a06lp Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 (edited) Hi,I have a great U-DVD all setup. However, it is not the best setup in terms of file locations.Everything runs from the DVD itself. Very few files actually get copied over to the hard drive. This is how I want to keep it.I want to know:If I put my folders into $OEM$ (not $OEM$\$1 or $OEM$\$$) will they get copied to the hard drive?CD..|--$OEM$.........|-- $1.........|-- $$..............|-- System32.........|-- Applications.........|-- _Tools.........|-- cmdlines.txt..|--cmpnents..|--I386..|--SETUP.EXE..|--win51ip.SP2Again, I don't want the folders "Applications" and "_Tools" to be copied to the hard drive. I just want all my OEM stuff in one place, if possible.Will this work? or will everything in $OEM$ get copied during the text-setup?[edit]to make this a little more clear, i'd layout everything as described above, and then run it, like so:cmdow @ /HID@ECHO OFFfor %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i:start %CDROM%\$OEM$\WPI\WPI.htaEXIT Edited February 17, 2005 by a06lp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 No, it doesn't get copied. It is a place holder for stuff like cmdlines.txt and others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06lp Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 that is interesting. cmdlines.txt never actually gets copied over to the hard drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I don't think so, in my first attempt at Unattended Installations I wasn't cleaning the hard drive at first. I had to manually delete the folder on the system drive and those files weren't there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06lp Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 can others confirm that folders within $OEM$ (besides the obvious $1, $$, $Progs, $Docs) will NOT be copied over to the hard drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekrel Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 dont think they do. Because $OEM$ doesnt represent a location within the windows install.Also i remember once out of interest searching for my RunonceEx (in oem folder) to see if it needed deleting via batch file, but never found it.Either they get copied and deleted automatically (highly unlikely) or they are not copied over at all.
