My system: HP 6910p laptop running Windows 7 Enterprise x64.
Trying to use 2010 to develop a x64 Windows 7 Enterprise image. I get the following error when I attempt to update the deployment share:
=== Processing LiteTouchPE (x64) boot image ===
Building requested boot image profile.
Determining if any changes have been made in the boot image configuration.
No existing boot image profile found for platform x64 so a new image will be created.
Calculating hashes for requested content.
Changes have been made, boot image will be updated.
Windows PE WIM C:\DeploymentShare\Operating Systems\Windows 7 x64\Sources\boot.wim will be used.
Unable to mount the WIM, so the update process cannot continue.
=== Completed processing platform x64 ===
=== Processing complete ===
(Does the same for the x86 portion)
I've seen the posts about not finding the correct WIMGAPI.DLL and have made sure they are the correct version in the c:\windows\system32 and C:\Program Files\Windows Imaging. I even put C:\Program Files\Windows Imaging as the first dir in my path followed by c:\windows\system32. I have full control of the share and ntfs permissions on the server. I created a new deployment share on my C: drive to eliminate the server but it does the same thing. I turned off my AV, got the same error.
Ran Sysinternals Process Monitor while I updated the deployment share and it had several entries for the wimgapi.dll. The Process Monitor operation descriptions were QueryNetworkOpenInformationFile and CloseFile for \\<Server>\deployment$\Tools\x86\wimgapi.dll This was on the server. The other operation descriptions were QueryOpen, CreateFile, QueryNetworkOpenInformationFile and CloseFile for C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\wimgapi.dll. When you look at the Process Monitor properties of both of these wimgapi.dll's the process tab shows c:\windows\system32\wimgapi.dll as the dll in memory which is the correct version. In fact, all the locations described have the correct version. I'm stumped. Anyone know how I can get this to update the deployment share?
Thanks
