I use NTLite to remove 64-bit Windows WinSxS, but I use 32-bit installation disc to install will display "Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file", the 64-bit installation disc doesn't have this problem.

On the contrary,using NTLite to remove 32-bit Windows WinSxS, using 64-bit installation disc to install will display "Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file", the 32-bit installation disc doesn't have this problem.

I use the third party installation tool like WinNTSetup in Windows Pre-installation environment, there will be no error.

Windows 7, 8, 8.1 ,10 all these will have the same problem.

Whether keep some additional files in the compatibility options?

Can you attach used preset?

EDIT: According to used font in NTLite screenshot, it could be by missing language depency? What language do you use? Is it Chinese / Korean / Japan or similar language with IME?

The preset contains "Windows Component Store (WinSxS)" , the installation will have the error above.

As long as it doesn't contain "Windows Component Store (WinSxS)", the installation will be successful.

EDIT: I always disable all the compatibility options.

I marge the 32-bit and 64-bit install.wim (contain two indexs) to make AIO installation ISO.

So I asked the question above :

the master is the 32-bit ISO,
32-bit index can be installed successfully, but the 64-bit index has the error.

I changed the master to the 64-bit ISO,
64-bit index can be installed successfully, but the 32-bit index has the error.
 
thats odd i always remove it and never had any problems
I try the old version NTLite, and all win7 win8 win10, have the same error.
At first I thought it was caused by update and hotfix, the integrated updates show "install pending", so I first install in virtual machine, enter the "Audit mode" to make sure the updates have install completely, and in PE capture the C: by using dism again, Then I use NTLite, and the same operation, in the end still the same error.
 
Hi,

how do I test this, is it on any ISO's boot.wim, second (setup) edition.
Just remove WinSxS and it breaks or?

Thanks.

I use it on any ISO's boot.wim, index 2 (setup), all these have the same error.

Removing only or contain "Windows Component Store (WinSxS)" , the result as the follow:
32-bit install.wim and 32-bit boot.wim -- installation successful
64-bit install.wim and 64-bit boot.wim -- installation successful
32-bit install.wim and 64-bit boot.wim -- installation error
64-bit install.wim and 32-bit boot.wim -- installation error

Not containing "Windows Component Store (WinSxS)" , the result as the follow:
32-bit install.wim and 32-bit boot.wim -- installation successful
64-bit install.wim and 64-bit boot.wim -- installation successful
32-bit install.wim and 64-bit boot.wim -- installation successful
64-bit install.wim and 32-bit boot.wim -- installation successful

Sorry, I have a lot of nonsense, but this will be more clear.
