Microsoft Deployment Workbench Error – “no tasksequences.xml”

I was recently working on a few things when all the sudden i couldn’t load the LiteTouch_X86.iso without getting an error saying there were no task sequences available.  Now i know all my task sequences were available and up and running and i had verified that tasksequences.xml was in fact in the lab share.  I searched all over the internet and couldn’t find any information on the error message.

However i did figure out how to resolve the issue.  It turned out that one of my task sequences was corrupted. I started going through all my task sequences and making sure they opened correctly in the workbench and looked to be configured properly.  I ran into one of my TS’s that would crash the MMC every time i tried to view it.  I deleted that task sequence from the workbench and low and behold the LiteTouch CD starting working again.  I recreated the TS from some backups i had and everything appears to be working correctly again and i can see my TS’s from the LiteTouch CD now.  Weird.

Interesting little bug.
