I have not ignored your post. I appreciate the regional settings and have integrated them into my WINNT.SIF file. I have tried to perform this (with a fresh source directory structure) three times now. I'm sure I have made an error but I cannot spot it. Thank you.

That's interesting. Has yours been done from a SP1 disk, with SP2 applied to it (because my old SP1 disk allows the same setup, without issue). Alternatively, could it be because mine is an OEM disk, as opposed to a volume edition? J.

I have a formatted D:\ and E:\. It looks like Chunk may be right; ProgramFilesDir seems to have disappeared into the ether. I can't find a reference to it anywhere on Microsoft's site. It must have been removed when they started producing SP2 disks. I love the way Microsoft remove things without telling people; it's a bit like the Ministry of Information, isn't it?! J.

Where can I get the latest ref.chm, I can't seem to find it... Has anyone else tried to use the ProgramFilesDir key in an SP2 install, i.e. can anyone confirm that this is not valid any more? Why would MS change this after so long?!! J.

The 'ProgramFilesDir' one is my main concern. But other, little, things such as 'AutomaticUpdates' That's interesting, because those seemed to install without issue. My audio, video and network devices are installed whereas, when I do an install of the boxed XP, they are not. nLite must have added them another way? Where are these documented as valid entries? They don't show up in ref.chm. This may be your problem... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I got those entries from here. They worked for my XP SP1 install a while ago. Has support for these flags been discontinued? J.

I'm having some trouble with my unattended install of Windows XP Pro (SP2). I have used nLite to integrate drivers and tweak the setup a bit. I have also manually edited WINNT.SIF to alter a bit more. It seems, however, that some of these settings are not taking effect on installation. My main concern is that the custom location for the Program Files folder is not being used. Below is my WINNT.SIF file, can anyone see where I have gone wrong?
