I have the correct sysprep files as I downloaded them from Microsoft for xp sp2 and I also tried the ones we always use and both don't work. They are also copied to c:\sysprep.
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI've created a cd from config manager 2007 to capture an image. When I put the cd in my test machine I get the following message: "Sysprep files are not found in the local machine. Please copy them to c:\sysprep." I have them copied along the sysprep.ini, am in a workgroup and have no password or complex password restrictions on the local admin account.
Thanks

The files you require are
setupcl.exe
sysprep.exe
sysprep.inf (optional)
and they must be copied to the %systemdrive%\Sysprep Directory
If this still fails, make sure you have the correct Sysprep Version as there are were a number created, i.e. Windows 2000, XP, XP SP2 etc...
