Hi, @Guillaume AMGAR

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

You may try to perform a repair of the Windows ADK and restart the computer to see if it helps.

Answer 2

You mean you are having trouble opening the catalog file (WIM + CLG). Did you create the catalog file?

Answer 3

I am getting the same issue.
I have used Windows SIM for years without any issue, but now I am trying to create a Windows 11 image for the first time and cannot get SIM to create a catalog file for it.
I have installed the latest version of the ADK, and it is listed in Programs & Features as 'Version 10.1.22621.1'
Every time I try to create a catalog file, it starts the process, then errors out saying 'This application requires version 10.0.22621.1'
As find as i can determine there is no 10.0.22621.1 and why would it need it any way when I'm running the latest version and I've got a Windows 11 22H2 image?
