i have a problem ... please help ...

goal:
Unattended XP SP2 with:

- RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack with RyanVM`s addons like DX9 , wmp10,IE7 and more...
- Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks (awesome stuff)
- Bunch of self install applications using WPI (I love WPI)
- Some cosmetics (custom : oemlogo,oeminfo,WINNTBBU,themes,Screensavers,wallpapers)
- nLite optimized & tweaked install ()

problem:
after putting everything together my .iso does not work properly.

separately no problems everything works 100%

guide i used to create my iso :
http://unattended.ms.../unattended.xp/

my workflow (flawed) :

01:create .iso of vanilla WinXP SP2 (so i do not have to copy it from cd all the time)
02:create source folder where WinXP SP2 is extracted using UltraISO
03:run RyanVM Integrator link
install WPI from menu and activate it (per instructions) and add RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack and addons and some themes and push button integrate after some tome everything done...
04:slipstream Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks using DriverPacks BASE everything sims to be ok
05:run nLite v1.3 FINAL, load my SOURCE XP (in previous steps modified), not removing anything adding my setings & tweaks.... (before creating iso - add mu $OEM$ , oemlogo,oeminfo,WINNTBBU , WPI applications setups) then build iso...
06:testing using Ms Virtual PC 2007


detailed description of my problem:

[OK] Drivers seems to be present & copied to HDD
[OK] RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack & addons -All Working
[OK] Themes, screensavers and other $OEM$ ok , WINNTBBU ok
[OK] ---EMPTY for future comment---
[NotOK] OOBE was disabled in nLite but after install it asks for stuff
[NotOK] WPI dows not come up (if started from desktop can not find WPI.HTA)
[NotOK] nLite Tweaks not present (for example- security center not disbled)
[NotOK]---EMPTY for future comment---

so it seams i got few smaller problems

nLite is confused with non clean SOURCE (driver packs,addons,and more)
RyanVM Integrator does not work easy with wpi


also i tried different workflow (drivers first than ryen stuff then nlite with simmilar result, except after winxp install finishes i could manually start wpi.hta and wpi with installs did work) but somethings did not work. posting my nLite settings pics.


small rant
There is a plenty great guides & tutorials for nLite, wpi, RyanVM Integrator but no guide i could find for integrating ALL OF this stuff on one CD/DVD, and i hyave seen WinXP installs that includes all of the above and they do work . i just can not find out how to do it myself... /rant off ufff... i feel a lil better now


any help is greatly appreciated

Try this order:
RVM Integrator w/WPI (for updates/addons)
nLite (for removals/unattended tweaks)
BTS driverpacks (ALWAYS last)
Create ISO & test in virtual.

BTS driverpacks are ALWAYS integrated last (just before creating ISO).

That worked well, except WPI wont start ...

i am posting how my root looks


at this moment i just added

cmdlines.txt
royale.exe
RunWPI.cmd

to my $OEM$

and i added

WPI.ICO

to the root of dvd



cmdlines.txt looks like this:

[COMMANDS]
Royale.exe
RunWPI.cmd
