reinholdj Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 OK So I've read all the info on creating an unattended XP Pro CD, made the cd amd installed ok, except the $OEM$. I recreated the cd again from scratch, yet the $OEM$ directory does not get copied across nor does it run, any ideas what I may be doing wrong? It is the American Dollar sign or Shift 4 is it not? Is there any command I need to type in to copy it across or what? Please help.
CWorks Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 the $OEM$ folder needs to be parallel to i386 $OEM$ i386 README.HTM spnotes.htm etc.. etc...do you have $1 under $OEM$anything under $1 gets copied to the root of the drive where windows is installed$OEM$\$1\Install\ gets copied to c:\installfiles or folders do not get copied under $OEM$ unless there in a $1, $$, $Docs or $Progs folder$Docs - Documents and Settings$Progs - Program Files$$ - Windows Folder$1 - Root of hard drive where Windows is installed to
reinholdj Posted June 7, 2004 Author Posted June 7, 2004 I am almost sure it is, I will go back and make double sure of it. I will repost an exact reply 08/06/2004. If it is there, any idea what could be wrong?
Alanoll Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 OEMPreInstall=YES is missing in Winnt.sifOr you could have two entries of it, one with YES and another NO.As you read on the previous page, we're using the $OEM$ distribution folders to install our favourite software, drivers, and registry tweaks. But to make this work, we need to specify two values in the winnt.sif file under [unattended]: [unattended]OemPreinstall=YesUnattendSwitch="yes"OemPreinstall=Yes instructs Windows XP Setup that there is an $OEM$ distribution share on the CD. This will tell setup to copy them over to the destination hard drive of where Windows is being installed.unattended.msfn.org
reinholdj Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 Alanoll, you genius man. I checked the Winnt.sif and as you said the oem preinstall is set to no, c below.[unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS UnattendSwitch=yes WaitForReboot=No KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom"Thanx again. I appreciate the help... :
