Annoying beeps when dpsfnsher does it's work

Sorry, but I can't find find mute.exe in any location, perhaps this is the problem...
Method 2 was used for integrating DriverPacks into our install-share.
After examening the logfile, I found an actual and an older version of MassStorage detected through
the dps_base script.
Is this a problem and do I have to move the older dps_x_packs to a different location?
Until now I thought dps_base script only uses the newer version of any found DriverPacks.

Here is dps_base.log:

Thanks for your explanations regarding dpshnshr.exe and ist's components.
I think our problem is the automatic generated presetup.cmd.
We did some tweaking inside this file generated by an older version of dps_base.exe and used it as a template.
After each new run of dps_base.exe we placed a copy of this "template" into i386 directory, overwriting the actual
generated from dps_base.exe.
Since something inside presetup.cmd must have been changed, I'll have a closer look at the presetup.cmd generated by the new dps_base_8124.exe.

SAD is on my to view list.
:-)

Once again, thanks for your patience and time spent on this thread.
After doing some investigation, I found the bug in our procedure.
Some time ago a problem with dpsfnshr.exe, that did not run correctly at the end of the presetup process, appeared.
As a workarround we placed a call to dpsfnshr.exe in RunOnceEx.cmd to overcome the problem.
Now, that dpsfnshr.exe runs as expected, it is called twice and generated these beeps and annoying pop-up windows.
Removing the second call to dpsfnshr.exe solved this issue.
Now our BartPe-, Driverpacks-, Database- and webconfigured unattend-install system does it's job nearly perfect.

Slight out off topic:
Although I did a lot of reading and investigation about unattended installs, I was not able to clear one important point at all.
In which phase of the windows setup process the settings for the default user and/or All users can be modified?

My approach to do it in RunOnceEx.cmd with:
REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Apps\userset.reg" /f
only affects the Administrator or other autologged-in account after next login.
Where is the right place and time to do this kind of stuff?

Thanks for any hints and have a nice weekend

I'm getting the same problem.  With previous versions of Driver Packs,  there were only path problems where it couldn't find certain files and it would beep maybe 12-20 times and of course I'd have to click OK each time.  Now,  it doesn't complain about paths, but complains that it has not Passed Microsoft Windows blah blah blah and it moves on but ends up beeping about 300-400 times which can get annoying.  Is there anyway to force windows to ignore that it has not passed therefor eliminating the beeps?

Yes, I am using KTD.   Is there a good reason I shouldn't use it?   I figured that if someone ends up replacing a network card or sound card, etc. that it will be able
to utilize the drivers from the driver pack that way.

Also, Just verifying on my Winnt.sif file and the Driver Signing stuff is set to ignore, but the warnings still pop up during the 'KTD/Driver Pack cleanup' routine
