clivebuckwheat Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 My dos windows xp install from the network works great. But None of the apps installI checked to see if the $oem$ folder is copied over. it is but shows up as $ not $oem$.Has anyone here successfully installed apps from a dos installation of windows xp if so how.?

Doc Symbiosis Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 The files in $OEM$\$1 are copied to systemdrive during installation. So on my CD, I've got a folder $OEM$\$1\Install containiing the apps.So during installation, you can call %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\myapp.exe.which foders does your $OEM$-folder contain?

clivebuckwheat Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 the apps are in $OEM$\$1\installand the $oem$ is outside of the I386 FOLDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theUtmost Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 @ clivebuckwheatI may be slightly off track here, but i think i remember reading somewhere that the $OEM$ folder needs to be in different places depending on where you're installing from.For network-based installs, you should put your $OEM$ folder and all subdirectories INSIDE the i386 folder.Putting $OEM$ folder outside the i386 folder is correct for CD-BASED installs.Hope that helpsCheers,tU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clivebuckwheat Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) I have tried putting the $OEM$ folder inside the I386 folder, AND outside the I386 folder and $OEM$ doesn't copy over.either wayI am uber stumped.

theUtmost Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Ok, please post the contents of your unattend.txt fileRemember to comment out any personal info and use the code flags so it looks pretty.Actually if it's a long unattend file, maybe use codebox .Sorry if that's patronising, but i'm new to all this and it wasn't obvious to ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noise Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Repeat after me...Short File Names!That's right - this is DOS, DOS don't like long filenames. You better be sure every **** file in your $OEM$ structure is in 8.3 format.Also, in case you care, entries in your srvpack folder and inf need to be modified for short filenames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clivebuckwheat Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 isn't there a program that i can enable long file names in dos on my boot disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Symbiosis Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Have a try with the following link.http://lfntools.sourceforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clivebuckwheat Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) I tried LFNDOS before running the winnt command line. The $OEM$ folder will not copy over. Edited April 10, 2006 by clivebuckwheat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theUtmost Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 @clivebuckwheatPlease advise the exact directory structure under your $OEM$ folder.Also, I know this sounds crazy, but try installing with MsDosInitiated = 0In your unattend file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
