About this tag
The wsim tag on WindowsForum.com covers Windows System Image Manager (WSIM), a tool used to create unattended answer files and manage catalog files for Windows deployment. Discussions include troubleshooting errors like "Windows SIM was unable to generate a catalog" or "Parameter count mismatch" when generating .clg files, often encountered in MDT or when editing Unattend.xml. Users also seek guidance on capturing .wim images after sysprep and creating answer files for automated installations, such as configuring a reference Windows 7 PC to prompt only for a computer name. The tag focuses on practical deployment workflows and common WSIM issues.
