sheidemann Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I am trying to use the automated rename feature built into the unattended installs, but having no luck. This rely's on the $$rename.txt located in the $oem$\$1 folder.The contents on my $$rename.txt file is as follows, the first section is processed and the directory names change, but the rest is ignored. I have tried having a seperate $$reanme.txt for each subdirectory, but to no avail.Anyone know how this works?ThanksShayne[\TEST]T2STFO~1="T2stfolder3"TESFOL~1="Tesfolder2"[TEST\T2stfolder3]TEST4F~1="test4folder"[test\T2stfolder3\test4folder]NEWTEX~1.TXT="New Text Document.txt"[Tesfolder2]TESTTE~1.TXT="test Text Document.txt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 This is a question about Unattended Installs... so it should go in the Unattended section. Moved to correct forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezalel Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 What method are you using to install? You only need to use $$rename.txt if you start setup with winnt.exe from DOS. If you boot from the CD you can use long file names on the CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendes Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 If you start from a "DOS Network Boot Disk" this method is documented by Microsoft but nobody never make this WORK For my use, I made a batch file in "cmdlines.txt" that rename all needed 8.3 files...
