$OEM$\$1 can somebody de-confuse me?

[mapoupier]

Hey all!

I must admit you guy are doing a remarkable job! I found a load of valuable information around here... Anyway keep it up.

Now i have a small issue.

I use RIS on windows 2003 to deploy windows XP not SP1 for now.

in the folder \\server\REMINST\Setup\English\Images\WINDOWS\$OEM$

i created a folder $1 which is supposed to be copied to the %systemdrive% I put a folder in there containing pagedefrag...

i also created a folder $$ that contains beenhere.txt which is a test...

My confusion starts here, when the setup run i can press Shift F10 to open a command prompt then i go in the folder $Win_nt$.~ls\$OEM$

All the data is there but this beautiful data never get copied to the c:\ or c:\windows?

but I have a problem which it might be related too, i install winamp 5.03 using the /S parameter, it work up to there and installs winamp but i stay stuck with the Registration kind of form even if i have the taskkill command.

start "WinAMP" /wait "winamp\winamp503_full.exe" /S
taskkill /f /im winamp.exe

in the end when the station reboots and i log in the $Win_nt$.~ls\$OEM$ is not deleted but all the data inside is gone?

anyway so the questions are:

1. why is $1 data not copied properly or how can i troubleshoot it?

2. why is the $Win_nt$.~ls\$OEM$ not killed or how can i troubleshoot it?

3. god **** how do we kill this F#($&* window from winamp?

thanks!

i dunno about your particular case... but in general, $OEM$ won't copy if OEMPreinstall=No is set... it has to be set to yes...

and usually UnattendSwitch=yes has to be set as well for all else to go as planned...

if you check the application switches forum, there is a special winamp 5.03a silent install MSI package that someone made... allows full customisation of winamp install procedure and works perfectly in silent mode i use it so i can vouch for it

I'm lovin' the latest winamp version. That msi installer is great!

[[BM]Crusher]

yeah, finally a customisable silent installer... no more video support!.. no more media organiser bulls*** program!... allows you to set up exactly what you need and nothing you dont

(i hate winamp wanting to be default player for all video types and despise the media organiser thing)

[mapoupier]

That was it, thanks!

as for winamp i can not find the winamp.msi looks like all the links i see are broken....
