Found an issue I didn't know I was having, and fixed that as well
I have been using this since back when Win7PESE was the big thing to use, plus I've used mostly everything since, and I'm used to that "old" way of doing the projects, and all my "old" plugins I'd use for advanced things have, for the most part, disappeared. Yes, I was only mainly slightly better than a script kiddie, but I was proficient in finding since, or multiple, scripts for copying parts from, editing, or, using them as templates. But now??? Everything just feels so different, and honestly, I'm one of those who, when they get into a routine, or doing something a certain way, it can be hard to catch up.
For a reference to what I can do, I was the one who provided the original files for the WMP "dark" skin, although my username seems to have disappeared from the forum's database for some reason, and I tried recreating it, and well, it won't send the activation email to my registered email, which is why I'm here instead of there... another thing I'm proficient at, is taking the windows 8 start screen background and removing unwanted backgrounds to save space, as well as replacing the main one with a custom one... that, of course has nothing to do with my problem, but it shows that I'm at the very least, not a COMPLETE idiot. That said though, I certainly feel like one, because yeah, I just can't get it to work as of yet, but I'll check the area you recommended that I check, to see what I might have missed.
Is xpe startup only for USB? That could be my issue, although if that's true, then I wish I could get it ISO compatible, for use with ventoy, so that not every ISO tries loading my custom registry entries...
Also, don't know if this helps, but I generally use regshot while running in PE mode, to monitor the registry during installs, and my resulting file has had all non-registry data removed from it

Gawd I've been a blooming idiot, TRULY... I had the xpe startup.cmd in the WIM root, NOT the CD root... DOH!!! Maybe I'll get it working now?(yeah, with my luck today???🤣🤣🤣 I'd love to see me try)
**Edit**
I also found an issue, where I wasn't logged in to the application as administrator, and it wasn't allowing me to edit any files that had an edit button on the various plugins, and I just thought that that was some computer error but it was my fault, which then made the other errors more grievous than they had to be...
