Yes, I know I'm "doing it wrong"; my point is that "doing it right" requires
picking apart the source code and reverse-engineering the build process for
the sake of adding a few dozen characters to a single file, all so I can
override defaults that make no sense for any real Windows production
environment.  (If you're going to enable Guest, you may as well dispense
with the login entirely and just set the share/fs perms on
\\ntinstall\install to Everyone:Read)

Which part of "nigh-unmodifiable" are you having trouble understanding?  I'd
gladly go and modify the source code, if the source were at all
comprehensible.  As it is it's hundreds of lines of undocumented spaghetti
logic.  I haven't the time to rewrite the entire scripting system into
something that's actually maintainable.  It's easier for me to just start ex
nihilo with a DOS bootdisk, the Server 2003 SP1 deployment tools, and
VBScript for the postinstall (which is what I'm doing).
