Environment
LANDESK Management Suite 9.5 SP1
Issue
After upgrading to 9.5 SP1, some software within a WIM image is not working properly anymore.
You might receive the following error when booting Windows 8 for the first time :
Error 1500. Another installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before continuing this one.
Example
The mail icon in the Control Panel created by Microsoft Office is missing.
Cause
The version of WinPE used by OSD/provisioning is version 4.0 instead of version 3.1 and Microsoft changed the way it formats partitions. The 8.3 file format is not active which causes some files from the WIM file not to be copied or to be corrupted when copied over to the hard drive.
Solution
Format the drive using the following switches :
format C: /fs:<FS> /q /s:enable /y
The /s:enable turns the 8.3 format back on and should resolve issues when files are copied over from the WIM to the partition.
