windows-startup-script-url: Message: Either the Name or Index parameter is required

[kudrew]

I'm following the steps here: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images/creating-custom-windows-byol-images#building

and my cloud build steps are failing because I'm not passing in $edition.

But it's able to print it out in the line before: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-tools/blob/master/daisy_workflows/image_build/windows/bootstrap_install.ps1#L203

Here is here my cloud build fails

Check this line :

compute-image-tools/daisy_workflows/image_build/windows/windows-10-21h2-ent-x64-uefi.wf.json

Line 77 in a6f9243

"edition": "Windows 10 ENTERPRISE",

Your logs show the edition value is Windows10Enterprise . This must be your workflow (.json) file problem.

The edition's value shall match one of the supported editions in the iso file (Check `source\install.wim[1].xml)

The error is coming from the output of Expand-WindowsImage, which is it's way of saying the provided Name or Index didn't match what it found on the ISO.

So as @rezaatthalesgroup is spot on that your edition string is likely incorrect.

List images that are contained in a WIM or VHD file has information on how to get the image names in a wim.

Get-WindowsImage can also be used to list the images. Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath "c:\imagestore\install.wim"
