I just noticed something while looking through my \PREP directory that the \PREP\2 folder is now empty ... I had run the DO.CMD script a couple times (the first time i forgot to change the path in those few spots) so i decided to look in the log file, and as i suspected, none of the files i had (before they were deleted) in the \PREP\2 folder got included. Also, as you mentioned, I did get that error about the MDAC hotfix, i may just remove that file all together and install it via the scripts later on in the process.
