nlite & $OEM$ Distribution Folders

[sootyuk]

Thanks in advance ... I'm sure you can help me!

I've used nlite to 'slipstream' IE7 & WMP11 into an XP Home (SP2) CD ... works really well. In addition I've used SVCPACK method to install all patches & updates.

I've just decided to use RunOnceEx method to install various apps & as a final step to reseal (sysprep) at the end. It appears that the $OEM$ distribution folders don't seem to be being copied! (cmdow.exe is on the CD in <CD:>\$OEM$\$$\System32) yet isn't being copied to the local disk (in addition the other folder structures aren't being copied over.

Has nlite done something that I've missed? Once nlite has been used to slipstream updates am I restricted to only be able to use nlite from then on?

Maybe it's something that I've messed up but I've checked it about 30+ times!!

Thanks, Sooty

Oh yeah! Just to add something, I did watch the install (on a slow PC ... rather have watched paint dry) a DOS box popup looked like runonceex.cmd running (yet as cmdow didn't exist I could see it).

So if that ran, surely the $OEM$ dist folder have been copied over? But they don't exist on HDD post install & cleanup.cmd hasn't got the lines in to remove the directories (ie Install & Drivers).

I'm so confused!! I've attached a copy of my CD structure.
