Files not copied from $OEM$\$1 to systemdrive

[lumted]

Following the guides on this site, and reading the forums, I've tried to create my own customized XP CD.

I've been able to slipstream SP2, RVM Update Pack, the great driver packs and a few other things.

I'm trying to automatically install apps with the RuneOnceEx method.

This is my directory structure:

XPCDROOT

-> $OEM$ (cmdlines.txt and RunOnceEx.cmd is in this dir)

---> $$ (cmdow and .inf files)

------> system32

---> $1

------> install (all installers are in this dir)

------> DP (BTS_DPs_Control_Panels.cmd)

-> DOCS

-> I386

.....

I'm using Virtual PC to test the CD.

The problem occurs when it's time to install the apps. Windows says it can't find the installers (and not the BTS_DPs_Control_Panels.cmd file either).

After Windows has finished booting, I go and take a look at the C drive. There is no "install" or "DP" directory in the systemdrive (C:\).

Here are my files:

cmdlines.txt:

[COMMANDS]
"RunOnceEx.cmd"

RunOnceEx.cmd:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

Doing a bit more checking, I see that cmdow.exe in the $$ folder has been copied to the system32 folder.

So, what am I doing wrong? Why are not the files in the $OEM$\$1\install folder on the CD copied over to c:\intall during installation?

You do have OEMPreInstall=YES in your WINNT.SIF file?

[lumted]

Doh!

This was my winnt.sif:

[Data]
	MSDosInitiated= "No"
[GUIRunOnce]
	command8= "%SystemDrive%\DP\BTS_DPs_Control_Panels.cmd"
	command9= "CMD /C RD /S /Q %SystemDrive%\DP"

New winnt.sif:

;SetupMgrTag

[bledd]

my cmdlines and RunOnceEx are in the $oem$ folder, NOT the $1 folder...

So are mine, I made a mistake while typing the directory structure.

Thanks for the help
