$OEM$ Files dont copy

[Maleko]

Ok, i put on my UA CD:

$OEM$ then $$ then Fonts

I wnated it to copy my own fonts across...but it didnt...do i need to add a script or sommit somewhere??

[Djé]

You should have something like

OEMpreinstall=yes

inyour winnt.sif

Check exact syntax in ref.chm

[Maleko]

already set to yes....im using nLITE

[Maleko]

eh? just looked again, see if it got copied anywhere else..and this time they were there..weird....mayeb i didn twait long enough to load all those font! doh!

[laurens]

Can you post your Winnt.sif?

[amit_talkin]

already set to yes....im using nLITE

same problem here!! i have also set "oempreinstall= yes" but setup didnt copy $OEM$ folder!!

any solution?

actually what happens.....when i try to install windows by booting CD!! it works fine! but if we setup manually ( like non bootable cd) it wont copy this folder!!

i also have this problem, winnt.sif below...

it seems that everything takes, except, the "preinstall", "URL" and "skip welcome"

yeah...i think we must use this switch for manual installation

i mean " winnt32.exe /unattended:winnt.sif"

i have also try this! but this also didnt work!

[Djé]

Guys, did you search the forum or what???

For having the $oem$ folder copied over using winnt32.exe, you need both oempreinstall=yes

AND either the $oem$ folder INSIDE I386 OR OEMFilesPath=..\$OEM$ in winnt.sif

yea ...my $oem$\$1\... was actually $oem$\%1

but skip welcome is set to "=1", but i still get the scrn

Don't you usually need the full path...

What about 'OEMSkipWelcome' (case sensitivity ) ?

nop...it wont need full path if winnt.sif file is available in same directory where winnt32.exe placed!! if winnt.sif file is placed anywhere except I386 folder...then u will need the full path!!

i have tried this and it worked too...but yet it didnt copy those sub-folders from $OEM$ folder!

[spacesurfer]

what kind of winxp version is it? if it is the corporate version, i think think it will work, since OEM and VLK version are different.

i'm having same problem.
