I am not sure what I am looking at. I don't have a problem with the NIC driver. This installs when the [GuiRunOnce] line executes the start.cmd in the winnt.sif. The IE6 installs at the end of the XP installation routine, probably because it is part of the overall XP install. The issue is whether there is a way to have the start.cmd execute when the IE6 has finished because as my configuration stands, the NIC driver is installed while IE6 is also installing or if you like while the last part of XP installs.
