I tried your method of deployment as described in your original post, but I'm experiencing a strange error. I get File copy errors with a specific message of incorrect function. I know what you are thinking, "That's easy it's a bad CD burn". That is what I thought at first also. I've recreated the CD about 4 times, recopied my XPSP1 CD to my source location. The files that produce the errors have not been consistent. ie., mstsc.exe, mstsc.hlp, shell32.dll, shfolder.dll Does anyone have sugestions to look for to try to troubleshoot the problem. I am using the makelocalsource switch.
