WhatBackHand Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 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!

Alanoll Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 %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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatBackHand Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[BM]Crusher Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 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?
