Yeah,
nLite plus dvdburn.exe (windows toolkit resource) seemed to produce a much better iso image. I left the winnt.sif alone.
I shall carry on hacking away at thsi for a while to see if I can work out why the sub dirs were not carried across.
-
Ok - that was better.
However,
1. All the file names have been shortened (MS-DOS 16 bit copy thing?). Maybe I should use an XP boot disk instead of a Win98 one.
2. Only the MyFolder1 & MyFolder2 directories were copied <CDROM>\I386\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder1
<CDROM>\I386\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder2
but the sub dirs in MyFolder2 were not copied.
Anyone got any ideas on that?
-
Yup, will do.
-
Another thing am I supposed to use the switches at the command line
(I am using winnt.exe not winnt32.exe) to tell the installation about my 'set up' files?
-
Sorry AlbinoRaven,
Are you suggesting that my dir structure should be
<CD ROM>\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder\I386
or all off the root
<CD ROM>\$OEM$
<CD ROM>\$1
<CD ROM>\MyFolder
<CD ROM>\I386
I currently have (hedging my bets)
<CD ROM>\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder
<CD ROM>\I386
<CD ROM>\I386\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder

Oh btw I am trying to install windows 2003 server standard.

dd shadow
If the 'trick' is in the difference between our listings then I cannot see it. I take it your copies files over from CD to harddrive?
bledd,
I do have upper case $OEM$ on the cd drive file name. Do you have any examples you could post, taking out PIDKEys, etc ?
ddShadow,
I read the link and I'm sure that I have the correct drive paths that is why I am looking more closely at the *.sif. Driving me bananas really.
-
Apologies but I cannot workout the correct answer.
I want to be able to copy myFolder to the root (c:\) from the install CD and start batch.bat
My CD has the $oem$ at the following dir with myFolder under $1
<CDOM drive>\$oem$\$1\myFolder
this is at the same level as my I386 folder <CDOM drive>\I386
Below is my winnt.sif which must have a problem but I'm going round and round trying to work out what it is

I have changed my methodology to leave all my additional install files on the DVD and just have my batch file copied to the system drive root. Then I used GUIRUNONCE to intiate DVD ROM file installs and all is well.
I think the key thing is use nLite and burn.
Hmmmm, all I gotta do is work out how to close this baby. :-)
