Windows 10: I am having difficulty removing Microsoft.Messaging for Sysprep

Issue with trying to create an image. I continually receive this error message: “SYSPRP Package Microsoft.Messaging_3.38.22001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe was installed for a user, but not provisioned for all users. This package will not function properly in the sysprep image.”

I’ve run these commands to find and remove all the apps.
Get-AppxPackage -AllUser | Format-List -Property PackageFullName,PackageUserInformation.
Run Remove-AppxPackage -Package <packagefullname>
Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackageName <packagefullname>

Microsoft.Messaging is not on any list. I still went through all of the users on that device and ran the commands in Powershell (Admin). I went through the registry and removed any keys that reference Microsoft.Messaging.

And I continually receive the message about Microsoft.Messaging.

Any suggestions?
Thank You

:)

 

SysPrep Advice

Hi Joseph,

The topic that you raised is beyond the scope of support for this site which focuses more on home and personal end users. Here's what I found about SysPrep:

• What Is Sysprep?
• How To Sysprep – Sysprep is a Great And powerful tool And Easy
  Too If You Know How (Step-By-Step).

However these are old articles and the process may have been changed already. You may re-post this question in

TechNet Forums for further assistance.

All the best.

 

Windows 10 Update breaks Sysprep?

I am attempting to image a Dell E7470 with Sysprep to upload to my WDS server.

When I run Sysprep /oobe / shutdown, it completes. However, without Generalize, I won't be able to upload it or deploy it.

When I run Sysprep /oobe /generalize / shutdown, it reports that a fatal error has occurred. The setupact.log lists that the Miracastview app cannot be removed.

I have attempted the Remove-appxpackage commands, but it states that it has been provisioned for the user but not all users. It says to attempt removal with Add / Remove Windows features, but it is not listed there.

I have tried the steps in

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...w-cause-sysprep-error-windows-10-version-1709

but none of this has worked either.

I guess the answer is to not run any Windows updates before Sysprep and avoid 1709? It appears to be bad news.

Anybody else encounter this? Any other solutions available?

 

Windows 10 1709 sysprep fail

Hi,

I had the same problem, checked the logs and they basically said Windows was unable to remove the Miracast app.

Tried multiple suggestions, nothing worked until I found this:

Failed to sysprep and capture Windows 10 Fall Creators 1709

Basically Microsoft have pushed out their 1709 image without the Miracast app installed, to fix:

• Copy the C:\Windows\MiracastView folder from a working 1703 build into the C:\Windows directory on the 1709 machine
• Restart and then run sysprep

Sysprep should then run successfully!
