Windows could not collect information for [OSImage] since the specified image file [install.wim] does not exist

CA ICAI Windows 7

 After searching thousands of websites (suggesting problems in CD write speed or corrupt image etc etc) i was amazed  that the answer was so simple and required a little common sense...

In your entire folder you must be having a 3-4 GB wim or iso file named as Win7Hom or Win7Ent or Win7Ult

All you have to do is to rename that file (i.e Win7Hom or Win7Ent or Win7Ult) into install and make sure that it is placed in a same folder from where you are running the setup..

That's it... Your windows will now install perfectly.....

Try it

  1. Thank you my dear friend. Your tips is absolutely perfect. Actually when I've tried to extract the ISO file through MagicISO to my local drive and then burn the renamed folder WIN7Pro at speed 4X, its install smoothly.
