I just ran into an error while using WSIM to build/generate the Catalog File.
I believe it is due to the OSBuild of my target machine and the OSBuild of the source install.wim being different.
I am using ADK for Windows 10, version 1903 which says "You can use this version to deploy Windows 10, version 1909 as well."
I am using version 10.0.18362.1 of the Windows ADK as the error log states.
I am sure that since my builds are different that's why I am getting the error. Can anyone confirm?
Would be best to create ISO from Windows Media Create Tool for Build 2004, fresh install on target machine & extract Build 2004 install.wim and try loading/generate the Catalog File again.
See images & logs.

I appreciate your help!
Thank you!
The OS version doesn't have to match. 1903 has had some issues so installing the update as JennyFeng pointed out is something to do. You can also go back and install an older version of the ADK like 1809 and the catalog creation will work just fine.
Also note: a 64-bit catalog can only be created in 64-bit Windows OS.

I will install Build 2004 and use latest ADK.
I will report back if I have any issues. Thanks!!
Only using x64.
Using up to date stuff worked out, was able to generate the catalog file and create the answer/unattend file. Some customization settings I set up on WSIM did not transfer onto the image. I know that the application Zoom did not, could be that Zoom did not install with admin rights and was running from AppData or temp source not program files?
If you created a distribution share and included the zoom installer in something like \$1\setup, make sure that when you created the configuration set that you pointed to the correct path to the distribution shares $OEM$ Folder. The resulting configuration set should have the installer in it. Assuming that the installer is running on a Pss 7 Synchronous command, you need to make sure that the image will boot into an Administrator account since Pass 7 sync commands will only run in an Administrator account.
There are several websites and youtube videos that cover what you are trying to do. There is also my book: https://annabooks.com/Book_SGWin10IoTE.html

Hi,
Please refer to the Windows System Image Manager known issue:
When using Window System Image Manager (SIM), you might encounter errors if the ADK is installed on a device running a 64-bit version of Windows. To create unattended Windows Setup answer files on a 64-bit version of Windows, download the WSIM 1903 update, and follow the included installation instructions.

Hope above information can help you.
