I am trying to specify the install location of the 'Windows' folder. In my winnt.sif I have

TargetPath=\Windows

When windows installs, I get 'WINDOWS' as a folder.

Does it always make all letters upper case? I haven't tried another name with some lower case to see if it changes all letters.

Any folder created during Windows setup will come out all upper-case letters (it's a holdover from the NT4 days, IIRC). The previous poster is correct, however, in that you can rename the folder in a batch and things will work fine.

I doubt you can rename the %WinDir% after installation though?

To get smallcaps wouldn't you have to rename it to something ELSE than "WINDOWS" for then again rename it to "Windows"? I doubt the system would allow you to rename "WINDOWS"...

So....how do you get a batch file to rename windows upon restart. I remember seeing something about that somewhere but I can't find it. Obviously you can't rename the windows folder just by using the ren command.

I know this is an old topic, but it still unresolved...

How do you rename the windows folder during setup?

I tried running a batch from "DetachedProgram" but that hasnt worked.

I read the topic, and don't see the point in this 98% case insensitive. But boot to a WinPE/BarPE disk and change the folder name. As a previous post said you will need to rename to something else before renaming to the proper case.
