Can't Open INSTALL.WIM - The specified location contains a Windows image that is not compatible with the current version of Windows.


so installed new copy of windows 2008 standard x86.  patched server latest windows updates.  want play around setting automated installed.  install windows aik kit.  opened windows system image manager , select install.wim copied source cd's \sourcesdirectory.  whenever try , select image in windows system image manager, error:

the specified location contains windows image not compatible current version of windows.

is happening because patched windows 2008 patches windows update?  telling me sensitive?  if copy clg files \sources also, message them being "out of date" , wants rebuild them , fails same message above.

what gives?


the simple answer make sure have downloaded right aik distribution.  of time of post, if googled "windows aik", first link provided vista build feb '07.  need build says includes support windows 2008  :)
