    Hello all,

    I wondered if you could shed any light on this error please? “Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer's hardware".

    The error occurs after the computer (WE7Sp running on a Foxconn Nettop A3550) has been syspreped, just after “Applying Settings”.

    The machine has already been tapped and added to ICE as well as many other different models and they have no problem using the same install media and the same sysprep answer file.

    What’s more, if I sysprep Win7Pro on the same computer using the same sysprep answer file (applied of course to the Win7Pro Windows Image in WAIK), this works. I’m truly stumpt!

    I appreciate any advice
