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

    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
