MHz Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 OemFilesPath="%CDROM%\$oem$" ;OemFilesPath, as some of you know, in win2k and above there's a bug that causes the $OEM$ folder to not be copied.

Using this command makes the bug mute, since you're telling setup where the $OEM$ folder is.Hi darksimoon,The behavior is documented by Microsoft so it is by design.The %CDROM% variable may not work in your answer file. I would just try using OemFilesPath="\$OEM$". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsmokingman Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 To install XP from your HD or partition and have the OEM folder work, you have to place the OEM folderinside the i386 folder. The cmd script inside your source folderecho offstart i386\winnt32.exe /noreboot /tempdrive:E: /unattend:winnt.sifThe Cmd outside of the source folderecho offstart E:\SOURCE_FOLDER_NAME\i386\winnt32.exe /noreboot /tempdrive:E: /unattend:winnt.sif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
