Thank you, this worked for me. The best and clearest instructions I've found for using DISM to fix a Windows installation. Brilliant, thank you again.

Note for people getting error 2. My disk letters swapped for some reason. My C: became d: so i changed the image drive accordingly to /image:D:\

Waiting to see if it can fix my problem but anyway thanks for the video, it's the best explanation on how to use DISM I've found anywhere.

For those getting error 87, check to see if you have a space between the /wimfile: and where the x:\sources\ begins. Mine looked like "/wimfile: x:\sources\" I simply backspaced the "x" so it looked like "/wimfile:x:sources\" and it worked.

I really don't understand why there's no way to automate all this... Thanks for the help!

Great tutorial. Unfortunately, it's not working for me. DISM starts to run, but quickly fails with a 0x800f0801 error. I've triple-checked my syntax and the drive letter assignments. Any suggestions?

Clearly my Windows 11 Home install is extra corrupt because I get Error 50: "DISM does not support servicing a Windows Vista RTM or earlier operating system"

It is the best instructions I've seen from the many I found. unfortunately for me, I get error: 1392

Thanks for this. I get error code 87 "the cleanup-image option is unknown." Do you have any suggestions?

Dear friend. I performed your video instructions using the win10 version on a USB device. I receive the message below: "Error: 50

DISM does not support servicing a Windows Vista RTM or earlier operating system.
If the operating system is supported check that SSShim.DLL is present."
Please, any suggestions about this message. Thanks!!!!
