Any luck with cataloging WIM Image??

Hi, Thanks for posting this info. I checked it out. But haven't been able to resolve this yet. I assume I have the lates AIK as I just downloaded it from Microsoft today !! It isn't clear on how to do this "servicing" as I already have Vista Business with SP1 on it.
Did you manage to get it resolved? Any tips appreciated.
Cheers.

Re: WAIK error 0x800F0823 during cataloging WIM image


I searched online and didn't find this solution directly, so I'm glad to
be able to post what fixed it for me.

Background:

1) I already had the latest version of WAIK installed, the version that
is supposedly compatible with Server 2008 imaging and Vista SP1. I
still ran into this problem regardless.

2) The problem I experienced, to be clear, is windows system image
manager (WSIM), a component of WAIK, not being able to find wimgapi.dll
when attempting to add a Windows image. The image in my case was server
2008 x86 and x64.

Using hints from other post that I've read via google, I see that this
dll is installed all over the WAIK installation. There are 3 versions
under c:\program files\WAIK\tools. x86, x64, & ia64. I took the x86
version of the dll, which is 321KB, and copied it to the directory
containing the WSIM executable. I close WSIM and opened it again,
tried the windows image again, and WAH LAH!!!

Re: WAIK error 0x800F0823 during cataloging WIM image


hi all,

you simply must install the last WAIK v.1.1 for SP1 of VISTA :

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en


Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows Vista SP1 and Windows
Server 2008

and you will see the version 6.0.6001.1800 in Help/About instead the
6.0.6000.16386

Rds,

Emmanuel

That wasn't the case for me. As I mentioned:

"1) I already had the latest version of WAIK installed, the version
that is supposedly compatible with Server 2008 imaging and Vista SP1. I
still ran into this problem regardless."
