DISM giving error 1812

I am running WDS for deployment of windows 10 and I would like to keep the wim files up to date with windows updates. When I mount the file using the following command I get the following results. I have looked up error 1812 and what I am finding it is telling me that my file is damaged. I know this is not the case because I just created the file using the capture in WDS. Also when I look in the folder that the file is suppose to mount to it is empty. If I try to mount again it state that something is already mounted in the folder.

DISM.EXE /MOUNT-WIM /WIMFILE:E:\RemoteInstall\Images\SX\2019-q370.wim /INDEX:1 /MOUNTDIR:e:\MOUNT

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.14393.3750

Mounting image

Error: 1812

The specified image file did not contain a resource section.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

windows-server-2016 windows-server-setup

Hi,

Try to add quotation marks to check again.

Here is a link about how to use the command, try to check it.

I have tried it with and without quotes. There was no difference. When I run the command it looks like it is working until is say "Mounting image". I take about a min to get to this point. After it say that it take about another min before is give the error 1812.

Hi

I resolved some errors for advanced task for DISM for slipstreaming an OS by using the console that the Windows Assessment and Development Kit (ADK) make available.

I didnt got the same error than you, I used to get an empty mount point too, but another error code.

I dont know exact why, but the DISM was able to do it job from inside that command prompt. I guess it load some module to have it work.

Hope it help

Download and Install Windows Assessment and Development Kit (ADK) from Microsoft and start the file; C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /k "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\DandISetEnv.bat" Which make DISM bypass some error, it's what I mean.
