Sysprep window appears after each reboot
I have installed System Preparation Tool in my system and since installing it i am getting its window pops up. When i click on cancel then it goes away and when i click on "ok" then it results in fatal error. I wanted to know if there is a way by which i can get rid of System Preparation Tool window pops up reinstalling vista?
Re: Sysprep window appears after each reboot
I realise this thread is pretty old and although this won't help the OP it may be of assistance if like me you are having this issue.
Scenario: you run System Restore and afterwards Sysprep 3.14 pops up on the desktop as Vista loads. If you select to run the OOBE or any of the other options Sysprep runs and then gives a fatal error.
This seems to be (as already suggested) because System Restore does not complete, I think in my case because the local admin account had been disabled.
The following seems to fix the issue -
start - regedit
Go to HKLM - System - Setup
Check the following keys:
Setup Type
SetupPhase
OOBEInProgress
CmdLine
In my case these keys all had values. I blanked out the CmdLine value, and set the other keys to 0. Rebooted and have not had the Sysprep issue since.
Usual warnings regarding careless registry editing apply, hope this helps.

Re: Sysprep window appears after each reboot
This works yes, but what if you're trying to use this sysprep image to deploye to several pcs after the fact. I cannot delete these values in the keys on all 250 pcs. Why do you think this is popping up still and is there a way to disable it from popping up?
