You sir are a smart man. It appears that was it. Thank you for your time.

Try using a shorter OS folder name. Also note that this type of issue can also manifest itself when importing the OS image in the first place, causing the SXS folder to be incomplete. See http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/75/Windows-8-Deployment-The-specified-path-file-name-or-both-are-too-long.aspx for that. You may or may not have run into that if you are using a local path (e.g. C:\Deploy) that is shorter than the UNC path.

I’ve found some people that do this by calling DISM, but as Michael mentions in this post it shouldn’t be necessary for Litetouch: http://blogs.technet.com/b/mniehaus/archive/2012/09/27/mdt-2012-update-1-roles-and-features-improvements.aspx I’m using full source files, but it still seems to fail with this error: ZTI ERROR - Unhandled error returned by ZTIOSRole: Path not found (76) I even tried setting the WindowsSource variable, but that didn’t seem to help.
