Hey all, I've never seen these errors before when updating my deployment share, and I am hoping someone can explain what is going on here:
=== Making sure the deployment share has the latest x86 tools ===
=== Making sure the deployment share has the latest x64 tools ===
=== Processing LiteTouchPE (x64) boot image ===
Building requested boot image profile.

A bit of an update. I read the output file and it seems like the issue here had to do with a wim not being found/generated. I dug deeper into the properties of the deployment share and discovered that when I go to the WIndows PE section, I get an unhandled exception error in managed code snap-in: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\x86\WinPE_OCs'. Specifically, the WinPE folder seems to be missing from the Assessment and Deployment folder, which is causing the x86 area of the WinPE tab to bork.
I did recently update my ADK to the latest version as to resolve a restarting black screen issue when capturing an image. I'm guessing this may be the source of the problem, but I'm not sure. Thoughts?
Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
1,What version of MDT and Windows ADK you are using? Have you uninstall the Windows ADK and WinPE add-on, and then install the latest version of Windows ADK and WinPE add-on? Starting with Windows 10, version 1809, the Windows Preinstallation Environment (PE) is released separately from the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK), so we also need install WinPE add-on.

2, Maybe the error is caused by antivirus software prventing access to the files. Please disable the antivirus software and restart your MDT server to have a try. Similar thread for your reference: Getting caught by your own permissions!

Simon,
Thanks for responding. I didn't realize MS had separated the WinPE install from the ADK. Thank you for your help, it looks like that was the missing puzzle piece.
Hi,
