Hi, I cant find the distribution folder in the copied windows 7 installation cd? when I open it the copied cd I see boot, efi, langpacks, sources, support, upgrade, and the WPI folder that I copied to the root of the installation folder. When I open the sources folder I see $OEM$ folder, is this where I should copy the downloaded sources folder? thanks in advance

The %Distribution_Folder% is the folder name you given and where all Windows 7 files will be copied.

Example: C:\Win7_SP1

Copy the folder $oem$ (extracted from Sources.rar) inside C:\Win7_SP1\sources\

Copy WPI folder on C:\Win7_SP1\ and launch WPI.exe to cutomize your silent installations!

That's done!

Thank You so much , thats what I thought it was, excuse my neewbishness, Im still learning, this is really a great program!! Better than nlite!! Do you plan on adding an option to add drivers to a windows 7 installation? I would love to see that!! I currently use DISM to add drivers...

You are welcome! :)

About drivers integration you will find help also here using Windows 7:

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/152813-how-to-create-an-oem-folder/

You can also use WPI to add some specific drivers but it's needed to work a little using SFX files !

Example:

Scan3970.txt


;!@Install@!UTF-8!
; Mode silencieux pour HP Scanjet3970 series x86
GUIMode="2"
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c xcopy \"%%T\\*.*\" %SYSTEMDRIVE%\\Drivers\\Scanjet\\ /s /e /i /y"
RunProgram="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\\Drivers\\Scanjet\\DPInst32.exe /SW"
;!@InstallEnd@!

Enjoy !
