My only experience with Error Code 7 was that it was related to currently running applications. I received this error so tried running the installer in interactive mode. It asked me to close Outlook, Word, IE and Messenger. I did that, terminated the installer and ran the silent install script again and it worked. Obviously, this shouldn't happen when using RunOnceEx or similar. I was trying a "shortcut" to install the collection on a machine after it had been built.

Thanks for everyone's efforts with this problem so far. I've got the same issue with SP3. I'm using XP VLK and have tried slipstreaming an SP2 disk with SP3 and using a Microsoft SP3 ISO from Technet. I use WinPE 2.0 and WinNT32.exe and boot and install from an external USB hard drive. If I add as little as 1 driver using nLite then the installation seems to miss all the files mentioned previously. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
