Slipstreaming SP3, Windows Media Player 11 and Internet Explorer 7.

[killerb255]

One thing I forgot to mention that I do that may change the way things get setup is... sometime back MS screwed up ierunonce.dll causing all kinds of trouble with runonceex.cmd perhaps this is causing issues with your unattended install, to get past this I simply take the iernonce.dll from the most recent ie7 hotfix (you can't integrate it directly with nlite since MS still hasn't made the hotfix sp3 compatible via slipstreaming), cab it and replace the one that ie7 ships with. This may allow wmp11 to run any final setup stuff before your first logon that it couldn't before.

I will try that and post back in the next few days.

Which hotfix did you use?

Also, do you use a third party archiver or a command of some type to do your cabbing?
