“The system is not fully installed.” After sysprep.

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

This apparently is due to installing Windows Media Player 11 before sysprep.

This resolution is partially from Microsoft’s recommeded work around. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320279

  • Boot from Bart’s PE or some other custom PE
  • Load REGEDIT
  • Select HKEY_USERS
  • File.. Load Hive..
  • Browse to the \WINDOWS\System32\Config\System on the installed system.
  • Name the hive “TempSystem” or whatever you like
  • Open theĀ Setup key on the newly loaded hive and locate SystemSetupInProgress.
  • Change the data from 1 to 0.
  • Unload the Hive
  • Reboot to Safemode
  • Remove Windows Media Player 11
  • Reboot to Normal Mode
