Image assist 11.1.1.4 not working with new Windows 11 24H2 pro

Hi!

I have the same problem!

Same here. Trying to create 24H2 image. Getting appx failed message

Same issue here! Can't seem to get past the appx error when building my 24H2 image.  Has anyone had any luck with this? Any workarounds?

Also, does anyone know when the latest version of Dell ImageAssist is coming?

@Phish1973​ The current version just came out in June.  Hopefully if its the actually software they spin out another version soon.

They just released 11.1.2.4. I didn't test it yet but they said it should resolve the issue.

I made it further this time. But now i got this bit locker message in the logs.  Telling me that it is on  the OS volume and needs to be shut off.

for the bitlocker issue i just ran   manage-bde -off C:

It captured image after that.

‎Workaround: BitLocker prevents Sysprep on VM in 24H2 | DELL Technologies

I'm trying to do this on a hyper-v client, and I'm still getting the same error. Bitlocker is not active, and I have tried removing any apps.

Where do I find the logs from IA that will tell me what is preventing it to run?

Thanks!

Hi again.

I found where the logs are saved: C:\Windows\Panther\DTRI\Logs\ImageAssistX.log

And looking at the log, it seems IA is unable to load something called: System.Security.Principal.Windows

Anybody got a suggestion on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Oh, and I'm using version 11.1.2.4 which I believe is the latest.

Try the accepted response on this post. It worked for me.

‎‎Impossible To Run ,error package Windows.DevHome | DELL Technologies

I had to cancel the install the first time, then retry. Run the check again and it should work.

Thanks, but my issue is not with that Dev Home app, or any other app for that matter. It fails with no more info than to contact Dell Imaging help desk. Well, maybe this forum isn't the right place after all?

Checking the log, I find this error which indicates it's the actual Image Assist software that can't find all resources needed:

Dell.ImageAssist.Common.ExceptionHandling.ImageAssistException: Error while executing PowerShell script.
System.Management.Automation.CmdletInvocationException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Security.Principal.Windows, Version=4.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.

@Bruteforcer​ - that error occurs when you try to run an unsupported version of Image Assist in 24H2. 11.1.2.4 is the first release that includes support for 24H2. Upgrading to the latest version will resolve this.

Thanks,

Tyler
