EDIT: This is in my opinion much easier than how you all do it... I've just got done testing and it works perfectly. First make changes to your risstndrd.sif located in : ImageName\I386\Templates folder. Make sure to include these lines in the unattended section. OemPreinstall = Yes UnattendSwitch= "yes" Next make sure you have your $oem$ folder located at same level as I386 folder. Inside the $oem$ folder create a directory called $1 Inside the $1 directory create another directory called Drivers Inside the Drivers directory COPY your WPI folder (the one that is located at same level as I386 Directory). Modify the RunWPI.cmd file and add in this for /f "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%~dp0") do set drive=%%i: set wpipath=%drive%\Drivers\wpi SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY%\999 /V 1 /D "%wpipath%\WPI.hta" /f That's IT. Now your RIS Server will install the OS move the files for WPI to your C:\Drivers\WPI and bring up your WPI-Screen with install options at first logon. (THE CHANGE You need to make in RunWPI.cmd is shown in bold) **IF you do have a lot of things that you install, this might not be ideal because it has to first transfer all thefiles remotely to the targeted machine (which is done at the time of install from RIS).... inthat case I might suggest using the other methods, or calling a map network drive function then pointing large installs to the specific location it is stored at.

Where do I put this batch file so that it runs before WPI tries to run? Right now at first logon it's coming up and saying "can't find C:\WPI\wpi.hta" and it gives me the option to browse to the location...... How can I get it to already know the location is a mapped drive? Does this batch file do that? If so, where do I put this batch file so it runs before the launching of wpi.hta at first logon? I hope I'm making sense EDITED: Windows cannot find 'c:\wpi\WPI.hta'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search. This is the exact error message I receive.
