<p dir="auto">Running the <strong>XenClean.exe</strong> utility that ships with <code>xcpng-winpv-9.1.146.0-Release-x64</code>, on a Windows Server 2022 VM (<em>Version 21H2 - OS Build 20348.5020</em>) with Citrix Guest Tools v9.4.2 installed, results in the following error and a subsequent BSOD with <strong>stopcode</strong> = <code> INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li>[Alert] Cleanup FAILED: -2147467259 Msiexec failed with code 1605</li>
<li>[Interactive] Cleanup task status is Error</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/forum/assets/uploads/files/1776933189945-screenshot-2026-04-23-043239.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-04-23 043239.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">Also, contrary to what's stated in the release notes, the VM does not automatically reboot.  I suspect that's a consequence of the utility not completing successfully to trigger the reboot.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>ULTIMATE SOLUTION FOR ME</strong> (<em>might be different for you</em>) :</p>
<ul>
<li>Mount any Windows ISO to the VM (I used the Windows Server 2022 ISO)</li>
<li>Navigate to the Advanced tab of the VM and change the boot order so DVD-Drive is first (don't forget to click Save)</li>
<li>Press any key, as prompted, to trigger a boot into the ISO</li>
<li>Press next and select "<strong>Repair your computer</strong>"</li>
<li>On the next screen select "<strong>Troubleshoot</strong>" and then "<strong>Command Prompt</strong>"</li>
<li>You will now have a command prompt open and at the X:\ drive</li>
<li>Type C:\ and hit enter to drop to the system drive for the installed OS</li>
<li>Navigate to the folder holding the XenBootFix utility.  For me it was C:\Users&lt;MyUser&gt;\Downloads\xcpng-winpv-9.1.146.0-Release-x64\package\XenBootFix</li>
<li>Type <code>XenBootFixe.exe C:\Windows</code> and wait for the utility to finish, then reboot the VM.</li>
<li>Install the XCP-ng Windows Guest Tools and reboot when prompted.</li>
<li>After the VM boots back into Windows, confirm on the VM's General Tab that you see the message <code>Management agent 9.1.145-77 detected</code>.</li>
<li>Don't forget to go back into the VM's Advanced tab and disable the DVD-Drive under Boot Order.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Sharing this, in hopes that the Vates team will see and address this issue, and it might help someone else out of a jam.</p>
