    Can you upload WPI? I used it only once around 2007.

    I builded English from same XP ISO without problem. Are you sure your XP ISO isn't corrupt? Thats only one idea why it can happend. Just simple try to install it into VirtualBox. Your result will be same as result from XP2ESD - broken system due corrupted ISO.

    Absolutely certain yes, i have no issues at all building the ISO with this and it all functions correctly during the install.wim capture process.
    Its after the restoration that it goes wrong, and this is consistent if i manually try to replicate the myfactory process. In all cases OOBE is not called and i am completely stuck from that point, or if i already had a working installation it will just take me to the existing account. So something seems to be preventing the proper sysprep process not necessarily the generating process.

    Just place your WPI folder into root of XP2ESD ISO.
    Place at line 89 into RunOnceEx.cmd this part of code.
    Code:
    REM Run WPI 
    IF EXIST "%DRIVE%\WPI\wpi.exe" (
        REG ADD %ROE%\007 /v "WPI" /d "%DRIVE%\WPI\wpi.exe" /f
    )

    This worked fine, with no errors.

    Now I'm doing new tests ... Trying to install completely unattended, with some pre-defined settings.
    Let's see what I can ...

    Thanks for your help!

    Updated to v.1.5.5

    Code:
    23.04.2021 - v1.5.5 - Added new option to disable WinPe updates and drivers integration, usefull when you used preintegrated Windows 7 ISO
                      - Updated PAE patcher to latest version, I forgot to update this patch in XP2ESD archive
    
    @WindowsMyStyle @Gustavox10 Let me know how it goes on your side now

    Hi! I have tried building your project with official MSDN Pro, Pro VL and Home images. The installation times were shorter and the space used by these three images also. I am very impressed, keep up the good work. It's great to see that new projects are being developed for XP.

    @George King
    autosysprep.cmd, line 106:
    Code:
        if exist "%~dp0_output\CMPNENTS\MEDIACTR\I386\mediactr.cab" set "Edition=Media Center" && set "Tag=MediaCenter" && set "Key=!PKEYMCE!"
        if exist "%~dp0_output\CMPNENTS\TABLETPC\I386\tabletpc.cab" set "Edition=Tablet PC" && set "Tag=TabletPC" && set "Key=!PKEYTPC!"
    
    medctroc.cab and tabletpc.cab are usually included with both Tablet PC and Media Center installation media on disc 2, as Windows XP Professional only becomes either one if tabletoc.dll/medctroc.dll determine (probably at T-29 during gui mode setup) that the (product id of the) key you entered is supposed to trigger the installation of the TabletPC/Freestyle component

    Nice, but is there a way I can exclude certain updates with the OnePiece pack? I don't want Windows Desktop Search for instance.

    Well PAE patching must be good. As you don’t answer my other reaction about drivers cabs. I don’t have idea how to help you..
