Assist in building a tailored Windows installation.
Hello, I'm facing a problem with our imaging server. I'm attempting to install Windows 10 Education with all required software, but I keep seeing the error "Windows Could Not Display The Images Available For Installation." After a crash, I restored the original install.esd file from a backup ISO and it worked. I also canceled my first installation attempt while creating the new install.esd, expecting it to be smooth. If anyone has suggestions on what might be causing this issue, I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks! --UPDATE-- The same problem appears with a fresh custom install.esd file.
Have you explored using WDS or MDT? Since no options are available, I’m checking if the source type might be affecting results. It’s possible it was downloaded from a volume licensing site, which has generally been reliable before.
We haven't utilized WDS or MDT at this stage. Currently, we lack access to a Windows server, though I’m not prevented from booting one for a quick snapshot. We planned to create an answer file from a captured image using the Windows 10 ADK before launching a Server VM. Uncertain if this approach will produce any outcomes, but we might end up building our own boot server if needed. Regarding your second point, I downloaded the ISO via the Windows Media Creation Tool (WMCT), which offers options to generate a bootable USB or download an ISO. I used rufus with the ISO and achieved consistent results.
