Hi All,
I've run into an error with installing apps from network share via SynchronousCommands under Specialize pass in unattended answer file. I been trying to work on it since yesterday and haven't had any success so far. It keeps failing with an error below. This error is from setupact.log file and I've just pasted only the error from the file .

This error is from setuperr.log.
2014-09-27 06:31:45, Error [SETUPUGC.EXE] Hit an error (hr = 0x80070056) while running [\\WDS-DEP-SERV\E\Distribution\Drivers\setup64.exe /s ]
Let me explain this situation. I've a server named WDS-DEP-SERV which is running my WDS, DHCP and DNS. I've an E drive on this server which contains setup64.exe and I'm trying to have the client pull that .exe via unattend answer file and install it either during Specialize pass under windows deployment services via Synchronoouscommands or under OOBE pass under Windows Shell setup via FirstLogoncommands ---> Synchronouscommands, but it's not working. I believe that my path format for network share is wrong. I've searched online almost everywhere since yesterday but I couldn't find anything.
Can anyone please let me know what's the right way of go about doing it? This is the only thing that's not working for me. Below is my answer file, in case someone needs to see what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks and hope to hear from someone.
