I've written it at the beginning after you told me that was the reason it sometimes failed.

I've personally come across an issue when I used SFC.
SFC apparently wants the i386\WINNTUPG folder to be there.
And, some people apparently use upgrade from within windows to repair windows.

either way, it does not hurt to remove setupold.exe, and this could also be done by the finisher (which I consider part of DPsBase.)

As discussed in the other threads you referenced, place the beginning of the presetup.cmd file as follows:

prepxp.cmd:

if exist i386\presetup.cmd type i386\presetup.cmd |find /V "\system32\setup" > PRESETUP.ORG
if exist presetup.org copy /Y PRESETUP.FIX + PRESETUP.ORG PRESETUP.CMD 
if exist presetup.cmd move /Y PRESETUP.CMD I386 
del /F /Q PRESETUP.*

contents of PRESETUP.FIX used above:

DEL /F %systemroot%\system32\setupold.exe

Using this method places the deleting of setupold.exe at the beginning of the presetup.cmd

Another minor correction to your original post in this thread, the upg / mig folders are not needed for a repair option.

hmmm, when I try this it won't work.. (because of winnt.sif, as the others imply.)

Can it be done from runonce then?

Hi
since setupold is no longer used for anything after minisetup, why not let this be cleaned up by presetup.cmd?

REM +==================================+
REM | Make CD usable for XP UPGRADE REPAIR method. |
REM | \386\WINNTUPG folder is needed for this. |
REM +==================================+
DEL /F %systemroot%\system32\setupold.exe

would it be hard to code this in?
(people later told me this belongs at the beginning)

I would like to not have to add this manually.
It does come up at times..
