Sysprep Error with Vista
Resolving an error that can occur when sysprepping a Vista computer
If you try and run sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdown on a Vista reference system and get the following error message:
“System Preparation Tool has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available”
and the following event in your event logs:
Event ID 1000 Source: Application error Faulting application sysprep.exe
Then you’ve probably got a third-party driver issue. One case I heard of involved the SoundMax Audio Driver, which had to be uninstalled from the reference system before sysprep would work properly on the machine.
