some random q's

[a06lp]

Let me see if I understand this...

1) Both files (OEMClean.reg, OEMClean.bat) should be in my $OEM$\$$ dir (so that they are copied to windows\system32)

2) in my winnt.sif, I have:

[GuiRunOnce]
    %systemdrive%\install\WPI20b15\wpi.cmd
    regedit /S C:\Windows\System32\OEMClean.reg

3) My OEMClean.reg should be:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"OEMCleanup"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\OEMClean.bat"

4) My OEMClean.bat should be:

Deltree /Y C:\Install
Deltree /Y C:\Drivers
Deltree /Y C:\Windows\System32\OEMClean.reg
Deltree /Y C:\Windows\System32\OEMClean.bat
(or basically, my cleanup file)

Q1) Is this implemented correctly?

Q2) This should cause my wpi.cmd to run now, and my OEMClean to run AFTER my next startup (meaning AFTER I reboot the machine?) - namely, after all my programs install, then I reboot, then this runs?

Q3) Can I change my OEMClean.bat to be a ".cmd" file? (assuming I change all references of OEMClean.bat to OEMClean.cmd, will this still work?)

The way you have it would work if you want to delete it all the very next time you boot the computer. Myself, I have files in there I like to use until it's time to ship it out to the customer, so I use the GuiRunOnce to setup the batch files on the desktop, and then from there I use those batch files to setup the cleanup on next reboot. This is my GuiRunOnce:

[GuiRunOnce]

    Command0="C:\Windows\System32\OEMPrep.bat"

Which, as shown above, copies my bit.bat (Burn-In-Test batch file) and sysprep.bat to the All Users desktop. The OEMClean.bat file is run from the registry after you use sysprep.bat to add it in. And yes, it should work fine using OEMClean.cmd, I'm just old school and used to making batch files instead of cmd files

Technically, all of those files could be copied to the C:\OEM directory with everything else, but I wanted to make it easy to launch the files without having to specify the location. Just a personal preference. If you stick them all in C:\OEM, then you only need one line to delete all the files:

Deltree /Y C:\OEM

Meh, I may do this still tbh. Still working out how to make it best. A preinstallers work is never done, heh.

Ok, I finished making the changes I wanted. Could you look over this code, and make sure I applied it correctly?

winnt.sif

[GuiRunOnce]
    %systemdrive%\install\WPI20b15\wpi.cmd
    regedit /S %systemdrive%\install\cleanup.reg

cleanup.reg

the cleanup.cmd is also deleting some shortcuts from programs which should be installed on the FIRST BOOT. As I understand this method, cleanup.cmd will run on the SECOND BOOT. Is this correct?

Thanks!!!

(PS - my cleanup.reg and cleanup.cmd are in "$OEM$\$1\Install\" )
