    Long time no see. How are you?

    By the way, do you have any solution to do 27XXX Reconstruction? It instantly shows "completed successfuly" to no avail.

    My Host OS is 19044. Could you please test it on your 26100 Host?

    I tested it again on 26100 and 19044, both are OK (except integrity verification).

    Why? My bad about the wrong unattend xml.

    Good afternoon, can I ask a question off-topic?

    The start script is in the main folder, the executive script and everything else is in a subfolder and works fine. Task: move install.wim file from the main folder to the subfolder by the executive script and after its processing by the executive script return install.wim by the executive script back to the main folder. I will be very grateful for your help.

    Although my answer may not be useful, I'll give it.

    Can you give us a clearer context?

    What are you planning to do? Move an install.wim from one folder to another?
    Example: C:\MyScript\Install.wim to C:\MyScript\wim\Install.wim?

    Are you planning to have the batch, after performing a procedure in install.wim, move it to a folder to start another install.wim?

    Okay, what I want to do is apparently difficult to explain on my fingers. So when I finish testing my install.wim tool (a couple of days), I'll show it to you and then you'll understand what I need.
