using more then 1 $OEM$ directory

[MCT]

im creating a multiboot dvd eventually going 2 have about 8 OS's on it, but i want 2 have these options

regular

unattended + drivers

unattended + programs + drivers

ive got option 1 & 3 working great

but how can i have option 2 work, it doesnt want 2 use my

OemFilesPath = "\SETUP\XP\HOME\$OEM2$"

im assuming this code doesnt work as it should since its not being used

keep in mind tho, the directory structure is as the picture shows Ive Only Started on home

OemFilesPath is the path to your $OEM$ folder.

That would mean?

OemFilesPath = ".\SETUP\XP\HOME"

If this is the case. The you cannot have 2 $OEM$ in the same directory. So you could put 2 directories into that directory, then put each $OEM$ directory into each new directory that you just created.

-I386
-Dir1\$OEM$
-Dir2\$OEM$

Winnt.sif entries would be

OemFilesPath = ".\SETUP\XP\HOME\Dir1"

and the second winnt.sif

OemFilesPath = ".\SETUP\XP\HOME\Dir2"

This may work?

But you have 1 I386 Directory? Where is the 2nd winnt.sif?

Edit: And why did you not post in the Multi-Boot CD/DVDs forum?

this thread tell you how to do a multi cd

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=9478

why would you want two OEM folders? you might as well call the second one drivers...

[MCT]

i dont see anything explaining how to have more then 1 $OEM$ folder

[SlimShady]

why would you want two OEM folders?

Can't you use 1 OEM folder?

If you're making a multiboot CD/DVD, I assume you have multiple WINNT.SIF files.

Thus you can have a OEM folder for every installation.

[MCT]

correct, but instead of having 3 directories of "home" why not have 2 sets of $OEM$ which is smaller & cleaner looking IMO

[BritishBulldog]

I am not sure how you would do that, how would the OS know which OEM folder to use? OK you can set the drivers in the winnt.sif but what about anything else such as $$, $Docs $Progs folders that are automaticaly copied to where they are needed.

You would probably have to hack a few files or am i wrong at this assumption..

[MCT]

ive opted 2 just use a second "Home" folder ill optimize the iso so it doesnt take any more room, but it'll be a b***h 2 keep organized lol

I may have made error in judgement

OemFilesPath = ".\SETUP\XP\HOME"

winnt.exe is the interpreter for winnt.sif? So that would be the working directory. If this is the case then maybe

..\Dir1

and

,,\Dir2

Along with example above.
