swain90 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Hi People,I'm using a volume lisence copy of Windows XP Pro. We currently use virtual machines to teach beginers how to install a fresh copy of windows xp. Because we are using virtual machines and due to restrictuons to the users vm's I am wanting to install VMWare Tools at the RunOnceEx part of the install (just before the user gets logged on).Nothing is unattended all i've added to the original image is the $OEM$\$1\Install\<vmwarefiles> folders and files and also the cmdlines.txt and RunOnceEx.cmd files. The RunOnceEx process runs and I can get it to install from the disk but for some reason my files don't copy to the system drive even though they're in the correct path to do so "$OEM$\$1\Install\<vmwarefiles>" (or so i think).Does anyone know of a reason why it wouldn't copy the files accross to the systemdrive?ThanksSwain90 Edited April 3, 2012 by swain90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
