I've tried searching, and reading up on alot of posts... But I cannot find my answers. I don't even feel like I've read anythign to get closer to an answer. If this is the wrong place, or if there is an answer and I can't find it, link me to it and I will read instead of squeezing people for info What I am doing: I have successfully created an unattended installation DVD for Windows XP Sp3. More of a goal: TO create an install DVD that could cater to a host of computers...mainly my 6 at home, my parents and my cousin's and anyone else I know. (Yes, I have not inlcuded my key, which means anyone who uses my disc is required to have their own key) What I can't do: Since I am playing to a host fo computers, I am currently looking at two ways: Driverpaks and WPI. I am epxloring WPI at the moment. It iwll allow me to inlcude the driver files form manufacturer's websites so that it's as clean as possible installation. Most of my family have computer built by me which means there are few variants in hardware, making WPI perfect for it. What I would like to do though, is find a way to remove nVidia's Network Access Manager form the installation so that when it is ran with a silent switch, it doesn't install that particular piece. Is this possible? If I go the route of DriverPacks, will that install NAM???? I really hate the thing. The help is appreciated and any info that gets thrown at me would be very helpful

Nevermind. i guess I shouldn't have given up so soon. I went on ahead and used nLite to add the hotfixes in... I guess I must've been /integrating them in an improper order or something. I need sleep.

Short and sweet if I can: I am using a Windows XP Professional SP2 disc, using RyanVM Integrator v1.4.3, latest update pack (2.1.11), RU PUpdates 2.1.11.13 Addon, Boooggy WMP11 vanilla an1d IE7en addon (1.0.6), slipstreamed into a 'latest' XP install disc. I create my ISO, use both VMWare and VPC2007 and it boots and installs just fine. Going to the Microsoft update site, there are 3 important updates, KB923689, KB936782, and KB938127. I donwload them, and use the /integrate method to slipstream the first, KB923689, into my 'latest' CD. I make my ISO, and both VM progs boot fine and begin install. Install seems to hang for a moment before it gives me a warning window about a driver that is unsigned for a battery?!?!?! I click yes, and have to find my way to the I386 folder on my CD to install it.... Fine...moves on... Not what I had intended. Just when i was about to shut down this VM, I get another for a 'Standard '101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard'. I click yes and it moves on. I don't know if it is messing up the install because I'm trying to also make this a complete unattended install.... I haven't found a lick of info as to what might be causing this. Can anyone help?
