ok i have my install dir as follows $OEM$\$1\install When I rebuild the box i get an error message after I log on stating it can not find the file. c:\install\bat.cmd make sure the path is correct etc etc... I also have a driver folder set in the same directory $OEM$\$1\drivers The drivers for the box install with no problems Both directories are not copying over to the c:\ but like I stated the drivers are installing. I dont think this is the SIF problem as it's looking for the file after the build is complete. I'm thinking its the local of my directories. For s***s and giggles I placed the bat.cmd file in all the directories to see if it would copy over ie $OEM$\bat.cmd $OEM$\$1\bat.cmd $OEM$\$1\install\bat.cmd But still no good. Am I wrong in thinking that the &systemdrive% will copy over the directory to the root? What could I be doing wrong? here is a copy of the winnt.sif What I am looking to do is just run a simple CMD file on a enclosed network that after the box is built will call the setup.exe's from about 30 apps to run and install from a 192.168.0.1 file shared box.
