It looks like nice.

For the casual onlooker it is a Window Shell script to adjust LoadOrderGroup, StartType, etc. for the USB drivers.

Something almost, but not quite, entirely

i found something that could replace dependency of wsh/jscript in makeusbxp.js and ,
replace / even remove need for ActiveX , ( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" used for file access . "WScript.Shell" used to exec cmd .)
even allow run this script from linux mac !!... ( and could possibly a lot more or less )

JSDB is JavaScript for databases, a scripting language for data-driven, network-centric programming on Windows, Mac, Linux, and SunOS. JSDB works with databases, XML, the web, and email. It is free and open-source. Use it as a JavaScript shell, to run CGI programs, or as a web server.
...
JSDB can do nearly any batch processing task that Visual Basic can do, and it has drivers to let you read and send email, query a MySQL database, and run regular expression searches, without having to learn a specific SQL syntax or install a bunch of ActiveX components. JSDB has everything you need to write a web server or database middleware, with a graphical debugger, itself written in JSDB.

I wrote it 1-2 years ago using tutorial from ngine.de, information from Dietmar's thread at 911cd, sisal's method.
It modify Windows XP Setup source to allow installation from USB hard disk and to USB hard disk.
However the modified usb*.inf are not signed. When USB devices are discovered, Windows will not install driver for them automatically. It needs user interaction everytime new UFD is discovered.

I tried to improve it in more recent versions but still have problems, so not release it.
- As an alternative, it is possible to create new usbboot.inf file to be used instead of modifying existing usb*.inf.
- Create new .cat file for modified usb*.inf or new usbboot.inf and self-signed the .cat file. But I have problems integrating it to Windows setup.
