skin2003 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Could someone paste an example of an $$Rename.txt and the location of it. I have tried sometimes, but I do not have VirtualPC/VMWare, so it takes me forever to reinstall a machine just to find out that it didn't work.Thanks.

Professor Frink Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Here's mine. The entries may not make any sense, since they are things for my office. But it should give you an idea how it works:[\WINNT\ZAWSYS]SetupM~1.exe="SetupMsgBox.exe"SetupM~2.exe="SetupMsgBoxDriver.exe"Suppor~1.LNK="Support Information.LNK"Zawntm~1.bat="Zawntmenu.bat"Make sure you put it in the \$oem$\$1 folder.

motordude Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Ok this is probably going to be a stupid question but what does this do?[\WINNT\ZAWSYS]SetupM~1.exe="SetupMsgBox.exe"SetupM~2.exe="SetupMsgBoxDriver.exe"Suppor~1.LNK="Support Information.LNK"Zawntm~1.bat="Zawntmenu.bat"I am figuring $$Rename.txt is going to rename something but I don't understand what or why.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarable Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I did a quick search on Google and came up with this page from Microsoft.http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...icb_ui_wbgu.aspI only quickly scanned through it, but it all has to do with running winnt.exe to install Windows from DOS. Since DOS doesn't recognize long filenames it trunkates them all. The setup program will look for a $$Rename.txt in a folder (any folder if I understand correctly) and then it renames the trunkacted files in that folder back to the long filenames they're supposed to have.
