Description
This failure occurs because there is an application or driver currently installed that is not compatible with the feature update.
Solution 1
The easiest way to determine the offending packages is to rerun setup.exe from C:\$WINDOWS.~BT. You will need to upgrade any drivers and/or upgrade/uninstall any incompatible apps. If you have a managed workstation please report any compatibility issues to CCIT Imaging and PC Management.
Solution 2
You can review setup*.log and compatdata*.xml logs at C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\. The compatiblity information is included in compatdata*.xml. Review all of these files for more information. If it is a driver it will just list the driver file such as OEM*.inf. You can open this file at c:\windows\inf to determine the exact driver causing the issue. You will need to upgrade any drivers and/or upgrade/uninstall any incompatible apps. If you have a managed workstation please report any compatibility issues to CCIT Imaging and PC Management.
