We use Remote Installation Services extensively to deploy all our desktops.
All of these desktops have .Net 2.0 installed. Many of these desktops have
the Visual C# Express also installed.
When I run RIPrep, everything works well, except that I get an error message
somewhere along the line complaining that it cant copy
System.EnterpriseServices. (error is below)
As I understand it, this dll is a microsoft.net DLL that is installed in the
GAC.
Later, when I try to use Visual C# Express on one of the imaged systems,
I cant build our programs because they generally depend on this file being
there.
It looks like .Net 2.0 is now "corrupted" on every system that uses this RIS
image.
I found a few posts with this same problem, but none of them had a solution,
except for ignore the error :-)
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. This is completely
reproducible - I ran RIPrep multiple times to create images, and got this
error every time.
Also, using sysprep/ghost does not have this problem, but we would much
prefer to use RIS.
The error from RIPrep is:
Cannot copy reparse point
C:\WINDOWS\Assembly\GAC_32\system.enterpriseservices\2.0.0__B03F5F7F11D50A3A
Thanks!
