Install Fails in WDS due to WinPEpge.sys

[cjoyce1980]

I'm trying to bring down a vista image that i have customized from my Windows Deployment Services Server. I've ran sysprep before pushing it up and know errors, but during the exaction stage i get to about 92% or 93% and the setup halts with the error code 0x80070020.

Below is the error log it creates and for some reason it can't seem to uncompress this winPEpge.sys file. The wierd thing is that i cant find this file anywhere on the hard disk after i have done a fresh install.

if i use the winPE to apply this image, its all fine. what the hell is wrong?!?

According to that hex value, the return code is "ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION" with the error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". If you run handle.exe on your box, do you see any open handles to this image while it's not being downloaded to clients? Also, are you sure your antivirus application is not scanning realtime on this server, or at least the volume that contains your images?
