Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Set-DiskPartition

[julien-poulain]

Hi,

I'm having this issue for some time now. I've spent time trying to debug it last summer. And now I'm getting back to it. Witjh windows 10 no issue, but the issue is consistent with WIN 11 24h2 and WIN 11 25h2.

Here is a log sample:

`

By chance, does it look like something well known ?

I'm using this version : https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/WindowsImageTools/1.9.30

I can add more details but I first wanted to ask if this is an obvious error with an obvious fix!

[julien-poulain]

I found the solution: instead of using bcdboot.exe from wim, we need to use bcdboot.exe from host. Afterward, I found out that it was fixd as well here : cloudbase/windows-imaging-tools@4a41923

When I can I'll post a merge request with a clean fix. For now, quick and dirty fix:
In Set-DiskPartition.ps1, line 387, replace with:
RunExecutable -Executable (Join-Path $env:windir "System32\bcdBoot.exe") -Arguments $bcdBootArgs @ParametersToPass

To do it properly, I think I should add a -UseHostBcdBoot switch and update code and documentation accordingly
