Getting errors on build

[HylanderJ]

I have been getting this error when trying to use WindowsBuilder. It used to work but doesn't now. I have re-downloaded WindowsBuilder, tried a new install.wim, and all of the built in bsd files, and still get this error. I am running in an administrator command prompt.

I'm guessing PSJapson/Lizoc.PowerShell.Japson.dll is not loaded properly, or some problem with the build config files (BSD). To test my suspicion, you can modify the source code to dump the internal data:

[tools\WindowsBuilder\WindowsBuilder.ps1] (line 267)

    # parse!
    $defaultConfig = ConvertFrom-Japson ($defaultBsd -join [Environment]::NewLine)
# add this line
$defaultConfig | ConvertTo-Json -depth 32

Here is the output of the convert-to-json command

  }

I used an unmodified build config file to eliminate that as the problem. I am still getting the same errors.

I get the same errors. All I really want to do is strip all the crap out of windows OS, disabled certain system componants, install programs so I don't have to reinstall them everytime I reformat, and possibly make a custom installation background... what a pain in the ass.
