"riprep" is not working

Are you doing this on the server or a workstation? If workstation, need to complete path IE \\server-name\REMINST\Admin\i386\riprep.exe. Also, did you put a Windows CD image in the Remote install?

you do not provide sufficent information concerning your problem. Remote Installation Service requires a server share that contains a W2K/XP image file with or without an answer file. It also requires DHCP service running on the network and a PXE compliant NIC or a a RIS client boot disk. You do not mention that you have setup RIS according to best practices, that you created a network share for RIS as a distribution share, that you created an image file, that you have DHCP service running on your network, that the workstation you are using has a PXE compliant NIC or useing a RIS client boot disk.

need more info.
