VMware Kickstart scripts fail to run

$

I have a Linux virtual machine in vmware workstation that I use to run scripts to setup a USB disk as a bootable vmware installation media. This works as intended.

When I do the same via a C# Windows forms project, the kickstart scripts specified for the vmware installer seems to fail. The logs that I am supposed to fetch via KS.CFG never get fetched, %firstboot gets executed forever on every boot and none of the commands in KS.CFG ever get through. Everything else works. The VMWare installer is booted via Syslinux, it seems to install, /var/log/weasel.log reports nothing new. I am out of ideas troubleshooting what might have gone wrong. Does anyone here have any suggestions on where I should look or why running the kickstart scripts fail? I have added sleep 30 after the %firstboot directive an before running the reboot command at the end of the %firstboot section.
