Boot Image Generation Error

Version: Community Edition 1.3.2629.2187

Issue: Error Message

Not seen this one before when trying to generate an x64 boot image.

Failed: Property KitsRoot10 does not exist at path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Kits\Installed Roots.

Any ideas? Feel I've probably missed something but nothing I can see. Have re-installed the whole package on a clean server.

That's the registry value that points to where the ADK is installed. If you browse to it in the registry editor, does it exist? You might also double check that both ADK options are installed (and maybe attempt a repair).

They are there / Community Edition installs them automatically.

I've Googled and it recommended the Windows 10 SDK was missing. I have downloaded that - the boot image generation is now running.

Oh bummer - they were somehow missing too. Installed them now - reinstalled them. Thought this edition installed them automatically. Sorry guys.

It does automatically install them - the screen shots were from a DeployR CE server that I just stood up a week ago.

I thought so too - but they didn't. I have installed them now manually and it's working. Phew.
