Fist of all Hi

A great site you have here, have to confess ive been a lurker for 3 months, and finished my first unattended OS, with the help and direction of this forum. Took me 3 months with alot of trial and errors, and alot of erasing and reinstalling DVDRWs but i got there in the end and am very pleased with it.

What i wanted to do was give my xp pro, a new look and be fully unattended with integrated addons, vista look, and with only having to select a fresh partition. This i have achieved, but i have my own personal APPs that i wanted to integrate into the OS,m either in My Documents or in my C/Drive, this i wasnt able to get my head around, or read wether this can be done. So what i ended up doing was, convert these apps into a iso file and place it in the OS in a folder called Applications, to wich i can run the disk again after installation and click on browse CD, and then drag it off and into my documents were i am then able to extract the iso and install, the apps when needed.

But im thinking there must be a easier way, to integrate it in the OS, under my specified destination, without having to go through this process.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Dave

Thanks mate, but the apps i have i dont want them to be preinstalled to the OS itself i want to install them to a folder in My Documents or a folder in my C/Drive, for which i can install when and if i want to at a later date. If that makes sense.

You could use $OEM$ folders for that for example, or silent, self-extracting archives (which don't install).
