Sysprep : failed to delete existing DevicePath key
Hi,
While trying to capture a base windows image, I am getting the following
error. Sysprep is unable to obtain the DevicePath attribute value from the
windows registry.Is there any setting which I am missing before running
sysprep.

No, you're not missing a step but this is odd. The key should be there. I
would try to manually create the key and try to capture the image again. The
key can be a string with an empty value.
