thanks for the help in advance

Maybe just remove the entire lines with the ; in front of it.

But I don't know since I don't exactly understand what the problem is...

Here I re did your script

Your Code

set tagfile=\WIN51
for %%i in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do if exist "%%i:%tagfile%" set C1=%%i:

%SystemDrive%
cd %SystemRoot%\system32

if exist setup.exe ren setup.exe setupold.exe
if exist setupORG.exe ren setupORG.exe setup.exe

%CDDRIVE%\$OEM$\$1\drivers\SetDevicePath.exe %CDDRIVE%\drivers
start %CDDRIVE%\drivers\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe

start /WAIT setup.exe %*

EXIT

My Edit Try This

echo off
cls && Color 9e
for %%i in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do if exist "%%i:\WIN51" set C1=%%i:
set D1=%SystemRoot%\system32\

if exist %D1%setup.exe ren %D1%setup.exe setupold.exe
if exist %D1%setupORG.exe ren %D1%setupORG.exe setup.exe

start /w %C1%\$OEM$\$1\drivers\SetDevicePath.exe 
start /w %C1%\$OEM$\$1\drivers\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe


EXIT

TjobzzZ the problem is this when i try and use the install with the winnt.sif the install cannot find the WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe but when i remove the winnt.sif install finds the file and continues like it should untill the 30 min mark at that time it stops at installing network i thought it might be the network drivers that it was installing at that point so i removed the updated drivers

thanks gunsmokingman im giving it a try right now and we will see how it goes

hey gunsmokingman i tried you script and well it stops responding ill post a screen shot

gunsmokingman modified the code a little bit

your code

echo off
cls && Color 9e
for %%i in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do if exist "%%i:\WIN51" set C1=%%i:
set D1=%SystemRoot%\system32\

if exist %D1%setup.exe ren %D1%setup.exe setupold.exe
if exist %D1%setupORG.exe ren %D1%setupORG.exe setup.exe

start /w %C1%\$OEM$\$1\drivers\SetDevicePath.exe
start /w %C1%\$OEM$\$1\drivers\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe


EXIT

modified code

echo off
cls && Color 9e
for %%i in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do if exist "%%i:\WIN51" set C1=%%i:
set D1=%SystemRoot%\system32\

if exist %D1%setup.exe ren %D1%setup.exe setupold.exe
if exist %D1%setupORG.exe ren %D1%setupORG.exe setup.exe

start /w %C1%\$OEM$\$1\drivers\SetDevicePath.exe
start /w %C1%\$OEM$\$1\drivers\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe

start /WAIT setup.exe %*

EXIT

still not respoinding when it starts up but if i reset the machine when it is not responding it goes past that point but still hangs at t-30 min not sure what the issue is there i even removed the lines like was previously suggested but to no avail pls help it seems like it only does it when the winnt.sif is added
