OEM Folders

[yulyo]

Hy friends.

My first post here, but i really need some help. It might be some VERY stupid questions, but i just cannot find the right answer here on the forum.

I want to do a few things:

1. copy new wallpapers on my new WINXP cd

i made this: i create a $OEM$ folder, in this folder i create another one named $$, then Web, then Wallpapers (with or without "s"?????)

2. put two .exe files to desktop

i made this: i create a $Docs folder, in this folder i create another one named "Home" (the name of my computer), then a folder named "Desktop" and in this folder i put the two .exe files. (i think this is so very wrong but...)

3. put two folders cointaining 2 .exe files in Program files folder

i made this: i create a $Progs folder and in this folder i put my folders

So now i have this:

$OEM$

------$$-------Web-----Wallpapers

------$Docs-----Home-----Desktop----- 1.exe

.................................................------2.exe

------$Progs----- Folder1

.................------Folder2

As expected...nothing works

Now, i have a original WIN XP SP2, i slipstreamed SP3, after that i add my addons, settings etc and create a iso image. I opened the image wit Magic ISO, and i have added the complete $OEM$ folder to the root of the image. I have test it with VMWare, everything works fine but my OEM folders are missing...

Thank you very much for any help.

You maybe need this in your winnt.sif

OemPreinstall=Yes

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?

It's C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper\ - $$\Web\Wallpaper\ (no "s") Edited December 15, 2008 by an3k

OS: none

Set your wallpaper, make sure it's where you know it is, for example %Systemroot%\Web\Wallpapers or just %Systemroot%

Save your theme, integrate that exact theme you saved with nLite.

After nlite is finished make folder on the ISO root directory before making ISO:

$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpapers

and copy the wallpaper there.

Or $OEM$\$$ if the wallpaper is in the %Systemroot%.

EDIT:

I saw now that nuhi writed like this: "After nlite is finished make folder on the ISO root directory before making ISO"

I add my $OEM$ folder inside the iso. Could this be a problem?

Thank you

Anybody can help me with this one please?

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.

This is how my $OEM$ folder looks like.

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...

Same problem here!

I did all of the tips and advices but the result is "nothing copies from "$OEM$"

I'm using nLite and i set the OEM Preinstall to Enabled, checked the Winnt.sif the OemPreinstall set as Yes.

I made the $OEM$ folder at the root of the CD including $$ and...

$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper

$OEM$\$$\system32

$OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes

I did nuhi's advice:

"After nlite is finished make folder on the ISO root directory before making ISO"

Nothing copies

Am i missing something!? any advices will be helpfull.

[Alintoro]

Any suggestion!?

Please attach your "winnt.sif" - delete the productkey before.
