r4esh Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 OEMPreInstaller is set to "Yes" and during the install it copied all the files in the $OEM$ folder, except for $OEM$\Installs folder. why is this? it was a big problem, because all my auto install flies werent copied thus they werent installed. what do i need to do to fix this?
r4esh Posted August 5, 2004 Author Posted August 5, 2004 My only guess to why this is, is maybe during install somhow it got deleted like maybe during windows' deletion of temp files or somthing. Any thoughts?
jrzycrim Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 $OEM$\Installs isn't a folder that will be copied over.You probably meant $OEM$\$1\Installs. That will be copied to %systemdrive%\InstallsSee http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/oemfolders.htm
prathapml Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Nothing you keep in "$OEM$\Installs" folder will get copied over to HDD.Look here for detailed info.
r4esh Posted August 5, 2004 Author Posted August 5, 2004 yes, that IS what i ment. but do you know why it didn't copy?
jrzycrim Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 You should have OemPreinstall = Yes, not OemPreinstaller.
prathapml Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 LOL , 2 answers, one after another, both saying the same thing!Do you think the solution could be anything else?yes, that IS what i ment. but do you know why it didn't copy?Did you bother to read the website link that jrzycrim & I gave (in the 1st 2 replies)?
r4esh Posted August 5, 2004 Author Posted August 5, 2004 ack, once again i did a typo, i ment install, not installer. so OEMPreInstall. yeah evreyhing is right i just tested this in Virtual PC 04. durning the install my HD ran outa space and i had to delete some stuff to continue the emulation. do you think that it was just the virtual PC that messed it up?

If you run out of space during installation then that certainly would cause some problems. I can't answer specifically not knowing the exact details.Good Luck
nodiaque Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 are you using any batch files? Maybe you have a delete command into your batch files or command.txt
