need help with a WINNT.SIF

hi
I am putting my windows XP DVD onto usb.
This is a modded disc (basically its updated and slipstreamed, unattended, a few $OEM$ tasks)
The biggie is however, I have 114 OEM certs, keys, logos, and all preloaded into this disc ,and when i run it from DVD, during the install it runs an app called OEMAUTO.exe where it scans the mobo, and puts in the correct key and adds the proper 4 files the system32 folder. allows me to use 1 disc for all OEMS.

so,
I used winfromusb1-6 (rufus wouldn't work)
and everything works fine, except the execution of the line of code in the WINNT.SIF responsible for running the OEMAUTO.exe program. Instead of running the program, the install stops and asks for an OEM key. Then continues (once one is put in) but then needs activation post install.

Here is the line of code from the WINNT.SIF

[GuiUnattended]
Arguments="/Q /C FOR /F %? IN ('%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\MOUNTVOL.EXE^|FINDSTR :\') DO IF EXIST %?OEM\OEMAUTO.EXE START %?OEM\OEMAUTO.EXE"

i'm not sure what the beginning means so i don't know how to edit it.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

 

on the DVD the layout is as such:
ROOT>
$OEM$
I386
OEM (this contains oemauto.exe and folders)
Autorun.inf
setup.exe
WIN51
WIN51P
WIN51P.SP3

ON the USB
ROOT>
DPMS
WINSETUP (XPpSP3.iso AND XPpSP3 folder > here is the DVD contents including OEM folder ((see above))
default
grldr
menu.lst
plpbt.bin
shifthd.bat
usbdrive.tag
windwfault
winsetup.lst

 

will try when i get back, runnin out door for service call.

Thanks

 

Error
Line 58 of the INF file \winsetup\xppsp3\i386\winnt.sif is invalid

i got the install to run without the inf error (not sure what happened)
however install stops at the same spot (asking for key)

I think what is happening is the OEMAUTO.exe is trying to inject the info to the wrong location (I386) which is no longer at D:\

don't know how to correct this.

thanks
