Question about RunOnce.cmd

[geese howard]

How to use (if i can use) a COPY command in RunOnce.cmd??

For example, how to copy a wallpaper directly from instalation CD?

[crck3rz]

why not place walpapers in the $OEM$ distribution folders for example: \$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpapers\ Anything placed in this folder or any of the $OEM$ folders is copied across to the hard drive during setup.

Use the XCOPY command. Works for me!

If you're talking about putting the copy command directly into RunOnceEx.cmd it should work without a problem, but if you're wanting to put it in one of the registry entries, then it should start with a cmd.exe /c

Use the XCOPY command.  Works for me!

ok!

Can you give an example??

why not go one step further. use winrar to repackage, choose sfx option, and the best format, then alter the sfx options to what u want (ex: directory to the wallpaper one). this will create an executable w/ no switches needed & also add compression reducing the size & then add that to the runonce. i did and it works pretty **** good!!!!!

Can you give an example??

Start > run .. type: cmd

when it opens type xcopy /?

voila, example

an example would be:

ECHO Installing Cursors...
XCOPY /Q %systemdrive%\install\Cursors %systemroot%\Cursors
ECHO.

%systemdrive%\install\Cursors: this is where they are located at

%systemroot%\Cursors: this is where u want them installed to

this is the way i used to do it, but i just created a cursors folder in the system directory that way they are automatically added.
