Your instruction works, but it also works without the "mkdir R:\Recovery\WindowsRE" command.

Why is the command "mkdir R:\Recovery\WindowsRE" in your instructions?

All,
If you have problem, you can find some info if you look at the ReAgent.log file - C:\Windows\Logs\Reagent

Here's an example - no problems.

reagentc /enable ---> "Operation Successful"
...

Then it doesn't matter if /target is specified or not.

By the way, I never use the /setreimage option.

I just use the following commands.

reagentc /info ---> "Windows RE status: Enabled"...

reagentc /setreimage /?

Sets the location of the custom Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) image.

REAGENTC.EXE /setreimage /path <dir_name> [/target <dir_name>] [/logpath <file_path>]
...

Do not do the below if you have BitLocker enabled.

edit:

ReAgent.log - C:\Windows\Logs\Reagent

With no recovery partition (or recovery partition is too small) when you run "reagentc /enable" it creates the recrovery environment in C:\Recovery. So now you can run KB5034441 update.

I found another way on the internet to solve this issue. There is no need to modify the boot.wim. You just need to place the autounattend.xml file on the root of your media.
