recap cause Vista acts the same as 5048 here...... When installing if done from command prompt, or run, the /noreboot switch will create the usual ~bt and ~ls files on the system drive. Also created are a boot folder and a drive letter assignment file. (or whatever it's called). In the ~bt folder if you modify the bmp file for winpe it changes the background for part of the installation. Actually I believe it is the temp desktop for pe. Anyway the same holds true for this version as 5048. You can add things to the setup folder in the ~bt\sources\Panther\setup\ and they will be copied to the root of the target install drive. Also of interest is the shift+F10 option to invoke a command window durring install. start taskmgr from there and browse throught the items you added to the setup folder. Copy them to the correct keys in the registry with regedit for runonce on the fly! :blink:
