The software directory is not copied to HD!

**tester444** · January 25, 2005

Greetings

Hi, i'm new here but i always read threads from time to time, and i always find the answers that helpme doing what ever i needed to do.. But i codn't solve this problem after days of trying till i giveup!!.. anyway..

My problem here is that:

After installing windows XP Home SP2 from an unattend installation CD i made the Batch file for application preinstallation doesn't work and the "Install" folder is not copied to the HardDisk...!

Keys:

1) I make an WinXP Home SP1 and i didn't have any problem in preinstallated softwares.

2) I used with SP2 CD the same batch/sif files and Directory structure i used with SP1 CD.

3) After installing from my SP1 CD i find a directory named "Install" in the HD which have my preinstalled softwares (Note: i didn't make any cleanup files) but with SP2 CD that directory in not been copied to the HD!

4) Files in folder "$$" are copied to hard disk but folder "$1" which have the "Install" folder NO.

Note:

1) I don't won't to use RunOnceEX.CMD to preinstall softwares

2) I'm using hotfixes.CMD to install software and hotfixes and it's worked fine with My SP1 CD.

3) I don't wish to change my folder structure unless its neccesary for SP2.

Rule #0

Post in the correct forum. This should be in the Unattended section, reported and will be move later

Rule #1

dont post your serial

Rule #2

dont post code that long. place it in a text file and attach it.

[GuiRunOnce]Command0="%systemdrive%\Install\hotfixes\hotfixes.cmd"

that is an outdated method of installing hotfixes

a simpler method of doing this.

hotfix.exe /integrate:x:\xp-cd\

is your install folder located in xp-cd\$oem$\$1\Install ?

why would u want to copy your files to your hard disk?

why not leave the software on your CD or DVD?

in runonceEX.cmd all u need to do is replace

%systemdrive% with %cdrom%

and add to the top of RunonceEX.cmd

for %%i in (C 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 %%i:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i:

First:

Thanks for your quick responce

About Rules:

Rule #0

I was thinking which forum to post it's an unattend question but it's about Preinstalled Applications, so i decide wrong apparently..

Rule #1

Done Editied and deleted

Rule #2

Excuse me but it's my first Post, but considered done.. (Next time)

-----

About your question:

1) The new hotfix install method: hotfix.exe /integrate:x:\xp-cd\

I need more information about the line:

a- In which file i put this line?

b- What is the perpuse of the switch "/integrate"?

c- What is letter "x" how do i preffer to a CD drive which is changed from computer to another?

d- I'm not installaing from a network to use a folder like "xp-cd"

2) Is your install folder located in \$oem$\$1\Install ?

a- Yes, it is.

3) why would u want to copy your files to your hard disk?

a- It's not what i wont i saw what my SP1_CD made, i saw the "install" directory copied from the CD: "$oem$\$1\Install" to HD: "Install"

b- remember in my "winnt.sif" file i have a refrence:

[GuiRunOnce]Command0="%systemdrive%\Install\hotfixes\hotfixes.cmd"

* since i use %systemdrive% term it will lead to the my HD.

* i read from yours unattend site "http://unattended.msfn.org/" that the files will automatically copied to the HD intalled drive!!!

4) why not leave the software on your CD or DVD? in runonceEX.cmd all u need to do is replace %systemdrive% with %cdrom%

a- sorry but now i'm totally LOST!.. i have read a topic in this forum that says there is no term such as "%cdrom%" because of that we need to have the directories beening copied which is automatically done.

b- If i put the lines u said in the "runonceEX.cmd" file, what about the command in the "winnt.sif" file, is this the way i should right it:

[GuiRunOnce]Command0="%cdrom%\Install\hotfixes\hotfixes.cmd"

but in the "runonceEX.cmd" the term %cdrom% will be define, but in the "winnt.sif" how it will work??

5) pls read this link ... it will do u good

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=37499

a- i'm reading some pages, but i need to tell u i can't use some premerged hotfixes files because i'm not using English Interface..

Thanks a lot again, hope u can help me...

**tester444** · January 25, 2005

ok.. u know i tried to find the topic that said there is no "%cdrom%" term, but i didn't find it maybe in other forum..!.. anyway..

I will try the new steps u gave me tomorrow i want to sleep .. thanks in advance..

I still wondering: why it's worked for SP1? why the "Install" folder copied to HD in SP1 not SP2?

Note: i cann't use the premerged files like "RyanVM XP" because i Don't use English Interface..

See u tomorrow..

ahh your Arabic from lebanon

**tester444** · January 26, 2005

OK, i'm back..

I used some of the advises Mr. astalavista gave me and almost everything is looking goood..

1) In Winnt.sif file i tried this:

a- I used the code:

[GuiRunOnce]Command0="%cdrom%\Install\hotfixes\hotfixes.cmd"

It didn't worked at all, because as i said before the term %cdrom% isn't defined how the system will excute the file!

b- i defined the term %cdrom% in the RunonceEX.cmd file and put the defined term in the winnt.sif file, the same problem it didn't worked..

c- Finally i just removed the part [GuiRunOnce] from the winnt.sif completely.. i figured out that i don't needed at all in SP2

Note: The [GuiRunOnce] section contains commands to execute the first time an end user logs on to the computer after GUI-mode Setup completes... but the RunonceEX.cmd could do this maybe this is worked only in SP2.. i think..

2) In RunOnceEX.cmd file:

a- I put the code astalavista gave me to define the cdrom for the setup which is:

for %%i in (C 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 %%i:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i:

and i put it in the begaining of the file, after that i put the line:

SET SOFTWARE=%CDROM%\Install

which define the folder "install" in the cdrom to the term %software%

b- Now i added the following lines to run the batch (named hotfixes) i made to excute my preinstalled softwares from within the RunOnceEX.cmd file:

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Software Installation..." /f
REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%software%\hotfixes\hotfixes.cmd" /f

it's worked fine

.

3) In hotfixes.cmd file (Note: Just a name i choosed for my batch file):

a- i re-enter the cdrom definition codes as i putted in the RunOnceEX.cmd:

FOR %%a IN (C 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 %%a:\WIN51 SET CDROM=%%a:
SET SOFTWARE=%CDROM%\Install

it didn't worked without reputing them!!.. i put them in the start of the batch file.

b- i used the term %software% i just defined in the start of the patch before the software switch.. example:

@echo off
FOR %%a IN (C 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 %%a:\WIN51 SET CDROM=%%a:
SET SOFTWARE=%CDROM%\Install
ECHO.

======

Now every thing is good thanks Mr. astalavista..

But...

I still have one more question about .NET Framework, i used the switch u just seen above, but it asked to Insert .NET Disk!!!!... how could i solve that???

Thanks..

Note: I do a search and i found some who get the same problem with .NET, this is the link: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...74&hl=framework

you know what was the answer "ryanvm" excuse me but i like to know and learn not to just use...

Best Regards
