D'oh! I found the culprit: OemSkipWelcome = 0 Should be 1 not 0.

I created a slipstreamed, hotfixed, tweaked, unattended ISO and tested it several times with VirtualPC, and it works perfectly. I then created a RunOnceEx.cmd file and $OEM$ folders to install several apps. That also works great... except for 1 thing. When I use the ISO with my $OEM$ distribution, setup proceeds thru the copying of installation files and then Windows starts. After the "Please wait..." screen, setup stops and I get a screen saying something like, "Windows needs to gather some information..." I'm then given a 'Next' button. At first I thought I goofed up so I started again. I got it again, and decided to click next. The rest of setup continued unattended, and my apps installed as they should. But I don't want that interruption in my setup. I don't get it until I change to UnattendSwitch = Yes Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
