Error Unable To Find Setup Needed To Install The Image
Unable to find SETUP, needed to install the image Categories: MDT February 7, 2012 Hi guys, While configuring MDT 2010 today I struggled a bit with a strange issue. I've installed a server with MDT 2010 RU1 on it, latest WAIK and WDS on it to do a network installation. Once I captured an image from my source computer I imported the image to the MDT deployment share, created a task sequence that deploys it and start my target computer with a network boot. The target computer connected to my network share succesfully and it presented with the deployement wizard I previously created. Once the deployement wizard started, it failed with the following error: To better understand the issue, I opened the BDD.log file and found the following: ERROR - Unable to find SETUP, needed to install the image \\Servername\DeploymentShare$\Operating Systems\Image.wim ZTI ERROR - Non-zero return code by LTIApply, rc = 1 Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005 After cracking my head a bit I found the solution – when I imported the image I chose ‘Setup and Sysprep files are not needed' When in fact, I had to choose ‘Copy Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008…' and point it to the previously imported original Windows 7 Installation files, like that: After the import I updated my DeploymentShare and the rebooted my target pc, this time all went well!

There's a lot of really bad MDT documentation out there, full of assumptions and frustrating half-explanations. Thanks for posting screens and actually explaining what you did!

I was trying to deploy Windows 7 and it reads as if I DONT need to copy these files but sure enough if I check this option it works. Yury May 1, 2012 at 13:28 (UTC 2) Link to this
13 via MDT 2010 and USB flash media. In that setup, I was deploying W7 from the source media. However, Microsoft updates was absolutely killing my deployment time, adding nearly 30 minutes to the deployment. To combat this, as I have in the past, I decided to capture a custom image with Office 2010 and all current Microsoft updates installed. After capturing my image and adding it to my deployment, I updated my selection profile, then updated my flash media. However, upon attempting to image the XPS 13, the deployment failed after the Injecting Drivers task and I was presented the following http://www.itbl0b.com/2012/02/error-unable-to-find-setup-needed-to.html error: ERROR - Unable to find SETUP, needed to install the image ImageName.wim. The reason for my confusion was I have deployed four other custom images in the past using nearly the exact same method and they all worked like a charm. In short, the reason this error occurred was I had selected the option "Setup and Sysprep files are not needed" when importing the operating system. Why was this never required http://zakstech.blogspot.com/2012/05/mdt-error-deploying-custom-images-via.html before? After some searching, I found a forum post by Johan Arwidmark, in which he went into more detail. As it turns out, when MDT attempts to deploy an image, if there are no setup files with the image, it will look elsewhere in your deployment share to attempt to locate the needed files. If you have previously imported the W7 source files, it will use the setup files from there. In my situation, I had removed the source files from my USB flash media to save disk space. The solution: Re-import the custom wim. Select "'Copy Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or later setup files from the specified path." and select the path to your source files. ex. ..\DepShare\Operating Systems\Win_7_Ent_SP1 Update your operating system selection for your Task Sequence. Open your task sequence properties, then click the "Task Sequence" tab. Expand the "Install" section, then click on "Install Operating System". Click the "Browse" button under "Operating system to install". Select the OS you just imported and apply the changes to your task sequence. Now just update your flash media and you should be ready to go.
