Vista Sysprep Fatal Erro

[scribby]

I've been trying for months to create an image using the Vista Sysprep.
We use a simple unattend.xml file; but not matter what it crashes

Here are two logs from my most current attempts

Hello,
Sounds like this issue:
929828 An error message occurs when you run "Sysprep /generalize" in
Windows Vista: "A fatal error occurred while trying to Sysprep the machine"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;929828

[scribby]

Thanks for responding. On the particular fix below, i applied the KB
put my unattend file in the c:\windows\system32\sysprep folder
Everytime i attempted to run the cmd (at elevated permissions) of

C:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /generaliz
/unattend:C:\windows\system32\sysprep\unattend.xml /shutdow

The sysprep crapped out indicating it could not locate or parse th
file. Ok...so i attempt to just ru

c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdow

here are the error logs i get now with only the "failing portion at th
bottom due to the length of it

Hello,
1) What edition are you trying to Sysprep? ( Ultimate, Enterprise, Home
Premium, etc)
2) did you create a new image?
3) What Gadgets do you have installed in SideShow which is failing? You
may want to try removing them

Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
