Hi, I’m usually creating WIM files for large software like SolidWorks for example. It usually works well but for some of them, I get the following error. This one is for SAP but I have the same error for Autodesk apps. I don’t understand what this side-by-side configuration means. [image] Doe…

Most common occurence for that error used to be Microsoft VC++ Redistributables missing… but I think only the earlier 2005/2008 versions used WinSxS. As the error suggests, sxstrace.exe can help you track down which file it’s trying to find, Procmon might show it also.

OK but it would be the case also when the app is not in a WIM file don’t you think? I only happen when the app is packaged in a WIM file

What’s line 221 in Deploy-Application.ps1? How are you running the WIM file and why?

Hi, Hope you’re ok. Line 221: Write-Log -Message "##### Installing $($appVendor) $($appName)" -Severity 1 -Source $deployAppScriptFriendlyName Execute-Process -Path "$($dirFiles)\Sources\Setup\$($appFileEXEx64)" -Parameters "$($appInstallEXEParameters)" -IgnoreExitCodes '129,130,144,…

I’m guessing some files are not found when you mount the Wim files. Try to mount the Wim file and compare its content to the source files. Some thing that are bothering is why you need to define those variables and what’s this Import-Module stuff? PSADT doesn’t have PowerShell modules yet (That V4…

Look into making an admin image and just use the startswimstall. I also use WiM files as well. Its literally the best thing to use .

Can you point me to this? Have you tried with SAP or Autodesk software? At the moment, my other WIM files are working correctly. I only have these problems with those 2 editors.

:frowning: Files are exactly the same in the original directory and the mounted wim file [image] I don’t understand what you mean with the Import-Module stuff. The comment in the AppDeployToolkintWim.ps1 file is not mine. I’m defining variables because I love working with variables. I only need…

Sorry, I was mobile, and didn’t have the ability to explain more. First off, the extension I use is GitHub - LFM8787/PSADT.WIMFile: Extension for PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit to create and handle .WIM files. . This works wonders. Now I will say that I do not use it to create WIM files. I simply …

SolidWork is ok for me. I’ve been able to use the script I described in my previous reply. And this script doesn’t do anything else than what you’re doing manually: function Global:New-WIM { param( [ValidateSet("Max","Fast","None")] [string]$CompressionType = "Max", [str…
