SOLVED! Turns out all this was caused by a bug in brain.exe... Some fool (ooops...) by mistake included "ENU_Addons_M2OEM-Drivers_v150907.rar" among the hotfixes and addons. Apparently, nLite extracts and executes this with the result that presetup.cm_ is created together with a modified setup.ex_ and an \i386\OEM directory. When DPs_BASE comes along to do it's thing, it's too late and the previous changes retain precedence. Apologies for taking anybody's time with this, but it really had me stumped for quite a while. Cheers!

This has been driving me crazy for a while now. I nLite a clean XP Pro version and subsequently run DPs_BASE to integrate the driver packs. When I fire the result up in VMWare (or a real machine), I get the error message: 'Windows cannot find 'd:\OEM\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe' When I slipstream the DPs onto the clean XP version, everything works fine, and the drivers are properly extracted and installed. So, I figure this might be nLite related rather than DP_BASE related. It seems to me that presetup.cmd is either not being invoked at all or not finding the proper files. winnt.sif, presetup.cmd, et.al. all look OK to me (though I am a noob at this...), so I thought something might be wrong in the setup.exe area. I followed Pyron's instructions here, but with no apparent success. Nobody seems to experience this, so I must be missing something fundamental. But what? Any help will be received with gratitude.
