Windows 2008R2 DVD - Sources\install.wim

Greetings. I'm looking to extract files from the Windows Server 2008R2 d:\system\install.win folder. I can access it fine, but can't seem to know what each folder (1-8) matches what version of Windows. In other words, I want to select the correct file versions in the DVD for Windows 2008R2 64 bit. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you have.

Cheers, Rick

  • Get the Error Message When you try to reinstall Vista: Windows cannot open the required file: E:\Sources\install.wim

    I'm trying to reinstall windows vista for the following reasons:

    1. I have SQL Server 2008 installed on my computer.  I deleted some files a long time ago and it screwed something and I couldn't reinstall.
    2. I had partitioned my hard drive for vista half and half SuSE and I deleted who and when I did, I think I deleted another partition - my recovery partition (E:\?).
    3. I need to clean my laptop.

    When I try to start the installation of a disk and I put in my product key, I get the following error:

    Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\install.wim.  The file does not exist.  Make suure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.  Error code: 0 x 80070002.

    Let me know if you have any ideas how I can fix it.  My next step was to recreate this E directory and download the install.wim file and re start the installation.  I could not find the file install.wim well.

    Hi Rob,

    I checked the link you provided.  What you downloaded was just the Vista recovery environment.  You cannot actually re - install Vista with that and if you blew your recovery partition unfortunately you may be out of luck.  You blew your partition containing Vista runs so the SFC will be of no help either.  I wish I had better news for you, but I don't see any way o get on without a Vista DVD.  I have good news for you if.  When you get your HP drive if you have problems with the installation, we will be able to help you with that.

    Take care and let us know if you need assistance when the disc arrives. Locutys of Borg

    Hi JRCLNSIN100,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         What is the disk you use to reinstall?

    ·         Is this a recovery or reinstalling the disc you are using?

    ·         When exactly do you get this error message?

    ·         What is the edition of Windows Vista, you try to install?

    ·         How old is the drive that you are using?

    ·         How are you starting the installation process?

    After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

    First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

    To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

    To perform a flat installation of Windows Vista, follow these steps.

    Note The hard disk must have at least 3 GB of free space on the disk for the Windows Vista installation files. The hard disk must have at least 15 GB of additional disk space to install Windows Vista. For more information about system requirements for Windows Vista, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/editions/SystemRequirements.mspx

    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.
    2. Start Windows Explorer.
    3. In Windows Explorer, click to select the drive for the Windows Vista installation disc.
    4. On the Edit menu, click select all.
    5. On the Edit menu, click copy.
    6. Click to select the hard disk you want to contain the flat installation files.
    7. On the file menu, point to new, click the folder, type Windows Vista Setupand then press ENTER.
    8. Double-click the Windows Vista Setup program, and then click Paste on the Edit menu.
    9. Double-click Setup.exe, and then follow the instructions that appear.

    See the link below for more information on flat installation.

    This problem can also occur if the firmware of the DVD drive is defective or obsolete.

    If the step above does not resolve the question suggests that you install the latest drivers for the DVD player on the computer.

  • recover my system. used to install Windows Vista. get the message cannot open the file E:\Sources\Install.wim. Also the code error 0 x 80070002

    So all this started because I tried to clean my computer to give to a friend. I tried refomatting the hard drive, but something was wrong here. After that, when I turn on the computer I get a black screen with message Bootmgr missing. I read a little inside and saw that I could download a Windows Vista recovery disk because my computer did not come with one.
    After that I downloaded and burned the ISO image to a CD, things started looking better. I got to the screen when you select the language and keyboard. Then install windows screen. My options there were 'Install now' and 'repair your computer '. When I try to install, I put in my product key that seems fine. The next message I get is "Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\Install.wim. The file does not exist. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. "Error code: 0 x 80070002.
    When I try to repair, he said "select an operating system to repair, and then click Next."

    If you do not see your operating system listed, click on load drivers to load the drivers for your hard drives. I try to select Windows Vista retrieved and clicked Next, but what is said "this version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of windows that you want to repair" or get a recovery of tools such as repair system, System Restore, complete pc windows, tool windows and command promy memory diagnostic restoration. the only problem is he says operatins system: (unknown) unknown local disk...

    This isn't an installation disc. It's a record of startup repair!
    You use the repair disk option, not Install.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11; Acer is in some models Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Updated to XP SP3, get the error "Windows 8 Installation failed" and shows "Failed during installation install.wim"

    I constantly get this error when you try to install Win 8 on XP (SP3). He gets 47% full, and died with the newspaper showing:

    : Error ApplyWIMCallback CONX application C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Windows.NEW\Windows\assembly\NativeImages_v4.0.30319_32\System.Xml\9ba07396ae369d010c5c3927a82ef426\System.Xml.ni.dll. RULE [605] [gle = 0x0000025d]

    I did all the things that have been proposed in other posts:
    -removed the virus checker
    -installed any software encryption
    -no special disc running utilities
    -Windows Update
    -run the command chkdsk
    -clean boot (all the services package disabled).

    Any suggestions as to what I can try?

    Boot from the DVD Windows 8
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • cannot read the source file or disc for install.wim when file copying.

    I'm doing a windows 7 bootable from a USB key, and when copying files every thing goes more except for the install.wim

    I get the error message "cannot read the source file or disk.

    I checked there is enough space on the disk, and I also tried copying from disk to my office, same question.

    I tried using the command line to move the file and get an "Access denied" error message, which I believe is the root cause as to why I can't move the file in the first place.

    I am trying to reinstall windows 7, but the disc is scratched and so he worked not by ordinary means, so I was going to try to use my USB, but it is not copying the install.wim file on. What should I do? Is it possible to download?

    Go to this link and download the ISO for your version of Windows 7.  Then burn it to a DVD and use your license key.

  • Can I remove install.wim or c:\windows\installer?

    I bought a new Dell Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and I have the Windows 7 installation disc.  I've implemented the system with all my files from the user to the old system and and saved with Acronis.

    Audit of the use of space is a 3.3 GB install.wim in the c:\Apps\osmedia\sources directory.  The directory or this file can be deleted?  After a search, this seems to be essentially the installation disc.

    There is also a directory containing 3.4 GB called c:\Windows\Installer.  Can it be deleted?  After a search I think I can't

    TIA

    Did you by chance look in "uninstall a program" and see if you have a program called by chance "A Media Source"?

    This program contains probably the applications or something in that sense that the manufacturer has installed on the computer.

    You the best solution to remove unwanted software on a computer is through the method "uninstall a program". Just delete the files and folders can cause serious complications on the road.

    How can I integrate Windows 7 SP1 in a NON - SP1 install.wim

    I have a little experience with DISM but can't seem to get SP1 inserted into a NON - sp1 install.wim file.

    I did a lot of research, and the greater part of the answer of all seems them to start with a disc of sp1.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jhein,

    Rather than add the SP1 version for .wim files, you can get the latest ISO of Windows 7 SP1 from this link. Instructions for installing Windows 7 SP1 can be found here.

    If you really want to change the install.wim from your original installation media, it would be better to post your query on support of Windows 7 IT Pro TechNet forums .
