After installing smartdeploy 2.0.3070 and upon rebooting, windows 7 will get to the point in the boot process where it is “applying computer settings”, and then the screen will go black and the computer will reboot.
I tested this on two different windows 7 PCs.
The first time, I thought it was a botched windows 7 update, and I ended up completely destroying that installation of windows 7 trying to remove a faulty update that wasn’t actually at fault.
The second time, I installed each windows update one at a time, rebooting each time, then each piece of software one at a time, and rebooting each time. After installing smartdeploy and rebooting, windows 7 then entered the infinite reboot loop.
After booting from a recovery disc, going into system restore, and restoring a point from before the installation of smart deploy, windows 7 was then able to boot normally.
