OK, as promised, here is my code BEFORE I started using Kickarse's scan tool, so this code includes my own scanning routine. Make sure C:\DP exists, and EXTRACT the packs you want to work with to that folder. This code is AS-IS, so if you run the installer (justinstall_s 2.au3) it WILL DELETE the C:\DP folder when done, so comment out line 194 to prevent this.

I have the for-next loop because I found many times that C:\DP was not being fully removed, something I also experienced a lot with Finisher when using Base for SysPrep integration... The loop makes it more likely to succeed (hasn't failed yet this way...). I included the rest of the typical deletions to the loop just in case 
Code for suppress.au3:
$start = TimerInit()
Do
sleep(2000)
if WinExists("Found New Hardware Wizard") then
WinActivate("Found New Hardware Wizard")
Send("{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}")
endif
if WinExists("Hardware Update Wizard") then
WinActivate("Hardware Update Wizard")
Send("{ENTER}")
endif
if WinExists("System Settings Change") then
WinActivate("System Settings Change")
Send("{TAB}{ENTER}")
Exit
EndIf
Until TimerDiff($start)>90000
Exit
I have only noticed the System Settings Change window with XP Pro, so included the 90 second kill switch incase that window doesn't come up.
Any questions/comments, let 'er rip. I also apologize about the spacing being gone due to the code tag, if anybody is interested in downloading the code in the raw au3 format let me know, that way the code will be much easier to follow.....

) Do you have plans to include it in a future release of Base? Do you need any more testing of it done? I'd be happy to help shake any bugs out and offer some input if you'd like, but testing of it may be a bit limited since my images are now locked down using my own tool..... But I could try to make some time to experiment with it.
