RIS OemPreinstall Problems

I am trying to building a RIS image that is full automated but I am having
one screen that will appear for user interaction.

The screen is after the formatting and coping files and the GUI part (right
before "installing devices") of the install starts. The screen says, "Welcome
to the Windows XP Setup Wizard"

I have found that this only happens when I have the OemPreinstall=Yes, set
in the Unatteneded section of the restndrd.sif file. If I turn this setting
to =Off then the prompt does not happen but I do not get my oem drivers to
install.

Please let me know what I need to do to remove this prompt from my install.
Here is a copy of my ristndrd.sif:

Have you found a fix for your issue?

Should be OemSkipWelcome=1

Also add:

[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword=*
EncryptedAdminPassword=No
AutoLogon=Yes
AutoLogonCount=1

This will make sure the new box boots into GUI mode after initial setup
to continue sysprepping.
 
I did correct this issue recently. It seems that the problem was not with my
SIF file but somewhere within the setup itself. It had worked at one time but
something changed that I am not aware of. I created a new setup image and the
problem was no longer happening. I was even able to use my old SIF files and
everything was working properly.

Please note that encrypted admin password is not supported and will cause a
GUI to come up with a message. This may or may not be the actual cause of
your situation.

Quoted from the help file for Unattend.txt

"If OemPreinstall = Yes, unattended Setup automatically stops at the Welcome
page. To avoid this pause in your factory environment, set OEMSkipWelcome to
1.

You misspelled "OEMSkipWelcome" as "OEMSkipWelcomes" in your file specified
below.

Please note that EncryptedAdminPassword is not supported in RIS. The admin
password must be unencrypted and this entry removed.
