Notes to self as I navigate the Microsoft BDD 2007 Process
Trying to build a Reference image I ran into the Red Screen of Death on boot after building a Lite Touch image for Capture.
Building Reference image using Lite Touch – Deploy.cab issue
Error message:
Deploy.cab is older than Windows Source files. using older versions of Sysprep is not Supported.
The solution was to download a newer set of Deployment tools from Microsoft than ship with XP SP2, extract them and copy to the build server.
Details on the solution here:
