If regtweaks.reg is in $oem$\$1\install\, then how is cmdlines.txt supposed to find it? Put regtweaks.reg in the $OEM$ folder.

%systemdrive%\install\install_custom_programs.bat in cmdlines.txt may also need quotations.

Next time, put all your commands in 

 tags...

ive now put the regtweaks.reg in the $oem$ folder, so should commands.txt look like this?

CMDLINES.TXT:

[COMMANDS]

"REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"

"%systemdrive%\install\install_custom_programs.bat"

what do you mean by putting my commands in code tags []? please could you show me an example.

the CODE tags are for teh BOARD not the batch.

It makes the code easier on the eyes and better formating.

[code\] and [/code\]

without the \

Its nothing to do with your unattended setup, it just makes it easier for most of us to read and intepret the differences.

How would you expect it to install your video drivers when using Virtual PC? VPC is not emulating your exact video card. It is just emulating a standard VGA card.
ive now put the regtweaks.reg in the $oem$ folder, so should commands.txt look like this?

CMDLINES.TXT:

[COMMANDS]

"REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"

"%systemdrive%\install\install_custom_programs.bat"

Are variables even aloud in cmdlines.txt? (i.e. %systemdrive%)

You may need to move the .bat file to the base of the $OEM$ folder (where cmdlines.txt is)

Well, obviously you are doing something wrong because what you have is not working. The second point i made is that variables CAN'T be used in cmdlines.txt, which would describe why your batch file is not being run. You could simply call c:\install\install_custom_programs.bat instead of using %systemdrive%. Then again, if C is not your systemdrive, then this won't work. I was simply telling you why the batch file wasn't being run. There are numerous ways around using variables in cmdlines.txt, and this is just one way. Another way would be to put a .cmd file in the $OEM$ folder (with cmdlines.txt) that will call the batch file on the hard drive using the systemdrive variable. You could then call that .cmd file from cdmlines.txt instead of the batch file on the systemdrive. Just some advice - you seem to be trying to pack everything into your unattended CD all at once and are suffering from many problems. Take one thing at a time and perfect it then move on to the next so you always know what is causing your problem.

i have put the .bat file in the $oem$ dir now, is my cmdlines.txt right with the .bat file in this folder?

[COMMANDS]

"REGEDIT /S RegTweaks.reg"

"%systemdrive%\install_custom_programs.bat"

so now my $oem dir contains the following files:

RegTweaks.reg

cmdlines.txt

install_custom_programs.bat

Do you not understand what i mean when i say that variables CAN'T be used in cmdlines.txt. You are still using %systemdrive%, why? It is considered a variable. This is what you might want to try

[COMMANDS]
"REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"
"install_custom_programs.bat"

You may need to modify your batch file depending on how you handled the paths to the setup files (relative vs. full). Also be aware that some installs actually require some services to be active or an actual user to logged in, so some of the program installs may fail trying to install them during this time.
