Guys, Thanks for the answers. I found out that the prepare.cmd tried to copy a file which wasn't included on my install directory. Very stupid mistake. I changed this and now all works well. Thanks again. Mark

Nobody has an answer ??? I've reviewed my prepare.cmd but I couldn't find any errors in that.

Hi all, Before I continue, I would like to point out that this site has the by far most complete / best unattend xp cd guide I've seen till now. My problem is that my runonceex script does not start. I'v ran it on my test computer and all entries were made in the registry. When I run the unattended installation the script hangs on the first entry. I've made the cd almost the same as described by aaron, but just to be sure i'm posting my runonceex.
