OemPreinstall and reg tweaks


Recommended Posts

Hello,

This could be a stupid question but I am learning...

I have my winXP Pro modified. I only want to include updates and a few registry tweaks. This part is done.

I want/need to keep "OemPreinstall" set to "No" in "winnt.sif".

Now, I read that if "OemPreinstall" is set to "No", setup will not look in "$OEM$" folder. In "$OEM$" folder I have "cmdlines.txt" for my registry tweaks. So if I understand correctly it will not be copied/parsed/executed.

Now my question is - How to add/run my registry tweaks and keep "OemPreinstall" set to "No" ? Is there a way to copy the files so I can launch them with "GuiRunOnce" for example ?

Thanks in advance,

OJi.

ok....you can set OEMPreinstall =No

edit cmdlines.txt which will executed either OEMPreinstall is set to NO or Yes

save your reg tweaks in .reg files (Registry file) say..... MyTweaks.reg

then cmdlines.txt 's code

[Commands]
"regedit Mytweaks.reg /s"

Thanks for the fast reply.

I did not knew that it will be executed either OEMPreinstall is set to NO or Yes. I was reading here and it sais :

OemPreinstall=Yes

This option is default to No but if you are using the $OEM$ Distribution Folders then it needs to be set to Yes

I will try it. My mistake.

Thanks again,

OJi.

ohh....No Problem ! Its my pleasure.

OemPreinstall=Yes

This option is default to No but if you are using the $OEM$ Distribution Folders then it needs to be set to Yes

Thats right but...its mean...you can't perform any task related to OEM Installation such as copying oem vendor files and SCSI driver installion using $OEM$ folder etc...... but cmdlines.txt will work.
