you need to add the license data to the PE registery..

From host, use regedit and browse to > then export
Or better yet do from within MacriumPE

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macrium\Reflect]

Thanks - I will give that a bash

I tried this and it failed still although help about showed my licence.

The Gui recovery key (48-digit key) is equivalent to the command line -RecoveryPassword switch.

Using Manage-bde command line (-help):
> Manage-bde -on D: -RecoveryKey L: -RecoveryPassword -Password

in the example, D: is the encrypting drive and L: is your USB flash drive.
It asks the password and it creates an encrypted .BEK file on your USB stick.
Save also the recovery password (the 48-digit key).

*** UnLock Drive on PE ***

- In File Explorer > Crypted drive > Right-click context menu > UnLock Drive.
Use the password or use the recovery key, the 48-digit key recovery password.

- Using Manage-bde command line (-help):
> Manage-bde -unlock D: -RecoveryKey L:\xxxx.BEK
> Manage-bde -unlock D: -Password (the password is requested).
> Manage-bde -unlock D: -RecoveryPassword 123456-... (the 48-digit password key).

may want to also export from host >

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Macrium\Reflect]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macrium\Reflect]

you should end up with from local-machine
activationcode
licencedata
hash
licensee

you should end up with from current-user
License

Again Better to Export from within macriumPE

When I try to run Image-health option 3 then 2 I get this error:

Code:

===============================================================================
  Press 0 - Use the Source:ESD:Install.esd as Repair Method ( soure:esd: )
  Press 1 - Export Install.esd to Install.wim as Repair Source ( source:wim: )
  Press 2 - Mount the Windows Image as the Repair Source ( Recommended )
===============================================================================
> Enter Your Option: 2

ERROR: Required Wimlib-Imagex Files Not Found.
Press any key to continue . . .

When I try to specify the /Source it still fails:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth fails with or without the /Source parameter.

Code:

The source files could not be found.
Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

Is the problem that DISM does not support the use of a esd file instead of a wim file?


Never mind (maybe) I just noticed option 0 anbd 1. Will try them.

verify "wimlib-imagex.exe" is in "BIN" folder in the same directory as imagehealth.cmd file
