Large file under $OEM$\$1 not copied

[bobcrww]

The following is an example of a directory structure on my CD:

...\W2k3\i386\$OEM$\$1\ISO\Templates

...\W2k3\i386\$OEM$\$1\DRIVERS

...\W2k3\i386\$OEM$\$1\Install

All files and directories under $1 get copied to the C:\ drive I'm setting up EXCEPT for a very large .zip file I'm trying to put in the ISO\Templates directory. The file is over 1.3GB. A smaller .zip in the same directory does get copied.

It appears that I may be running into a size limit for files under $OEM$\$1. Does anyone know if there is a size limit for this automatic copy?? Any other ideas why just this one file would not be copied from the DVD??

Thanks.

Instead of coying the entire file using the OEM folder why not extract it or copy it using the runonce.cmd file? Then leave it on the disk in another directory (does it have to be copied or can it just be extracted?)

It has to be copied. After W2k3 starts up it will be unzipped by an application. It's a virtual disk and expands to over 3GB. Never used runonce.cmd. Where does it reside?

This is from the unattended guide (but it can also be used for attended installs)
