Vann Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 When performing and unattended install using winnt32.exe's /makelocalsource option, it doesn't appear that the $OEM$ folder is copied. Is there any way to get Windows to do this when using /makelocalsource? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdalling Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Mine works every time, are you using i386 as the source dir with the proper $OEM$?Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vann Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 On the CD-ROM drive, call it E:, I have:E:\files\i386\ and E:\files\$OEM$I run:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\files\i386\winnt32.exe /unattend:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\files\i386\winnt.sif /s:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\files\i386 /syspart:C: /tempdrive:C: /makelocalsourceIs this all correct? Setup runs fine, but there is no $OEM$ folder in C:\$WIN_NT$.~LS, nor is anything in my $OEM$ directory copied anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 %systemdrive% wont work if your refering 2 your cdrom driveu need 2 do something likeIF EXIST E:\Files\i386\winnt.32.exe set CDROM=E:so then u would type %CDROM%\files\i386\winnt32.exe /unattend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vann Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 I am first booting into BartPE, where %SystemDrive% does refer to the CD-ROM drive. Other than $OEM$ not being copied, the installation goes fine. That's my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 do u have the oempreinstall=yes in your winnt.sif file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vann Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Thanks MCT. I didn't realize that was an option in winnt.sif. More was wrong, but after that I figured it out.A question, though: why does every guide say that $OEM$ should be in the same directory at i386? My install only copied it properly once I copied it into i386 (i.e., E:\files\i386\$OEM$). Any idea? Even Microsoft's site has them in the same directory.
