When updating the MDT Deployment share I get the following error.

Unable to open the specified WIM File

=== Making sure the deployment share has the latest x86 tools ===

=== Processing LiteTouchPE (x86) boot image ===

Building requested boot image profile.

Hi @Kieron Neal ,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

What version of Windows ADK you are using? If it is ADK for Windows 11, the workaround is to copy amd64 folder (default path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment) and then change the name to x86.

Similar threads for your reference:

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
