Hi, today I tried to install SCVMM 2022 but I always get this error:
Could not find file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\WSIM\Microsoft.ComponentStudio.Common.dll'.
Prior to installing SCVMM 2022 all prerequisites have been completed including installation of the Windows ADK for Windows 11 version 22H2.
I'm running into this issue too. Did you ever fix it, or find a work around?
Yes, I installed both but many files are missing in given location - I uninstalled both and used ConfigMgr Prerequisites Tool 3.0.6 to install them and now everything is fine.

Thanks for your feedback.

I copied all of the .dll files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\WSIM\amd64\
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\WSIM\
and this also appears to let the installation complete.
This is a bug in the VMM installer which is hopefully being fixed.
Hi,
Have you installed the Windows PE add-on for the ADK for Windows 11?

Hi. Yes, the issue is that, in Windows Server 2022, the requested file is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\WSIM\amd64\Microsoft.ComponentStudio.Common.dll.
If you check the path, is also located under x86, arm and arm64, so it looks like that the path that VMM uses to check for the file is missing this last folder or something like that.
Edit: Confirmed. If you use the files 'adksetup.exe' and 'adkwinpesetup.exe' downloaded from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install#download-the-adk-101253981-september-2023 dll file is located under the architecture folder. If you use ConfigMgr Prerequisites Tool 3.0.6 there's no architecture folders, so dll file is located in the right place. This issue should be fixed, or at least announced in the VMM site as troubleshoot...
