Say you’re planning on deploying Windows Vista and you’ve prepped your reference computer and are ready to capture its image. You try using the following command:
imagex.exe /compress fast /capture c: c:\image_name.wim “Blah” /verify
Then you get the following error: “Windows cannot access the required file image.wim”
What’s wrong? You forgot to specify which edition of Vista you’re capturing! The correct command should look something like this:
imagex.exe /compress fast /capture c: c:\image_name.wim “Blah” /flags Enterprise /verify
