mjc You Wrote

# Downloads and slipstreams the appropriate service pack
# Downloads and installs the latest RyanVM pack (this should instead be downloading and installing the latest hotfixes directly from MS in the future)

Would You Add An Option To Install These From A Source Location If You Already Have Them Downloaded ??

mjc, great project. I've been working on some of the components you mentioned over the past few months of and on.

Ambitious project.

My take on Hotfixes:
should be downloaded from ms directly(licensing/security). I wouldn't use a hotfix for production that came from anywhere else. I started down the road with ryans update pack, but ran into problems post sysprep.
Windows Update/Baseline Analyser etc can determine which service packs or hotfixes are needed. MS maintains the list. Why not use that and just use the data already provided. I parse through mssecure.xml (which is avail for download) It provides me a list of patches for effected product id and the download location. As a bonus it also provides info about the patch which I use to create dynamic patch documentation in html format.
