I'm still failing to understand why you cannot correct the CD-ROM drive
letter in the image, rather than post-fixing the image with scripting.

vbscript, natively, doesn't provide any mechanism for this sort of
thing, normally. vbscript taken by itself, is useful (as other scripting
languages) for making active web pages. Beyond that, on it's own, it's
quite limited for client-side scripting.

It's only when combined with other technology (ie WSH, ADSI, or WMI)
that it becomes something like a system admin type scripting tool.

I'm merely wondering why you are spending so much time considering
altering an OS after the fact, when surely it would be easier to just
create the image with the correct CD-ROM drive letter.
