Unable to open the specified WIM File

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.

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,
