$OEM$\$Progs does not get copied

[hossm]

I have the following structure:

$OEM$

$OEM$\$1

$OEM$\$1\install

$OEM$\$1\drivers

$OEM$\$$

$OEM$\$$\system32

$OEM$\$Progs

Everything get copied fine to the system except for the $Progs directory. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!

Hi,

In my case it is even worse, nothing from the $OEM$ dir gets copied to %systemdrive%

Hope someone has an idea.

You need to have the following line in your winnt.sif file:

[Unattended] 
OemPreinstall=Yes

@hossm

Do you use windows 2000?

In windows 2000 either $docs or $Progs didn't work (I can't remember which on )

[hossm]

Yes, I am using Win 2000. I'm actually using RIS (on Win 2000 Server) and the image is Win 2000 as well. I used FileMon on the server and saw that the setup actually does look at the folder in the $Progs directory, and reads each file but then deletes them and doesn't copy them over. Everything else, it reads and copies over!

Windows 2000 doesn't support either $Prog and $Docs are they tied to OOBE for copying over.

[hossm]

Thanks for the info Alanoll!

Now when you say Win 2000 doesn't support either one, do you mean if I had RIS running on Win 2003, then it would be supported? Or is it the image (Win 2000) that doesn't support it?

[Alanoll]

RIS basically runs the Setup of the OS wanting to be installed correct? It's the setup of the OS that determines what is copied. Windows 2000 doesn't support this.

[hossm]

That makes sense.

Thanks again for all your help
