Thanks for the quick reply ilko_t, been busy working on other projects and couldn't find the time to investigate the issue. Anyway it turned out that I had the wrong settings in the winnt.sif file. To clarify - $OEM$ folders must be placed on the root of the source and not a subfolder of i386/ contrary to what it's written in the KB, your answer file also needs to have the OemPreinstall=Yes line under the [unattended] section. The drivers were copied and scripts executed properly after that.

Hi ilko_t, First of all I'd like to say thanks for all your efforts and time to make such a wonderful tool available to the public. Well done mate, keep up the good work. Now on to the problem i've run into. I've been trying to create a customized usb unattended installation of XP pro SP3 using the $OEM$ folders method to install drivers during the second phase of the installation process. While everything worked just fine while testing the usb under Vmware and the OS did install correctly using a custom winnt.sif the $OEM$\$1 folders and subfolders did not get copied over to the root drive. To clarify, the $OEM$ folder tree was parallel to the i386, present at the installation source when making the usb, using the beta 7 version of your tool . Do I need to rename the folders to something else? Place them in a different folder tree? Modify the winnt.sif or setup.cmd ? Please help.
