecture is x64 and tried from ISO files I have on the system already but get the same error.
    This is the first project I have been involved in and only ever done IT support before this.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    WSIM Version
    Surprising that it fails on the cleaning up portion, after mounting, serializing and un-mounting the Image.
    Is there an updated version of AIK or WSIM that needs to be used?

    It uses a new image format. The DISM and imaging api from even version 6.3.x (win 8.1) won't be able to access it. 
    But I think it's got some issues.  I can do a get-windowsimage -ImagePath install.wim and see the images, but dism /image:install.wim /? says "Unable to access the image.  Same with the boot wim.

  • Windows System Image Manager doesn't see any ISO image

    I am training for the 70-680 and am trying to create an answer file in Windows System Image Manager.  When I click "File" and try to select an ISO image, none of my ISO files appear although I can see the rest of the files in the share.
     What am I missing?
    I need a vacation.

    You can see in the GUI for WSIM that you can only open .clg (catalog) or .wim (windows image) when opening a Windows image.

  • Windows System Image Manager Error?

    Hi Everyone,
      I am having an issue trying to create an answer file through the WSIM. I locate the .wim I need and attempt to create the catalog file it needs first to do the task. However when I do attempt to create this catalog file I get the following error message:
    There was an error generating a catalog file for the image ********* in Windows image file G:\RemoteInstall\Images\*******\*******.wim   
    Keep in mind the *** are just substitutes for the actual names.
    If I attempt to just create a new answer file I am prompted with the message box "Editing an answer file without opening a Windows Image will result in limited functionality. Do you want to open a Windows image file now?
    I choose yes then open the image and am informed -
       "The catalog file for ******** cannot be opened for the following reason: Cannot fine the catalog file associated with the Window image ****.  You must have a valid catalog file to continue. Do you want to create a catalog file?"
    I click yes and then I get the same message as list on top. I am an admin on this box. Any thoughts or suggestions?
     Thanks in advance for your input.

    Hi,
    First I would like to confirm if you are using the latest version of WAIK –WAIK 1.1. If not, I suggest installing WAIK 1.1 from the following site:
    Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=94bb6e34-d890-4932-81a5-5b50c657de08&DisplayLang=en
    In addition, please make sure you are generating a catalog file for a install.wim file. You cannot generate a catalog file for a boot.wim file.
    Because of the changes in the servicing stack in Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008, Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) cannot create catalog files for some Windows images of different architecture types. The following list describes the Image Manager architecture types and catalogs that can be created for each one.
    x86 Windows SIM:
    Can create catalogs for x86, x64, and Itanium-based Windows images.
    x64 Windows SIM:
    Can create catalogs only for x64 Windows images.
    Itanium-based Windows SIM:
    Can create catalogs only for Itanium-based Windows images. 
    Please confirm if what version of Windows SIM you are using. I recommend installing x86 Windows SIM.
    For more information, please refer to the following thread:
    Parameter count mismatch - Windows SIM failed

  • What/Where is the 32-bit version of Windows System Image Manager?

    I'm running into the problem described as follows in the WAIK documentation:  "Windows SIM fails to create a catalog for a 32-bit Windows image from a 64-bit version of Windows SIM. To workaround this issue, use the 32-bit version of Windows SIM to
    create catalogs for your Windows images."
    Question: Where is the 32-bit version of Windows SIM? I can only find a single download for "The Windows® Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows® 7"
    Or are the 32-bit tools included in that version? If so, how do I use those instead?

    Hi,
    The issue should occurs when you install the WAIK on a 64bit Windows 7 machine.
    You need install WAIK on a 32bit machine.
    Different binary versions of Windows SIM cannot create catalog files for some Windows images of different architecture types. We recommend using the
    32-bit version of Windows SIM to create catalog files because this version can create catalogs for all Windows image architecture types. The following list describes the Windows SIM architecture types and catalogs that can be created for each Windows
    image architecture type.
    x86 Image Manager. Can
    create catalogs for x86, x64, and Itanium-based Windows images.
    x64 Image Manager. Can
    create catalogs only for x64 Windows images.
    Itanium-based Image Manager.
    Can create catalogs only for Itanium-based Windows images.

  • Change catalog location of Windows System Image Manager

    I can't build the catalog of my image because it takes up 20 gigs and fills the hard drive. Can I change the working directory of the program to a drive with more space?
    Tools > create catalog > select wim > cooks for about 10 minutes, and eats up all space on C:\ > fails because of lack of disk space.
    If I could make it use F:\ it could play with 400 gb instead of my ssd. And yes, the selected wim is on F:\
    Moving the executables to F:\ (imgmgr.exe and dlls) doesn't change that it wants to use C:
    Do I need to change some pagefile settings around?
    Mediocre Access 2010 | (Baby) Beginner C Sharp | OK at Active Directory (2012) | Fragmented understanding of DNS/DHCP | Laughable experience with Group Policy | Expert question asker on MSDN Forums

    Hi UpTide,
    When creating the catalog, imgmgr.exe will mount the WIM file in current user's temp folder, which is under {%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp}. See this picture:
    For the Temp file location, we could change it through the following two way:
    Navigate to Control Panel\System and Security\System, on the left side, click the
    Advanced system settings, on the Advanced tab, click
    Environment Variables at the right bottom, see:
    Edit both the TEMP and TMP file location (value input) to the same location that you wanted, click OK.
    Or
    we may edit the TEMP and TMP value with registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
    On the right pane, change the above two values with the same location.
    After that reboot to check if issue still insists.
    Best regards

    The main purpose is to download all the updates for specific system version image ,right ?
    I haven`t heared about such an official released tool to do this .
    As for the API ,I have found a tool based on this API developed by our MSDN guys to install the updates ,but I am afraid it doesn`t meet your need.

  • Install Windows System Image

    Hey everyone,
    I'm running Lion on a 2011 MBP and have a Windows System Image backed up from an older bootcamp partition I'd like to install. Is there any way to create a disc of the system image and install from that?

    You might see if you can restore it using CloneX - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads

    Please find the same in Features Removed
    or Deprecated in Windows Server 2012

  • Remote system image management

    This is more of an image management than a package management question but the appropriate forum was read-only.
    I'm looking into possibly using zen for managing software on an embedded system, but I have some requirements that I would like to know if zen is capable of handling.
    The target system is a dual boot linux box. There are 2 bootable partitions, each with a different software version. I need to be able to upload and install a linux boot image to the non-active partition and update grub to allow access to the newly unpacked image. The user can then reboot into the other partition to activate the new software. If there's a problem they can reboot back into the previous version.
    We've done this with home grown tools before but there is a desire for better integration with enterprise level management tools.
    I'm not set on handling this exactly as described, so if Zen can manage something similar I would be interested in knowing how and would consider adapting our procedure to work with Zen.
    Please cc any responses to bruce.edge<at>gmail.com

  • Window System Image Backup Fails to Back Up EFS System Partition

    I am trying to use WBADMIN to take a complete system image of my system with the following command:
    wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:[NETWORK SHARE] -include:C: -allcritical
    WBADMIN is able to create shadow copies of all the volumes on my system, but when it begins to create a backup of the EFI System Volume, it fails immediately:
    The backup operation to [NETWORK SHARE] is starting.
    Creating a shadow copy of the volumes specified for backup...

    Summary of the backup operation:
    The backup operation stopped before completing.
    The backup operation stopped before completing.
    Detailed error: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.

    Log of files for which backup failed:
    C:\WINDOWS\Logs\WindowsBackup\Backup_Error-01-02-2014_18-45-09.log
    There was a failure in preparing the backup image of one of the volumes in the backup set.
    The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.
    The system is encrypted with Bitlocker, and does not have a TPM. I am also running Carbonite, but I have disabled it and the results are the same. 
    No data is actually written to the log files either, which is strange. The GUI System Image Backup utility also provides virtually the same error. Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Try to test in WinRE to see what the result is.

  • Windows system image on dm1-4125

    Win7 provides a native facility to create a disc image at any time, in addition to the HP provided minimum system image. According to Win 7, you can restore this image by pressing f8 at boot up and following the menu. I can not get f8 to function, does anybody know if the route to system image restore via windows backup and restore will function on the dm1-4125, or has it been disabled.

    I assume that you have selected to boot from the external CD drive (esc at boot, then select the relevant boot options).  If you still can't boot then I guess your DVD must have been damaged after you created it.  You can buy a set of recovery discs from somewhere on the HP site for about £30- it's an external supplier.  I do suggest that you create a Windows 7 system repair disc and disc image as soon as possible.
    I complained about apparent errors in the software on the created recovery discs to HP, they referred me back to the retailer who said it was my responsibility to make the recovery discs and offered to replace the notebook if I thoiught it was defective.  Not a wholly satisfactory solution.
    I solved my recovery issues by removing the recovery partition, getting all partitions to be basic (not active) and fighting my way through the recovery disc to reinstall the HP factory image.  I removed the junk software and updated Windows.  After that I was able ( I don't understand why, when I couldn't previously) to run the native Windows 7 disc image option to create an image on an external HDD and to create a Windows 7 system repair CD.  I can now use Windows 7 to restore quickly an image of the windows and system partition without the hassle of removing the crapware and adding all the windows updates that follows from installing an HP factory image.  That's why I declined the option to replace the PC.
