ricka182 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Trying to sysprep a Dell E6400, running Vista Enterprise, 32 bit. All standard programs installed*, patches applied, good to go. Yet, every single time I run sysprep, I get the following error : "Wdfcoinstaller1005.dll is not designed to be run on Windows, or the file is courrupt." The only thing I found online says is to just reinstall. Well it's not that simple when I have 15-20 laptops to reimage every week. The error pops-up twice, and then sysprep finishes. If I take the image anyway, I get an error while deploying it.This has been dogging me for 2 months already, and I'm nearing my wits end! It does not happen on any other model machine we have, and they are all based off the same source DVD. I even tried to copy that file from a successfully cloned machine, and it still fails.Has anyone ever seen anything like this before, or have any clue as to how to get around? I'm falling behind so far now, I literally spend 8 hours a day imaging machines one by one, and then installing a bunch of departmental programs, which leaves very little time to get my other work completed.(***Adobe Reader, Cisco VPN, and MS Office Communicator.)

Tripredacus Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Are you using the custom USB drivers? I read there are two versions of wdfcoinstaller1005.dll, x86 and x64. Make sure you are using the correct one. There is a big topic about it here, but frankly I'm not too familiar with its purpose:https://www.osronline.com/ShowThread.cfm?link=112087Alternatively, you may want to check for any of the log files in either of the Panther folders (including the CBS log files) to see if we can get a better error. And because I just remembered, are you updating Windows Media Player before sysprep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
