djwheeler Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) Hope someone can help. I have created an unattended install, created an iso file, put it onto CD and successfully install Windows XP. Unfortunately it has not copied the contents of the $oem$ folder to the appropriate locations. A script is supposed to run at first logon but because nothing has been copied from the $oem$ folder nothing happens. In the direcftory structure on the CD the $oem$ folder is on the same level as the I386 etc. folders. My winnt.sif file which I have put under the I386 folder is as follows:;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=yes[unattended] UnattendMode=DefaultHide OemSkipEula=yes OemPreinstall=No UnattendSwitch="yes" TargetPath=\WINDOWS[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=27b4d5133f48764aaad3b435b51404ee051f6e0f6488392580e3bd42fe0d1735 EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1[userData] ProductKey= FullName="Eclipse" OrgName="Eclipse Marketing Ltd"[Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000809 UserLocale=00000809 InputLocale=0809:00000809[identification] JoinDomain=******** DomainAdmin=********* DomainAdminPassword=***********[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=No[NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1[params.Adapter1] INFID=*[NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient[NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER[NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP[params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=Yes UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=Yes AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=Yes WINS=No NetBIOSOptions=0[WindowsFirewall] Profiles = WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall[WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode = 0[Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off freecell=off hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off[GuiRunOnce]%SYSTEMDRIVE%\INSTALL\START.CMDHope that someone can help.

erik_demon Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 (edited) Hey Welcome to MSFN so i pressume the $OEM$ folder is ment to be copied to the c:\root ! is this correct !This is not entirely correct. If you want to copy some files to the root of the drive where windows is installed (for you is that the C drive), you have to create a folder inside the $OEM$ folder. This folder is called $1. Your structure should now look like this:$OEM$\$1\install\enzfor more info about this, please check-out this pageFor more info about the RunOnceEx, look hereand if you want to install directly from the CD, look here (this however is a bit more diffecult, I would recommend you to start with the link above first.Good luck!!
