Windows Image Downloader runs into error

catch22 · February 27, 2019, 5:56pm

Hey, didn’t find an answer over the search, hope this hasn’t been asked before.

So I just tried to get my hands on a Windows image following these instructions

WOA-Project/guides/blob/master/GettingWOA.md

# Getting Windows 10 ARM

1. Go to this site: <https://uup.rg-adguard.net/>
2. Enter these options:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3109851/51803240-f5528780-2252-11e9-92e8-2d80169e1131.png)
    * Please, notice the we selected the **ARM64** architecture (not to confuse with AMD64)
    * You can select a newer build if you wish. Take into account, however, that each build can have some issues. It's recommended to select builds from the R5+ branch. Build numbers like 18XXX are usually OK.
3. Click the link on the right. It will appear when you've done selecting the options. It will download a .zip file.
4. Extract the .zip file to a Folder, preferably one that doesn't contain spaces in the path, like "c:\temp\W10IsoScripts"
5. Execute the script **creatingISO.cmd** and wait for it to complete.
6. When the script has finished, you will find a **.iso** inside, as a result of the process.
7. Mount the .iso file with Windows Explorer by double clicking it.
8. Navigate to the folder x:\sources, where **x:** is the drive letter of the mounted .iso file.
9. Inside this "sources" folder you will find the **install.wim** that WoA Installer needs to deploy Windows 😃

and the downloaded .cmd file runs into an “Error work script”. Is this site just broken atm and I’m out of luck? Is there an alternative way to get my hands on a compatible image or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

I don’t think you’re supposed to share copies of windows.

This happened to me, I rebooted my computer and used another build and it worked. I think the build can’t be newer than your computer build, as some people had success after updating.

You are correct sir.If your win10 version is older than the build your trying to install it will fail,also if you are using a machine that has not been updated in a while,you will have the same issues.If you can’t install visual studios on your build,{Im not saying that it still won’t work}but I know I can’t use one of my computers to write.It has win10 but no studio.I run into the same issue on this machine.
