Sysprep.exe may be initiated by quickly terminates due to an error.
Check if the following log file exists and contains any useful error
information:
C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\Panther\setuperr.log
Try running the command manually, trying to replicate the environment
VCL attempts to run it in:
-Log in as root
-Open a Cygwin shell
-Run this command:
sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown /quiet
/unattend:C:/Windows/Sysnative/sysprep/Unattend.xml
If this fails, try running it from a regular cmd.exe shell, but change
the path to Unattend.xml to DOS\Windows format:
sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown /quiet
/unattend:C:\Windows\Sysnative\sysprep\Unattend.xml
Please reply with anything you find.

I have been attempting to capture a Win 7 x64 image w/ sysprep on VCL
2.2 without success. I added the following:
***# Check if pre_capture() subroutine has been implemented by the OS
module*
*my $computer_nodename = $computer_shortname;*
*if ($self->os->can("pre_capture")) {*
*# Call OS pre_capture() - it should perform all OS steps necessary to
capture an image*
*# pre_capture() should shut down the computer when it is done*
*notify($ERRORS{'OK'}, 0, "calling OS module's pre_capture() subroutine");*
*if (!$self->os->pre_capture({end_state => 'off'})) {*
*notify($ERRORS{'WARNING'}, 0, "OS module pre_capture() failed");*
*return 0;*
*}*
*}*
in esxthin.pm, as we use netapp hardware, and the pre_capture indeed
runs properly when sysprep is set to 1. At the end of the pre_capture
when sysprep.exe is actually called, nothing happens. The Unattend.xml
is in the proper place but *sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown
/quiet /unattend:C:/Windows/Sysnative/sysprep/Unattend.xml* is never
actually run. Eventually after the timeout, the poweroff() routine will
power off the machine unclean and without sysprep. I have checked the
taskman and sysprep.exe is not running.
Ideas?
