MMC Cannot Initialize the Snap-in on Windows 7 SP1

I am trying to script the SCCM console for installation on Help Desk Machines running Windows 7 Service Pack 1.  Here is my command file (customer did not have slipped stream version of SCCM 2007 with SP2):

%~dp0smssetup\bin\i386\setup /script %~dp0consoleUnattend.ini
if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 exit /b %errorlevel%
%~dp0sp2\smssetup\bin\i386\setup /script %~dp0consoleUnattend.ini
if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 exit /b %errorlevel%
msiexec /I %~dp0R3\SCCM2007-SP2-KB977384-ENU.msi /l*v %SystemRoot%\SCCMKB977384.log /passive /norestart
if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 exit /b %errorlevel%
msiexec.exe /I %~dp0R3\CONFIGMGR2007R3.MSI /l*v %SystemRoot%\SCCMR3.log /passive /norestart
if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 exit /b %errorlevel%

When I run the console I get the MMC cannot initialize the snap-in twice and I get an empty console.  I have tried most of the solutions in the various forumns (at least those that could then be reasonly scripted) and still not luck.  I am not seeing anything specific to Windows 7.

Thanks!

John

Does every line in the batch complete successfully? I think so ...
Is there any error in SMSAdminUI.log then?
