Will GuiRunOnce run commands or only Batch files?

[USAF_Guy]

Here's the scoop. I have some new Dells with an Intel SATA (82801ER SATA RAID Controller). I have tried extensivly to slipstream the drivers in my XP CD. Well, it can't be done (according to Bâshrat the Sneaky). So I have to use the TEXTMODE (with txtsetup.oem files) method to integrate it. Well, when you do this, you have to change the OemPreinstall to 'No'. This stops any files from the $OEM$ folder being copied to the HDD. My question, will the GuiRunOnce run commands or only batch files? Example below...

[GuiRunOnce]

IF EXIST D:\WIN51 set CDROM=D:

IF EXIST E:\WIN51 set CDROM=E:

IF EXIST F:\WIN51 set CDROM=F:

IF EXIST G:\WIN51 set CDROM=G:

IF EXIST H:\WIN51 set CDROM=H:

IF EXIST I:\WIN51 set CDROM=I:

IF EXIST J:\WIN51 set CDROM=J:

"%CDROM%\Software\start.cmd

i think you should add "cmd" in front of "if" entries...

(and close the " in last line)

I will give that a try and let you know......thanks for the post!

No go, this is what I get"

'Line 52 of the INF file \i386\winnt.sif is invalid'

Line 51: [GuiRunOnce]

Line 52: cmd IF EXIST D:\WIN51 set CDROM=D:

Instead of running the "IF" commands from the GuiRunOnce, create a batch file that gets copied to the HDD during the setup process (using OEM Preinstall) then put this command in the batch file:

FOR %%d IN (d: e: f: g: h: i: j: k: l: m: n: o: p: q: r: s: t: u: v: w: x: y: z:) DO IF EXIST %%d\WIN51 SET CDROM=%%d
%CDROM%\Software\start.cmd

Or, alternatively, instead of running a batch file from a batch file, just put the commands from the start.cmd into the batch file on the HDD, and run the programs from there.

I can't copy the files to the HDD. In order to have the SATA installed using TXTMODE I have to set OemPreinstall to 'No' which stops the copy process
