Adding cursors

[kame]

I've created an aero cursor pack for my xp unattended setup. So now I want to add it when installing windows that the cursors would be copied from the cab file. I've already made an inf file so now I need to make this work. I think this is called slipstreaming, right?

I use $OEM$ to adding cursors, themes, wallpapers.

My path is VRMPVOL_EN\$OEM$\$$\Cursors

for folder with extra cursors (VRMPVOL_EN is the root of source).

No, I don't want to use distribution folders. Because later if I accidentally delete those cursors I'll want to install them as optional component. So can anyone help me?

With what? Make it silent installer and choose to extract to %windir%\Cursors\

Nevermind I've did it by myself.

I have a video tutorial on how to make a INF theme addon, it may help in understanding how to make a addon that copies from the cab file http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=2619

All you would have to do is add a few things to your INF, like this section

[Optional Components]
CursorName

[CursorName]
OptionDesc=""
Tip=""
Modes=0,1,2,3
CopyFiles=CursorFileList.Section;<-This is the name of the section with a list of the cursor files
AddReg=AddReg.Section;<-This is the name of the section where you have the registry entries for the theme

[SourceDisksFiles]

[SourceDisksNames.x86]
etc...
etc...

Post your finished INF and Entries_*.ini when you think you are done and I will be happy to check them
