Error Installing Image Assist: Sysprep has already been run on this image

Hi All,

Hope someone can help me get past this error.

I’ve just built up my Windows 8.1 Maintenance Image in Audit Mode and captured it.

Now I am trying to install the Dell Image Assist tools however I am being met with an error insisting that “Sysprep has already been run on this image. Please reboot and run the tools again.” However rebooting does not solve the issue.

I thought perhaps this may be to do with the fact that audit mode opens the Sysprep window automatically on reboot which you then have to cancel but I can’t see any way of stopping the Sysprep window from opening. I tried renaming the Sysprep exe but that stopped the computer from booting to the desktop at all and I had to restore the Maintenance build backup.
