Fatal Error Occurred while trying to sysprep

Date July 14, 2016 Author By kadmin Category Windows 7

1. Go to Sysprerp folder i.e.  c:\windows\system32\sysprep\Panther
2. Then move or delete all contents of the Panther folder to another folder for backup purpose.
3. Now run the sysprep.exe

For few user’s sysprerp starts by stopping  mediaplayer process running and by uninstalling & installing mstdc. For me everything without success but above steps works 100%.

UPDATE –

1. Go to C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep folder & edit Unattend.xml file & delete skiprearm=1.
2. Open Registrey Editor & Set GeneralizationState to 7 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\SysprepStatus\
3. Open Command Prompt as Adminitrator & run below commands,

msdtc -uninstall

msdtc -install

4. Open Registrey Editor & Set SkipRearm to 1 Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\

Try to run Sysprep

5. Net stop WMPNetWorkSvc
6. Try to run Sysprep
