Two things there. First, are you sure you have an install.wim and not an install.esd? Look in your Source folder and check. You can use either, but the command line is different for each. Use the appropriate option:

/Source:wim:<path_to_source_files>\install.wim:1
/Source:esd:<path_to_source_files>\install.esd:1

Second, the index. You need to use the right one for the edition of Windows you are trying to repair (Home or Pro). These commands will list all the editions and their index numbers that are in your install.wim or install.esd

dism /Get-WimInfo/Source:wim:<path_to_source_files>\install.wim
dism /Get-WimInfo/Source:esd:<path_to_source_files>\install.esd

What am I doing wrong? I cannot get this command to work.
dism /Get-WimInfo/Source:wim:g:\sources\install.wim

I think you need a space before /Source - something like:

Code:

dism /Get-WimInfo /Source:wim:g:\sources\install.wim

dism /Get-WimInfo/Source:wim:g:\sources\install.wim

Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:<path-to-install.wim>
Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:<path-to-install.wim> /index:<Index #>

Good stab, but not yet. I don't think /Source is a valid option here.

This has always worked for me in the past. It also works for install.esd.

Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:<path-to-install.esd>
Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:<path-to-install.esd> /index:<Index #>

Yes, the correct option here is /Wimfile. You can use /? after an option to get the relevant help text.

Code:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /get-wiminfo /?
