edbro Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 You can change your default Program Files directory in your winnt.sif. You don't even have to call it "program files".Put this in your [unattended] section chaning the drive and/or directory to be whatever you want.ProgramFilesDir="C:\My Program Files" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tguy Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 You could try running diskpart.exe with a script to create and format the D:\ from your cmdlines.txt or [GuiRunOnce] section.Then create a folder called D under the $OEM$ folder, ie: $OEM$\DCopy your programs to that drive and then run the scripts to install them from there.tguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadikan Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 OTI kind of always wondered why people try to separate the programs from the system. The only possible advantage I see is a smaller backup image of the partition. With a DVD burner this is not really a problem, IMHO. If you reinstall the system, most of the programs won't work anyway. So what's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 You can do it with winnt.sif here:[Unattended] ProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files" CommonProgramFilesDir="D:\Program Files\Common files"You can also specify the location of Documents and Setting here:[GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="E:\Documents and Settings\"BUT be aware that your partitions MUST be partitionned and formated BEFORE you launch your Unattended Installation... Otherwise you will get an error because Windows only format the destination drive (default = C:\Windows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
