    Already tried, it works for all other files or folders but not this one.
    This one keeps being the property of trustedinstaller.

    it looks like you are trying to delete them from withn Vista, doesn't trustedinstaller.exe runs as NT SERVICE.

    Maybe simple fix take ownership with Windows 7 and not Vista account

    The problem is trustedinstaller is to prevent the entire OS (both users and system accounts) from changing the files. That is why I it will be easier to remove it when VISTA is not running. Take ownership with Windows 7 and delete with Windows 7.

    Just guess, does no make sense ?

    Brain Fart - Was that simply a WIM image mounted in read only mode ?

    Well it was maybe a wim image but a ghost one.
    Windows showed folders and executables inside that folder, but in reality it was a 0 kb folder.

    imagex


    Using WAIK Deployment Tools Command Prompt.

    Run this:

    imagex /cleanup

    should fix the issue.

    I have blogged about it here: blog.interrogate.com.au
