Bigbrit Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I have been using Sysprep for about 2 years, I create an image, "Reseal" it and useit for XP Home installs, all on the same mobo etc., really basic stuff.My last 4 attempts give me an "msoobe.exe application error" as the PC starts up.(The exception unknown software exception (0x06d007e) occured etc.)I am able to create my image on the server after Sysprep but the above happens after Restore.I know "msoobe.exe" is the dreaded WGA crap, it gets in during the post install as I am installingall my other stuff. Short of keeping the NIC unplugged, is there any other way to fix this.Is there a version of Sysprep that knows about WGA ???WGA is there to stop piracy, I know that. But Microsoft should test this stuff with their own products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Did you use the -activated switch?I wouldn't immediately rush into blaming WGA. Msoobe existed before WGA. Is WGA involved in WPA? Does the msoobe software exception error occur as a result of invalid product key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 That error message means one of two things when run by msoobe.exe - either it's trying to connect to a machine that isn't listening (NMERR_REMOTE_NOT_A_SERVER) or it couldn't find a module needed to complete the operation it was running at the time (ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND).I'd say it's likely the latter, but a network trace should show you what it's trying to do over the wire if you're that interested in tracking it down - a second machine attached to the same hub (not switch!) should show you what is happening over the wire.
