Erik Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Problem: During the Sysprep phase of a Windows 7 deployment you receive the error: "Windows could not parse or process the unattended answer file for pass [specialize]. The settings specified in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup]." Resolution: This is generally caused by a mistyped Windows 7 product key. Please verify the product key that was entered into the Capture or Deploy Wizard is correct and works with the SKU of Windows 7 you are deploying. If the product key was entered in the Capture Wizard you will need to recreate your image using the correct product key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
