Not able to create WIM Catalogue from 64 bit SIM

Hi All,

I tried to open my 32 bit customized WIM file from WAIK SIM(on windows 7 64 bit operating system). However it was failed to create a Catalogue for that WIM.

Root cause: My SIM is part of 64 bit WAIK tool and Windows will not support. WE can only open 64 bit WIM files using 64 bit SIM. In case of 32 bit SIM, we can open both 32 bit and 64 bit WIM files.

Regards,
Sugu
