Unattended Not working!

[BrandonS_Mil]

OK, i need some help. I created an XP SP2 disk with Ryans update pack, and a few more patches that he didn't have to make an xp disk that when loaded will be 95% current (only the patches you can't download for offline install or that nlite can't handle).

My unattended worked before, but resently it's not working.

Here is my Nlite/setupmanager tweaked version:

Here is the "Server" (all 3) that the Setup Manager (deploy tools) created:

Before sifting through both unattended setup files, how are your installations not working?

[BrandonS_Mil]

Both installations act as if direct from cd. No options are saved....

OK, let me give an Update.....

After 5 hrs of playing... i found that if i use Nlite to make a bootable ISO and test with VPC, it works.

If i use the nlite compilation in my dvd menu... it doesn't work.....

What i am i doing wrong????
