paddy100 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hi all - This is my first post on a fantastic website that has saved me loads of time and effort installing Windows. Most things can be draged straight from the guides into a win2k install with the exception of the $Progs folder. Is it just me that cant get it to work? Does anyone know a work around for it? The only program I tend to use it for is Winzip 9. Could it be the use of a different switch?Any help on this is appreciated Paddy100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hi Paddy100,Welcome to MSFN No, its not you committing any mistakes. The $Progs folder is itself not present in the win2k OEM folder lists - only on XP.How can you work-around?Make an SFX archive that extracts silently to %ProgramFiles%, and have it run from some other folder through your scripts.

paddy100 Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hi all, Found a work around. As I dont know yet about SFX archives and stuff like that this is the way I installed WinZip without the use of a $Progs folder.1) Download the Corporate Ed of Winzip 92) Extract the exe3) Move the files to 2kcd\$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\Winzip\*.*Add this code to your start.cmd file.ECHO.echo Installing WinZip 9MD %systemdrive%\"Program Files"\WinZipCopy %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Winzip\*.* %systemdrive%\"Program Files"\WinZip\*.*start /wait %systemdrive%\"Program Files"\winzip\winzip32.exe /noqp /autoinstallThis might seem a bit long winded but it Worked a treat for me.
