Error: File not Found. What is wrong? Something with the variables?

.....have you checked the logfile?

What paths does it say it's trying to run?

[thehalon]

here is the log file:

Whoa, something weird going on there...

The execute tags should have the fully parsed versions, so the #SOURCEDRIVE#\install\$$.exe -y -o"C:\WINXP in the logfile should should turn up as

D:\install\$$.exe -y -o"C:\WINXP

Very weird.

I'll look into it when I have some time. Extremely busy right now, moving house soon.
