Hi, my unattended settings will work but the start.cmd does not. It is in the $OEM$ folder, the OEM folder is in the root of the CD. Here is the contents of sif and cmd

start.cmd:

in your winnt.sif file in your first attempt using GuiRunOnce, you don't have the [GuiRunOnce] section. Which should contain a line to run START.CMD, see http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/81/

in the RunOnceEx file you createdyou either need to add a \ to the end of the set key=....... line, or put a \ between the %key%and the following number on the REG ADD lines. See http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/31/

And I'm not sure what %PP% is supposed to refer to.
