Also which hotfixes cannot use the /integrate switch, is it all the IE7 ones? Last time I made an unattended installation DVD I used a combination of nLite and some other tools, but this time I want to know what going on so I'm doing it manually and getting somewhat confused as to what should be installed where.

I'm pretty certain I'm using version 8 as I had downloaded it based off the link in wimb's sig. I am using an OEM {Dell} xp s2 source and a customized winnt.sif that I made using a combination of nlite & my knowledge of the available options/commands in said file. I didn't use the nlite created nor the usb_prep ones, I just cut & paste as well as compared versions for things I was missing. I wasn't sure where I was supposed to put the drivers so I put them in both places (the usb_prep $oem folder & the one in the XPSource\$oem folder). But I didn' t get that far in the installation. Sorry it took so long to reply but until I can get a "stable" copy of XP running I don't exactly have a working PC at work. I reimaged my machine but the image we have is bad so I still need to figure out how to get this to work as I need to create a new image as well. Oh, I also slipstreamed the recent updates into the OEM folders as there are like 60 of them for the version I have. Thanks & Happy New Year (Joyeux Noel & Prospero Ano)!

So I tried this and I'm getting the following error message: "The specified Setup script file (C:\XPSOURCE\i386\winnt.sif) is inaccessible or invalid. Contact your system administrator." I have no idea why I'm getting this message. Then when I hit ok, I get Making of LocalSource folder $WIN_NT$.~LS Ready Press any key to continue... Copying custom files to temp drive.... The system cannot find the path specified. It then takes forever to CRTL+C out before getting : Does T:\$WIN_NT$.~LS\I386 specify a file name or directory name on the target (F = file, D = directory)? C:migrate.inf 1 file copied same question as above more files are copied and then I get an error message about not being able to read/edit the tstsetup.sif file. I checked the names, locations, cases, & attributes on said files, what else am I missing?

sorry... it was late... didn't realize it was the wrong forum....
