How to specify $OEM$ subfolder...dollar signs or spaces?

[JustShootIt]

If I have an executable in $OEM$\$Progs, which way do I specify the path in "WINNT.SIF"...

...using the dollar sign?

[GuiRunOnce]
%systemdrive%\$Progs\executable.exe

...or with the resulting folder name?

[GuiRunOnce]
"%systemdrive%\Program Files\executable.exe"

Also, if the path is quoted, will the program execute?

[MrJinje]

Definitely not the first one, but the second one probably will work, if not can always specify program files directly.

"%ProgramFiles%\executable.exe"

For a listing of other environment variables, see table at end of page here.

As for quotes, yes they will run and in fact are required.

how do u create the $OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper folder?????

There is already a $OEM$ folder when you go to explore option (just before you make the iso) in nlite

do you just create a folder for Web and in that folder again for Wallpaper?

where does the $$ come in

and where exactly do i have to disble windows file protection?

MSFN has a page devoted to $OEM$ Distribution Folders, Bendfella. I have recently answered questions regarding this.

Windows File Protection is a separate matter. MSFN also has a page devoted to this as a walkthrough with nLite.
