Windows 7 Installation - Transfer to a New Computer

Repair install as described in this tutorial is considered as an in-place upgrade, so if you have repaired Windows by booting with install media and re-installed on top of existing system keeping your apps and files, you can no longer sysprep.

I believe I never run In-Place upgrade to repair W7. I run "Repair" many times after booting to W7 setup DVD. Whatever the reason, it appears that I cannot use sysprep.
I guess there is no way around it.

Trying to transfer HD to new MB but getting dreaded "a fatal error occurred while trying to sysprep the machine"

Tried stopping wMPnetworksvc but that doesn't do it, googled a bit and ended up fiddling with cleanup state and geleralization state values in system registry but that did nought.

These are the error logs

2013-04-17 19:55:47, Error [0x0f0085] SYSPRP LaunchDll:Could not load DLL C:\Windows\SysWOW64\iesysprep.dll[gle=0x000000c1]
2013-04-17 19:55:47, Error [0x0f0070] SYSPRP RunExternalDlls:An error occurred while running registry sysprep DLLs, halting sysprep execution. dwRet = 193[gle=0x000000c1]
2013-04-17 19:55:47, Error [0x0f00a8] SYSPRP WinMain:Hit failure while processing sysprep cleanup providers; hr = 0x800700c1[gle=0x000000c1]

Can anyone help please

It's because you have IE10!!

Thanks, but...

"Cannot edit the reg value"

Be gentle I am a noob

put psexec.exe in folder c:\windows\system32
psexec can be found on http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s...rnals/bb897553
Now open an elevated command prompt Elevated Command Prompt

Now type:

Code:

psexec -i -s regedit

Now regedit opens? It runs as user system. Can you edit the values now?
New 3 values must be C:\Windows\System32\iesysprep.dll,Sysprep_Cleanup_IE

You got sysprep to work in an upgraded Windows without issues?

Nice!
