I get the following error when trying to run the runonceex registry entries:

Error in iernonce.dll
Missing entry:runonceexprocess

The runonceex reg entries where successfully merged by right-click install of runoncex.inf:

BTW, the cd never spins up. One of the registry entries above correctly reads E:\$OEM$\registry.bat, where E:\ is the cdrom drive

Figured out my prob. I was typing:
rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,runonceexprocess

instead of:
rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

Now I have to figure out why it doesn't run during unattended setup.

I received the same error message when running the following commands straight from cmdlines.txt:

"rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection XP 128 runonceex.inf"
"rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess"

The location of runonceex.inf was in the $OEM$ folder, but it was not being read for some reason. The second command generated the error message you saw.

To fix it, I modified the path of the first command by adding a .\ in front of runonceex.inf and having both command run in a .cmd file called upon by cmdlines.txt. It ran flawlessly with no errors.

I would check your command lines for any quote, if you are running it the same way. I'm not sure if the quotes in cmdlines.txt drive the two command crazy or not.
