moochoo

none of the files from the install directory copy over, so no c:\install is created. im assuming ive placed something in the wrong folder but i cant figure out what :/

indeed it is ill paste my full winnt.sif ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended Repartition=Yes OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=****************** AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] FullName="Rossington All Saints" OrgName=RAS ComputerName=* ProductID="********************" [TapiLocation] CountryCode=44 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [GuiRunOnce] c:\install\batch_file.cmd

the problem is the files are just not copied over [this is windows2000 btw] i will try and go into more detail see if you guys can pick out the problem my file structure is as follows i386 $OEM$ $1 install -> batch_file.cmd, file.exe my winnt.sif has the following line [GuiRunOnce] c:\install\batch_file.cmd and my batch file is as follows copy "c:\install\file.exe" "c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop" now on first boot i receive the error "batch_file.cmd cannot be found" and it appears no files from my install directory are copied over to c:\install.

no idea why i tagged that $ sign on the end of install, was a typo on the forum post does not appear like that on my disc. \I386\$OEM$\$1\install is how it appears, any ideas?

I seem to be having a few problems with the runonce command. I copied over my files into the $OEM$\1$\install$ directory and assumed both these files got copied over to c:\install during installation, so under runonce i had the command [GuiRunOnce] c:\install\batch_file.cmd but on first boot i receive an error message saying unable to find batch_file.cmd. did i read the documentation wrong and the files are not copied over? im sure im missing something simple, help please!!!!!!
