mccorm79 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I tried to run an unattended network setup using BartPE to map the network drive. Windows XP setup fine, but my RunOnceEx.cmd did not run.My cmdlines.txt is in my $OEM$ folder.[Commands]"RunOnceEx.cmd"The drivers did not update at all. I am sure they are correct because after the install the same drivers installed fine. I put all my INF files into the driver folder (there are no subfolders)The only thing that worked was setting up windows XP. Does anyone know what happened. I assume there was sometype of networking problem. The folder where the files are stored needs to be accessed using a password. I really do not know what happened.

Professor Frink Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I had a similar problem. It started fine, but then the drivers didn't install correctly. As a result of that, it couldn't reconnect to the server for the application installation.Are you sure that each driver path is exactly where the .inf file is? So instead of "Drivers\Network", it might be something like "Drivers\Network\3com\e1000\W2K_XP", or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorm79 Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 There are no subfolders in the driver folder. On the microsoft site it has a different distrubution folder layout. Do I need to follow this or can I use the one on this site.http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen....asp?frame=trueI am going to try it again.

homiebrah Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Try changing your cmdlines.txt file to this:[COMMANDS]".\RunOnceEx.cmd" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorm79 Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 My OEM folder is not being copied. Do I need to use OEMfilePath for a network install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Frink Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 As part of my network install, I have this in my answer file:[SetupMgr] DistFolder=c:\winxp\I386 DistShare=winxp$Do you have something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Frink Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 There are no subfolders in the driver folder. So you just have one driver folder and nothing else, with all driver files bundled together? I wonder if that will work, or if you'd need separate folders for each one. I'm not sure, but maybe someone else here can answer that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How to I add permissions to a shared folder so the setup will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipsed Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 if you use commands.txt you should put the [Commands] into the row 12. atleast that's the problem I had in WinNT unattended installs and I put that to WinXP unattended install aswell, haven't had any problems since.
