one question here..

[GuiRunOnce]

%systemdrive%\install\start.cmd

is that path located on the cd or the harddrive? and if its on the cd then whats the use of this (considering that you cant delete files of a cd-r)? -->

ECHO Deleting Temp Installation Files...

RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Drivers

RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install

[GuuZ]

%systemdrive% redirects to the Hard Drive where windows is installed.. Mostly C:\

so im guessing that it will copy start.cmd to the %systemroot%\install directory? this part confuses me. where should i put start.cmd? in the install directory on the cd?

mmkay....

there should be a folder called $OEM$ alongside your I386 directory if you're installing via CD and inside if from another method.

Inside that folder create a folder called $1 , this will map to the drive windows is installed on. Anything else you put in the $1 will be copied over, folders and all. Put ANY files you want copied in here. If you created $1\Drivers then a Drivers folder will be created on your systemdrive.

and as a note, as you've used two different variables in two posts...

%systemdrive% = the DRIVE LETTER that windows is install on, usually C:

%systemroot% = the DRIVE LETTER AND WINDOWS directory. Usually C:\Windows

start.cmd should be placed in the $OEM$\$1\install directory on the CD.

OEMPreinstall=Yes in the winnt.sif file will copy the contents of the $1 directory to the %systemdrive%.

Edit: Bugger, you beat me to it.
