Chudd Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I got my DVD to boot using nLite and all went well until booting into the OS where the batch file was to run and install a couple programs.Here is my winnt.sif file at the [GUIRunOnce] section which is where I should put the command right?[GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\start.cmdI have the batch file in the $OEM$\$1\Install directory. Funny thing is that when I run the file by double clicking it it works. I did see a DOS window pop up and show Error, but I couldn't see what it said.Anyone have an idea why I got the error?Thanks,Chudd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushidou Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Did you copy winnt.sif to C:\XPCD\I386\ ? (before you create the ISO)...also check spelling of batch-file.. etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 put a "pause" in your batch file, so u can read the error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 you of course of the file in $OEM$\$1\Install on your CD?you also have OEMPreInstall=YES in your winnt.sif file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chudd Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 Did you copy winnt.sif to C:\XPCD\I386\ ? (before you create the ISO)Yes, the winnt.sif file is in the I386 folder on my disk.you of course of the file in $OEM$\$1\Install on your CD?Yes, the file is in the right place on the disk. It even got copied to the hard drive after install. Furthermore, I ran it after install and it worked perfectly. Just didn't work DURING install.you also have OEMPreInstall=YES in your winnt.sif file?Yes my winnt.sif has the entry in it. I know that worked because my video drivers installed during install as well.Just wasn't sure if I missed something simple. Seems like the most obvious solutions are already done.put a "pause" in your batch file, so u can read the error I will try this and see what it says.Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chudd Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 DDUUUHHHHH!!!!!! Figured out what I did. Something stupid (which I keep getting better at )I created my ISO image with nLite but little did I know that nLite creates it's own winnt.sif file. So the one that it created was the one that ran. Stiil not bad though...I have used Magic ISO Maker to edit my image file and will make a new DVD and try, try again.Chudd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
