The IF Exist statements are supposed to be at the top of your Start.cmd file. They will also need to be added to any other cmd files you have as well. Remove them from your Winnt.sif and you shouldn't get any more problems.

Also don't forget that you'll need a blank txt file called CD.TXT in the root of your XP CD in order for the if exist statements to work correctly.

@Black-Panther & @viceversa please edit both posts and delete the keys. that key it's the most used for piracy purposes and every admin will delete them and close the thread.

the solution to Black-Panther's problem:

[GuiRunOnce]
%CDROM%\$oem$\$1\install\start.cmd

and for start.cmd

@echo off
IF EXIST D:\CD.txt set CDROM=D:
IF EXIST E:\CD.txt set CDROM=E:
IF EXIST F:\CD.txt set CDROM=F:
IF EXIST G:\CD.txt set CDROM=G:
IF EXIST H:\CD.txt set CDROM=H:
IF EXIST I:\CD.txt set CDROM=I:
IF EXIST J:\CD.txt set CDROM=J:

[Black-Panther]

mate , i did another thing on the start.cmd ... it copies all to %systemdrive%installl and then run from the pc , afterwards deletes it ...

but the thing is the %systemdrive% at the winnt.sif ... tells me :

cannot find c:\$oem$\s$1\install\start.cmd ...

its thinks that %systemdrive% = C:\

I dont know why , can you help me ?

[CoffeeFiend]

[GuiRunOnce]
%CDROM%\$oem$\$1\install\start.cmd

and for start.cmd

@echo off
IF EXIST D:\CD.txt set CDROM=D:
IF EXIST E:\CD.txt set CDROM=E:
IF EXIST F:\CD.txt set CDROM=F:
IF EXIST G:\CD.txt set CDROM=G:
IF EXIST H:\CD.txt set CDROM=H:
IF EXIST I:\CD.txt set CDROM=I:
IF EXIST J:\CD.txt set CDROM=J:

Uh, I'm sorry but I do have to say you're wrong here (maybe lacking sleep such as I am?)

GUIRunOnce cannot possibly use the %CDROM% variable to call start.cmd which has to set %CDROM% in the first place...

There's a better way to set your %CDROM% with a single line of code too (that I've posted a while before).

@Black-Panther: I'd definately call microsoft product support for some help with your key

[Black-Panther]

hahahahha -> @Black-Panther: I'd definately call microsoft product support for some help with your key lolololoLOLOLOLOLOL ROFLMAO ...

and mate ... please give me that command... :\

[visaversa]

[GuiRunOnce]
%CDROM%\$oem$\$1\install\start.cmd

sorry SiMoNsAyS, but that's never going to work...system variables just don’t work from winnt.sif.

As for removal of the key...i know this key is widespread and i see no reason to delete this from my post...for following reasons

1) This key will never work with SP2

2) People should realize that using that key is illegal

3) We never should give advice or help people with such keys…

If a admin want to delete, ok by me I don’t.

Amen

and to Black-Panther, please go somewhere else with your problems...

I'm afraid I'm personally under the impression of not helping people that openly admit to having pirated windows. If you dont' tell us, that's one thing, but.....geeeze....\

And for the record, %CDROM% won't work in GUIRunOnce as it's not defined. And the path is wrong, because $OEM$\$1 is copied over to %systemdrive%

There is nothing wrong with %systemdrive% being C: as that's the SYSTEMDRIVE. %systemroot% is C:\Windows typically.
