I am having the same issue on Server 2019 Std. Any one have a fix for this yet?
I have tried the following commands:
dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
sfc /scannow
They all succed with 100% and no errors. then once I run the installation, it comes back with no source found.. even if I provide source file from the wim or from another server, same issue.. very frustrating..
