I've run it again.
1. No sings of starting the uncompress procedure. The screen ubnder
equipment/driver installation phase several times were blank, but
nothing was running.
2. As it was supposed, it could not mount share without network (driver),
when windows started first (and try to install perl).
3. I have restart (as windows wants) and start exploring directories.
I have found C:\netinst\unattend.txt as it suppose to be.
I have found C:\windows\sysem32\$winnt$.inf where I'm found rows
of "DetachedProgram" and "Arguments" in section "GuiUnattended".
4. I do not found any signs of existence of drivers directory I386\$OEM$\
and stuf to get drivers pack.
I'm still wondered about command arguments, especially for what directory
passed to "CALL START /MIN %dospath:\\=\%$OEM$\drivers.cmd" part. The
%dospath, previously set to %SYSTEMROOT\SYSTEM32\$WINNT$.INF, but this is a
file - I don't understand :[ Where the drivers.cmd should reside at this
phase? All signs point that this command executed, but couldn't find the
drivers.cmd, which is suppose (by me) to extract drivers. First I will try
to be ensure that this "detached" command is really take controll.

correct names per the instructions, make sure that the correct names are
also updated in the drivers.cmd file as well. I just checked the
original file and it referenced the original file names not the updated
8.3 format ones. That will cause a problem when the drivers.cmd script
executes during the grapical install. I think this may be the culprit of
your problem.

When your install runs you should get a small box about midway through
