Windows 7 Pro deployment problem

I have previoulsy built Windows 7 Pro images for 2 system & successfully captured & deployed the images using imagex.

I sysprep the system & include an unattend file, before booting from a USB key to capture the image.

I then boot off the same USB key to deply the image to a new hard drive & then reboot to start Windows loading.

I am now working on a 3rd system, but I have a problem with this build, because following my final reboot, I receive an error.

Everything looks OK & I have a message to say that 'Setup is preparing your computer for first use', but I then receive an msoobe.exe error saying 'The program can't start because COMCTL32.dll is missing....'

I've not done anything different on this system, to what I did on the other 2, but the drivers are different & there is a USB -> COM driver installed.

Could this be causing the error??
