So it's now working. Error 2 is "the system cannot find the file
specified". I looked at the source folder "C:\Program Files\BDD Standard
2.5\Computer Imaging System\Source\XPPro\SP2\.\i386\" and the files that are
failing are not there. There were actually 3 files, winpeshl.exe,
factory.exe, and netcfg.exe. Strange thing is, these are WinPE files and
shouldn't be there. I have no idea why they are being sought from that
location. I copied the missing files to the source location that the
config.hta WinPE build process uses and then build the Lab ISO image again.
I then popped the CD in my test system and it boots successfully.
I'm still left with the question of why these files are being pulled from
the XP source media and not the WinPE source folder. Any insight?
