$OEM$ under i386

[hyrax]

HI,

Around a year ago I setup an unattended install of windows with a few app's, installing over a network from a network boot disk. I thought it was time to improve / update.

I came across this site and have since updated my unattended installs, however I am having a problem with the $OEM$ directory.

When you run setup manager, the $OEM$ directory is placed "inside" the i386 directory ( for a network install ).

Does anyone have any idea why this is different to the CDROM based install ( as per this site, ie, $OEM$ along side i386 ).

I spend a little while wondering why my $OEM$ wasn't copying over, then realised this to be the problem ( I had the $OEM$ along side the i386 ).

Any insights?

Regards,

Scott

Hmm.. After finishing another test install, I have come across a problem with $oem$ being under i386. All files under i386 need to be in the 8.3 filename convention, hence all my directories and file names get truncated and do not run.

I really just need $oem$ back along side i386... *arrgh*

Well it seems I have answered my own question. You can bring the $oem$ alongside, but you need to add a line to your unattended.txt file.
