that did it! it works! the I386 is buried deeply on the cd, Components\Tabletpc\I386. just copying the whole Components folder, like you said, fixed everything. i ended up with a nice tablet pc install disk, with some components removed and many tweaks applied. thank you so very much for creating this tool and for helping me! Please please, I´ve been trying for hours... Exactly where did you put the folder from cd 2? Would make my week
