jfx_ Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 You maybe need this in your winnt.sif[unattended] OemPreinstall=Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuamorgan Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 When you say the $OEM$ folders are missing, do you mean they are absent from the CD-ROM or they weren't copied to the hard disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an3k Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 create a new directory on C:\ if not already done and call it XPCD. This is now the root of your Resource Directory. In C:\XPCD you copy the whole content of your original XP Setup-CD.Now you create the directory $OEM$ in C:\XPCD\ (or just move it .C:\XPCD\ |--\$OEM$\ |--\$$\ |--\$1\ |--\$Docs\ |--\$Progs\ |--\I386\$$ = %SYSTEMROOT% = (mostly) C:\WINDOWS\$1 = %SYSTEMDRIVE% = (mostly) C:\$Docs = %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\$Progs = %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\If you want to know what the correct path is for wallpapers, screensavers or anything else, browse your current installation. I find my Wallpapers saved in C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper, thus i copy my custom ones into C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper\ and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yulyo Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) This is how my $OEM$ folder looks like.Maybe isn't possible to do what i want.... I just don't know...By the way.

Geej Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Forgive me for suggesting another alternative. How about try HFslip if OEM folders things gets too confusing for you.Personally, I find HFSlip much easier to work with especially the Program files/windows folders etc (if u read the instruction on it's website ). Besides, it takes switchless silent-application exe (w/o the need for entries.ini stuff like that)Also GUIRunonce is much easier to implement. Just my view...
