Well, I'm never one to leave well enough alone and something I've done from my last good build (ya, I should test each change once at a time I guess) is causing this error when my start.cmd runs. Anyone have a clue as to the most likely cause of this?

Various info...

[COMMANDS]
"REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"
"useraccounts.cmd"

useraccounts.cmd is setup identical to what's in the guide...

I won't list my start.cmd (set to run from GUIRunOnce) unless someone thinks it's necessary...I can click continue through the errors and it fails on every installer, all of which work in a previous build.

I appreciate anyone who can save me a lot of time/effort on troubleshooting this!
