DISM Languages and International Servicing Command-Line Options not working with offline image inside container

[bewster]

I have been using the guidance in #494 to update a WinPE image.

The Add-Package works to add features and updates.

I have tried to change the language but it returns an error.

Error: 87

In the dism.log are entries:

Hi, can you provide more details on your system configuration like:

• container image version
• isolation mode
• container runtime
• host OS version

[bewster]

container image version: mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2025, 10.0.26100.3476
isolation mode: whatever the default is
container runtime: Docker Desktop 4.39.0
host OS version: Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.3476)

Point me in the right direction if that information not what you are asking for.

We haven't had the chance to look at this just yet given our large backlog. We'll let you know as soon as we have. Thanks.

If I understood correctly, using the recommendations in this link (#494) allowed you to tweak a WinPE image from within a container, right? That is good to hear.

Can you provide the specific repro steps for what is failing for you now?

Thanks!

So I take one of the latest WinPE images, based on Windows 11 and extract it using:

dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:winpe.wim /ApplyDir:c:\MOUNT_DIR /Index:1

I add the GB Language Pack:

dism /Add-Package /Image:c:\MOUNT_DIR /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\en-gb\lp.cab"

Then try and set the language:

dism /Set-AllIntl:en-GB /Image:c:\MOUNT_DIR

This results in the error message.
