RIS cmdlines.txt

[Beest]

I used the "Pyron" way to integrate drivers into my RIS installation. Like described here ...

http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/v...87a9ed3758ff0f/

But Now I got another problem ... The RIS installation does not parse my cmdlines.txt. It does not matter what I put in there its't not applied. Not even a simple copy action.

I started over and tried with a clean Ris source but same result.

I tried this ... http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=57218 But also same result.

Only thing I have in my cmdlines.txt is

[COMMANDS]

"RunOnceEx.cmd"

[oioldman]

ok, so do you have your $OEM$ folder created>

do you have cmdlines.txt located within the $OEM$ folder

do you have your runonceex.cmd located within the $OEM$ folder

do you have oempreinstall=yes in yout .sif file

if no, do

if yes, not sure - but try doing with out adding "extras" like driver packs or nlite'ing etc

[Beest]

Yes

Yes

Yes

and Yes

I have not used NLite or anything. Only tried the methods I linked in my post. So one is doing everything manually. The other is using the latest Driverpacks.

[oioldman]

ok, is $OEM$ inside your i386 or parallel because it makes a diff.

can't remeber but think it needs to be parallel

[edit]

if you have $$\system32 created and place a file in there, does that get copied during your install?

just trying out different things

My structure is like this

$OEM$

|-$1

|-$$

|--System32

I386

cmdlines.txt

RunOnceEx.cmd

File inside $1 and inside $$ get copied fine. Only I have some registry settings, applications and cleanup scripts in RunOnceEx but this wont run.

I have no CLUE why tho... I do that same at home on a DVD and works fine but now with this RIS install it does not.

No I have not copied the DVD installation I started over but just as illustration I know how it works.

[oioldman]

ok, stupid thing then.

Has cmdlines.txt got any other extension to it? by accident so it is actually cmdlines.txt.txt in which case it may not get read correctly

guess you know how to check for that

[Beest]

rofl no ..

I always turn the **** " hide known extentions " thing of. Like everyone I think ...

[Beest]

I am gonna continue this in RIS forums cause I think its something else ...

I tried AutoRis now ... with Ryan update and Roguespear addons... Script runs error less and still it does not parse the cmdlines.txt .......
