WAIK 6.0.5472.5 compatibility with Windows Vista Build 5492

I'm currently using WAIK (Version 6.0.5472.5) and trying to open a Windows
Vista Build 5492 WIM to generate the catalog file. I receive the error "The
operation failed to complete".

Looking through the log file, I see the error: "There was an error
generating a catalog file for image Windows Vista RC1 5492..." further
explained with "System.InvalidOperationException: The operation failed to
complete. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has
been thrown by the target of an invocation" and similar other lines denoting
some sort of exception induced by the process.

I was having the same problem with a previous WAIK / Vista combination and
could not solve it until a new WAIK was released. As there is no new WAIK for
Windows Vista Build 5492, I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

Unfortunately, Vista 5492 was only released to a very select group of
entities, so the chances of you finding someone on this newsgroup who can
answer your question is remote.

If MS did not make available an update to WAIK that allows it to work with
your build, I can't think of any way to make it work... obviously it is
having some major issues if it is throwing unhandled exceptions.

Hello,
Correct. The version of the Windows AIK needs to match the version of the
wim you are trying open.
So you are limited to using that version of the Windows AIK with build
5472.5.
Thanks,

I'm using Vista build 5728 with BDD 2007 and I have the same problem (error
code 0xC015001A).
Has anybody any ideas?
