When I try to deploy Windows 7 Pro x64 version, shortly after I select the OS
to install from the MDT 2010 window, it instantly fails with two errors that
have the same ID...

litetouch deployment failed, Return code = -2147467259 0x80004005

Anyone know what this means? I tried Googling it, but got nowhere.

There were 2 log files within, BDD.log and LiteTouch.log, both contained the
same information...


<![LOG[Property LogPath is now =

Sorry, you said what dates did those files have.

They ranged between 30/06/2009 to 31/08/2009 with the latest being
bootstrap.ini dated at 11/10/2009

Feels like this is a generic error returned by the default error handler for
Litetouch.wsf.

Can you either: return some more lines in the bdd.log file? I can't tell
from the two lines provided what is happening.
Or, can you re-run litetouch.wsf with the /debugcapture flag in a command
prompt?

cscript.exe //nologo litetouch.wsf /debug:true /debugcapture

Hopefully the error should reveal itself.

Hello,

I had a similar problem in the last week. Check your Task-Sequenz and
enable the "continue on error" in the step that cause the problem.
In fact, the resulting problem in my case ist, that the target
computer does not create a bootmanager :)
Deployment works just fine when the computer reboot the first time he
is truely sad not to have a bootmanager at all ...

Hello,

I am really stuck with one problem with MDT 2010 while automating Windows 7 deployment.

I had manually captured (Imagex) windows 7 installation and then created a MDT task on the deployment share. When I bootinto winpe I come across the "failed to run the last action: Install Operating System" error with codes -2147467259b0x80004005. It says litetouch deployment failed.

Could you please help me out?

I am using lenovo ideapad s10-3 with 32 bit Windows 7 (enterprise edition)
