ThinInstal​ler problems with SCCM

Question

Hi,
I am having very frustrating problems with ThinInstaller.  I am trying to deploy drivers to a Thinkpad with ThinInstaller via SCCM.  Hope anyone with experience of it working or any experience of ThinInstaller in general can help.
I am not too sure where the problem lies, although I think it is mainly with ThinInstaller.  I am quite new to both SCCM and to ThinInstaller so I have built up what I have for it using what I found on the Internet.
SCCM Setup
I have a Task Sequence setup to initially install the Networking and Storage drivers, this works ok.  The machine adds to the domain without any problem.  Then I run the commands in the screenshot below.
Task Sequence
Step 1 – Run ThinInstaller Trustzone
%Windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CasPol​.exe -pp off -m -ag 1.2 -url file://\\192.168.100.236\PackageSource\OSDDrivers\​Win7x86\LenovoT420-4236JDO FullTrust
Step 2 – CMD CP ThinInstaller
I run the following command line;
cmd.exe /c xcopy.exe "\\192.168.100.236\smspkge$\SHR0012E\*.*" C:\Lenovo\thininstaller\ /E /D
It gets passed this step; I can see the C:\Lenovo\ThinInstaller folder
Step 3 – CMD Run Thininstaller
I run the following command line;
cmd.exe /c thininstaller.exe /CM -search A -action INSTALL -repository \\192.168.100.236\PackageSource\OSDDrivers\Win7x86​\LenovoT420-4236JDO -noicon -includerebootpackages 1,2,3,4
This step doesn’t seem to work. 
I have pasted in sections of the Task Sequence as well as details of my ThinInstaller setup below;

Failed to run the action: CMD Run ThinInstaller.
Incorrect function. (Error: 00000001; Source: Windows)

Answer 1

Create a Folder Applications in Microsoft Deployment Kit
Copy de application ThinInstaller in this folder
Install Lenovo "Update Retriever" on a Windows Machine.
Configure  Lenovo "Update Retriever"  for download the Drivers  
Modify  the Repository  with;
Close "Update Retriever" and go to the location of your Repository folder on the machine
Copy this folder to the \ThinInstaller folder that you create in  Microsoft Deployment Kit
Example: ...\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit  2012\Applications\ThinInstaller
Update sccm dp's
Sccm Task Sequence
Create a Task Sequence lines after Setup Windows and ConfigMgr
Example:
Run Command Line
Apply - Lenovo Driver Based Applications (01) and Apply - Lenovo Driver Based Applications (02)
You need run this twice because there are dependency on the drives package’s
More info let me know
