DISM source files could not be found

I ran SFC and stumbled onto a corrupt file that it could not repair. The log shows "Cannot repair member file [l:7]'ksc.nlp' of mscorlib, version 10.0.19200.595"

I attempted to use DISM to fix this issue, but even after downloading windows media to usb and running "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:F:\Sources\install.esd:1", I'm still getting an error that the source file could not be found.

Looking at my usb, the windows file is install.esd, on my F drive, and i'm running windows home.

Is there something wrong with the command i typed, or is it something else entirely?

It is apparently more reliable if a mounted image is used as the source.
because you have an esd, the image can be exported to a .wim and then mounted.

if you mounted the wim image to folder f:\mount, then

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:f:\mount\windows


Probably an applied image would also work, but I haven't tested that:

rather than doing export to wim then mount, probably could apply the image from the esd to a folder, e.g. f:\somefolder (but needs enough space) , then

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:f:\somefolder\windows

it is also possible that mscorlib, version 10.0.19200.595 is not in your source and is from a later update, although theoretically it can be downloaded if you didn't use the /limitaccess switch.

Unfortunately i've tried it without /limitaccess, and also without designating a source and both times the result has been the same where the source file could not be found.

I attempted to export install.esd to a .wim but i guess it needs a lot more space than i expected as it turns out my 32gb thumb drive gave a error 112 "there is not enough space on the disk" so i'm retrying but using my hard drive as the destination.

Pretty annoying little issue though as i'm thinking this corrupt file might be the thing preventing acronis/macrium from imaging my drive properly.

Bob,

Use the form of the Dism command suggested in the notes about irreparable SFC errors at the end of option 3 of the SFC tutorial. And note that you must be connected to the internet when you do so [the command uses WU mechanisms to find replacement files online].

Code:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

All the best,

Unfortunately the online version has the same issue with being unable to find the source file. This is why i tried to fix it via windows image file. I converted the ESD into a WIM and put it on a hard drive as oddly despite being 4gb in size could not fit in my thumb drive with 20gb+ free, but unfortunately after using "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:\install.wim:1" I seem to still be running into the same issue. DISM will get stuck at 62.3%, then shoot to 100% with the source file error.

What's the command used to mount the WIM file?

If source files are not found using dism then perform an in place upgrade repair.

Bob,

Your choice of words makes me worry that there is some misunderstanding here.

Did you connect to the internet then run [as Admin] Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth?
This command does not produce any message about "being unable to find the source file" [because you have not specified any source file in that command].

I took a screenshot of the error. I was able to successfully mount the install.wim file but attempting to use dism with it still results in the same error.

Not sure what else to suggest unless you try replacing in manually or do a refresh.
