Thank you.I'm trying this now (as soon as my image is done building) so I'll post back.Nice catch on the "componants" thing... I could have sworn I had edited a "built" .sif for that, but obviously my spelling took over. I honestly hadn't even gotten to looking into WHY MSNexplorer was being persistant!

JAsT Posted July 29, 2004 Author Share Posted July 29, 2004 nope.XP appears to not like the /u switch even less than it likes my winnt.sif... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deedwar Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I had the same problem with my install and I removed everything in the [GUIRunOnce] section and it fixed it. Have you tried removing "%systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\hotfixes.cmd" and testing the install. Just an idea, Have fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct.The GUIRunOnce was causing the choke, though now I'm having other issues.I haven't time to tinker with it right now, but wanted to post back to thank you for your assitance and let you know you were right.YAY!
