Unattended in its default config prompts you to ask if you want to use
ntx5-install, we would only ever answer yes to that question, so I edited our
various unattend.txt files in /site (we use different ones and specify them in
the csv) with ntinstall_cmd = nt5x-install - which removed the prompt.

Yes, but it didn't work, as the part of the script which writes that out only
runs if the _meta section doesn't already exist, which for us does. By changing
our _meta section as I mentioned above it then fixes it. I've checked and
viewed open files on the server while unattended is running and I can see it
has opened /site/nt5x-install from the server.
This makes the install/dosbin/install.pl master script using the
site/nt5x-install script instead of the unattended original one (the one
I provide)

That file is not there

That seemed to work. The text scrolled too fast to read, but it matched a whole
load of devices to drivers. I definitely do not get this output when unattended
runs.
I'm thinking at this point that the problem is with install.pl, that it's not
running properly. I'm actually running a bastard hybrid of rc2, rc3 and rc5,
and I think my pre-patched install.pl is the rc3 version, so that might be the
problem.
