Hi All,
I'm trying to sysprep this enterprise 64bit image so I can take an image of it with imagex. I run sysprep /generalize /audit /shutdown /unattend:e:\unattend.xml
I get an error, of which more detail is shown in the setuperr.log:

I disabled sideshow by using gpedit.msc and rebooting. I still get the error. Any thoughts? And no it's not related to running out of rearms, I have 3 left :)
