Newbie Needs Help With Runonceex.cmd

[redserpent]

This is my file, but Ive removed a few of the programs that have serials.

The problem is my Drivers & InstallApps dont work.

My paths are:

K:\XPUnattendCorp\$OEM$\$1\Drivers

K:\XPUnattendCorp\$OEM$\$1\InstallApps

If I moved the InstallApps to the root of the CDRom drive it works.

Any ideas, whats wrong?

I thought the $1 copied stuff to the hard disk but its not working (Im using VMWare).

Well if you want to install from the cd as you have indicated you will

need to move installapps to the root of the cd and not under $1, thats

my guess..........

You need to follow the unattended guide to the letter, found off the home page here. If your new to UA installs please conquer the batch file method then move onto RunonceEx & CD method from there. Best advice I can give ya & don't expect to happen in five minutes mines taken nearly 18 Months to conquer. Good luck.

You should have a folder called InstallApps in your cd root. Try to keep it more standard. Here's mine. I have a folder called Apps in the root of my cd.

Thanks for your help guys.

But why isn't the $1 stuff working, correct me if im wrong but I thought it copys that directory over to the hard disk ?

K:\XPUnattendCorp\$OEM$\$1\Drivers

K:\XPUnattendCorp\$OEM$\$1\InstallApps

I guess you could post your winnit.sif without serial etc little difficult to analyze without it.

I think the $OEM$ is suppose to be under i386.

Hi Redserpent

This is the first thing to do before posting

http://unattended.msfn.org/global/oemfolders.htm

hmmmm, why did you call %cdrom% when you are supposed to call it from %systemdrive%.. ( you dont wanna de apps on your HD?)

Good luck!

OEMPreInstall=YES

Have that in your WINNT.SIF.

And read THIS if you read nother else : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=270687

Second, you're batch file is set to install from the CDROM, not HDD. That's why when moving InstallApps to the root of the CD, it work.

FOR %%i IN (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:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i:

Finds the CDROm

SET PP=%cdrom%\InstallApps\

If you don't know what that is, then don't use it.

And $OEM$ should go in the I386 folder ONLY when installing from a network share or similar. From CD installs, it goes along side the I386 folder.
