how does \$1\$Progs work?


Recommended Posts

I followed this article from MSFN to install mIRC in an unattended windows XP CD but it turns out that after the successful installation of windows on the virtual machine (VMware), the folder mIRC was not copied into C:\Program Files ; and the other programs i had put inside \$OEM$\$1\$Progs have not been copied either.

Does it need to be some sort of Command line in any files to make this?

Thanks for your help

also, its not $OEM$\$1\$progs

its $OEM$\$Progs

$1 & $progs & $docs & $$ run parallel 2 each other (meaning all those are inside $OEM$ not each other

AND in your .sif file as stated above YES needs 2 be impimented

hope it helps :)

Great. Now it should work.

I have another question (=problem)

under \$OEM$\$1 i have cmdlines.txt and RegTweaks.reg (and also a folder called install which proved to be working as \$OEM$\$1\install\batch_file.cmd worked during the installation)

But i have noticed that none of the RegTweaks had been merged!

Where do you think it could come from?

here is my cmdlines.txt file:

ECHO.

ECHO Applying Registry Tweaks...

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\RegTweaks.reg

?? thanks in advance!

you should place cmdlines.txt on the \$OEM$. files you'll be placing at \$OEM$\$1 are just the files that will be copied on the target hard disk's root folder. as in the case of regtweaks.reg, you should place them on \$OEM$\$1\install.

Perfect answer edmoncu :-)

But the question now would be...

What is the best :

Adding REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\RegTweaks.reg to batch_file.cmd or place it in a file called cmdlines.txt in \$OEM$

??

which is preferable? (if there are any sort of ORDER in the happening of the installation)
