Win2k variables and $OEM$ sub directories

[WhatBackHand]

I've had to go back and build an unattended install for W2k.

I've run into some XP - 2k differences, some of which are covered in threads here, but I'm struggling with variables and $OEMS$ sub-directories. Some variables work %ProgramFiles% for example, but %installdrive% doesn't, and my $OEM$\$Prog (or $Progs) doesn't get copied across.

As I said these variables and scripts work fine in XP, but there seems to be some differences in W2k.

Is there a reference, or a thread here that covers for these differences? I've searched, but can't find anything, maybe because I've not put the correct info into the serch.... Just as I struggled with the topic above!

%installdrive% shouldn't even work in XP unless YOU define it.

for a list of variables, open a cmd prompt, and type SET and that's all the variables

$Progs shouldn't work in 2k, nor should $Docs

So I could (should!) create my own variables in my install script, but I need to "manually" vopy over my $Progs etc? Is that right?

This isn't a problem, just want to be sure I'm being a numpty and wasting install time!

there should be the %systemdrive% variable, so you don't have to create your own one for that...

as for the $OEM$ directory, i think only $1 and $$ work properly out of the common ones?
