Do you have to run DPsFnshr.exe for driverpacks to work?

I've done some searching through the forums but I'm having problems finding a clear answer on exactly what DPsFnshr.exe does in the overall process of integrating driverpacks into a Universal Image.

My understanding is that it basically removes the driverpacks and all the files on the root of the c:\ driverpacks uses to make itself work when the first person logs in.

If one was to not run ROE.exe (which calls DPsFnshr.exe) when building an image would there be any adverse affects beyond having these files left on the hard drive?  The reason I ask is we're using Driverpacks in our corporate enviroment and on occasion DPsFnshr gets hung up when trying to delete the various files on the root of C: and generates a brief error users see when they first login.  It doesn't happen on all stations, but it does happen enough to be an annoyance.  And when that happens our helpdesk gets a phone call about the error.

If I could eliminate this step from Universal Imaging Guide skinlayers documented and use a rd and del commands to remove the same files and directories via Altiris once the computer reaches the OS I know that would work consistently, and even if it didn't, the end users wouldn't know since it wouldn't generate an error they'd see.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Derek
