$OEM$ directory won't copy

[GPhoenix]

Hello,

I've recenctly built my own unattended XP CD and i'm trying to include some programs by default.

I'm using the oem folder but at the end I've got message "E:\install\directx\dxsetup.exe file not found" using RunOnceEx(E: in my install drive, no problem).

But what is strange is that I've made a folder that is just supposed to be copied (folder $OEM$\$1\toinstall\)

This folder contains some program that I have to install manually.

So I think that folders in my $oem$ directory don't copy on my hard drive.

What did I did wrong?

Make sure you have OemPreinstall=Yes in the [unattended] section of your winnt.sif file.

Also, why are you specifying drive E: and not drive C: ?

I suggest you put the files/directories you want to install in $OEM$\C\INSTALL - this way the files will end up in C:\Install and you run them from there. This is what I've been doing for 5 years with no problem.

because vista is on C..

I don't beleieve that I forget the OemPreInstall... d*mn...

Thanks anyway, I'll try correcting that and keep you posted
