No sh*t Shirlock!! Yes I HAVE read it.. THOROUGHLY... Yes I DO still get the same problem. I wasn't bloody born yesterday FFS! Sorry if I sound agressive, but I AM fed up of people saying "oh you haven't read it" when I CLEARLY have.. hense why I'm asking for some help. If you haven't got anything constructive to add, don't bother replying. I HAVE followed the instructions to the LETTER but it still doesn't work.. Hense why, again, I'm asking for some help.

Gee I hadn't thought of THAT ONE!! You obviously haven't ready my post! I can't get it to work!.. Hense why this post.

Thanks for your reply. Wouldn't that mean that it would just be looking for files in the root directory i.e c:\ instead of an seperate folder? I thought the point of the $OEM$ folder was to copy its contents across to somewhere on the hard drive to install the files from there with a batch file?

Sorry if I sound dumb at this but I'm pulling my hair out with dispair here. I've tried everything I can think of and I can't seem to find the exact answer to this problem. I'm using nLite to create the unattanded setup file. Created an $OEM$ folder. Using Virtual PC to test the image file and installation In the $OEM$ folder I've put the usual basic security programs, i.e antivirus, firewall, antispyware, directx. In the winnt.sif file under [GuiRunOnce] I've tried Command0=%systemdrive%\$oem$\start.cmd Then during windows setup get an error message "C:\$OEM$\start.cmd not found" So tried Command0=%source%\$oem$\start.cmd And nothing happens at all. After installation completes, I did a search for the $OEM$ folder and it doesnt exist (enabled system files and folder view) Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you so much.
