Change the name of $OEM$ Folder ...

[smatanza]

Hey Guys !!

It´s is possible to change the name of $OEM$ Folder to any other ?. I mean, in the winnt.sif [unattended] section put anything like this:

OemFilesPath=".\MYNAME"

OemPnPDriversPath=".\MYNAME\DVRS\MODEM"

Other additional question. What it´s the correct way to point to a parent folder in a SIF file ?

1. .\ ?

2. ..\ ?

3. ../ ?

Thanks a lot for your help !!!!

Here's the info that I got from elsewhere:

[Unattended]
OemFilesPath="..\$OEM$"

That's only needed if you place your $OEM$ directory somewhere other than the root of the CD.

So, I suppose, you can actually call your $OEM$ as Any_Folder, and specify that in the winnt.sif? And it will work?

I've seen that the above mentioned entry actually refers to the SystemDrive, not the CD (i.e., OemFilesPath="..\My_Folder" would make setup search for a folder by that name on C:\, and not on the CD as desired).

As for the "OemPnPDriversPath" entry, it is a certain fact that setup searches for the directories mentioned here on the SystemDrive (partition on which you installed windows, i.e., C:\) only, and there's no way to make it look anywhere else.

Yep,

Setup adds %systemdrive% to the beginning of all directories listed in the OemPnPDriversPath. If you have

OemPnPDriversPath=".\MYNAME\DVRS\MODEM"

It would look in %systemdrive%\.\MYNAME\DVRS\MODEM.

Well...

Sorry for insists, but in conclusion and based in your posts ...

Isn´t possible to change the name of the $OEM$ Folder ?

Thanks !

Yes, you got it right.

Its not possible to change the name of the $OEM$ folder, atleast, not when you don't want to carry out the $OEM$ folder's funtionality manually!
