Even though the date is wrong, the version I downloaded from there today is the updated one. I'm thinking someone neglected to update the information on the page.
Sorry, I see from the previous post that there would be a new version of dell image assist release today 11/7/17. Is there a delay on the release? The release date from the current download on dell's site is still the one release from August 2017. I've been trying to image Windows 10 1709 and have been having many issues and came across this post that the current version of image assist is not compatible with version 1709.
Just would like to confirm, after updating to the newest version of Dell Image Assist, sysprep runs and finishes with no errors! Capture is running now.
Previous issues I've faced with sysprep phase were always to do with Windows 10 apps installed automatically (twitter, facebook, candy crush, etc). In my experience, if the app can be installed through Settings-> Apps -> Apps and features, uninstall it!
Been trying to install for days! Contacted Microsoft via Help Chat and they have tried 4 times to get 1709 to install, always seems to grind to a holt at the same point and then back pedals. Always run sfc and dism before next attempt.
My machine now unreliable, cannot start firewall and need loads of bits reinstalling because the driver or the software is damaged. I have spent more than 30 hours on this now, not including new image downloads and the like. I have a lot of software but I am creating another partition to dual boot and trying a clean install to see if 1709 will install on clean partition.
I seem to be in the same situation that occurred with the Win8.1 Upgrade, current OS defective and have to start again
Has anyone been able to update a Windows 10 1607 or 1703 maintenance image/snapshot to 1709 within the VM using a mounted ISO, then sysprep and capture using DIA?
When I do this even using the very newest DIA, i'm running into a problem where it will fail sysprep. If I check the setupact.log in sysprep\panther it mentions that the windows.contactsupport packaged was installed for a user but not provisioned for all users.
After some further investigating, it looks like this windows.contactsupport package was present in 1607 however is no longer a part of 1709 hence automatically removed as part of the upgrade.

At this time the DIA application is not supporting WIN 10 1709 until 11/07/2017 in which a new release will be updated to the DIA website.
Please check back at that time
