SaiTech Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) Hi again,I have slimed down the drivers under c:\drivers, the strange thing is that mini-setup works fine in VMware, is run just fine.I found MS KB 181171 i have tried but it did not work and I dont use -nosidgen switch..Is there more to say whay this happend../SaiTechKB 818171SYMPTOMSWhen the System Preparation tool (Sysprep.exe) Mini-Setup Wizard runs you may receive the following error message:Fatal Error: An error has been encountered that prevents Setup from continuing.Windows is unable to start because the registry could not be updated. To address this problem, please contact your computer manufacturer. Windows must now Shut Down.Press OK to view the Setup log file.Back to the topCAUSEThis problem may occur if Sysprep cannot decrypt the keys that are located in the following folders:%systemroot%\System32\Microsoft\Protect\S-1-5-18%systemroot%\System32\Microsoft\Protect\S-1-5-18\UserThis problem may also occur if you run Sysprep on Windows XP and use the -nosidgen switch.
