SP1a vs SP1 Hotfixes Problem folders created

[hevnbnd]

Ok i have been slipstreaming my hotfixes into sp1 home without any problems now that i am using sp1a pro i am having issues. When i finally make it into windows there are about 5 folders created on the root directory with a whole lot of numbers in the folder name and update.exe in the folder and it wont let me delete these folders and when i click update.exe it says it is missing the required ini file to run the update. What is causing these folders to show up all the sudden? I am using the latest do.cmd to create the slipstream. Here is a list of the updates i am using:

I checked back into Virtual PC where I installed Windows XP using webmedic's hotfix script, and have found no folders in the root drive which you described.

"About 5 folders" and 6 files in directory 2 ... I vote for a path problem. Long directory names? Quotes where needed?

The strangely numbered directories you see are most likely the temporary directories that hotfixes often use. They are named something like "456156753864328974238549". If the hotfix install correctly, these will be deleted. Seeing them is not a good sign.
