Wish to correct a Source files missing problem, so need to download an ISO.
Installed is W10 1511 version 10586.164 Pro.....how can I tell whether it is ESD or WIM?
I know that downloads are as following.....M$ Media is ESD and TechNet is WIM.
I'm a little confused because you answered the question that you asked??Wish to correct a Source files missing problem, so need to download an ISO.

Does my installed version require an ESD or a WIM ISO?.....they are different.I'm a little confused because you answered the question that you asked??
Glad to help you, if I understood what you want too do
Ahhh ok you can use either one dencal, might be a tad easier with the Tech iso.....but either one will workDoes my installed version require an ESD or a WIM ISO?.....they are different.
Then just copy the install.WIM from the ISO to a partition, like E: (or any other partition you have)
then run this command:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /WIM:E:Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess
The install.wim is found in the sources folder in the ISO from Tech Bench.
Does not matter, either will work.Does my installed version require an ESD or a WIM ISO?.....they are different.
They are exactly the same. Different compression methods. ESD is smaller, faster to download.
If you use 7-zip to unzip either install.esd or install.wim, the results are the same in file size.
Thanks to you both for replies....M$ support recommend using the TechNet WIM version.
Apparently it is a known M$ problem, updating on some computers wipes out vital .dll,s and they are looking to fix it.
Many people have reported that DISM will not use the .ESD file contained in the Media Creation Tool ISO file and had to download the ISO from Tech Bench containing the .WIM file, so I always suggest just going to Tech Bench first.
No problem dencal, if you need any more help, just let us know. Mike.Thanks to you both for replies....M$ support recommend using the TechNet WIM version.
