I haven't got a clue. But surely you'll easily find yourself in some tuts or help files.

Also the 2 inf files i have are

WINTOP.inf

MAPC_OFF.inf

i'm sure you know what they do.

I haven't got a clue either.

You must create the folders not copy them AFAIK :

Here for batch file :

CD C:\windows\
mkdir folder
CD \
copy file C:\windows\folder\file

The above creates a folder named folder in C:\windows and then copies a file named file from the batch file folder into the newly created one.

For inf, just look in the docs, it should be easy.

What is the proper copy syntax for these in a bat file

IEXPLORE.exe C:\programs files\internet explorer

MSPAINT.exe C:\Programs Files\Accessories

You must be in 8.3 format as it's Dos. C:\PROGRA~1, instead of C:\programs files should work.

MSPAINT.exe C:\Programs Files\Accessories did copy

but IEXPLORE.exe C:\programs files\internet explorer didn't copy becuz

Internet explorer has a space in it

Hey, program files as well has a space in it and I told you a way to do it right just two posts above.

I suggest to copy such files [iexplore.exe for example] using INF code, which will properly detect actual location of installed OS components such as MS IE.

Example:

[Version]Signature=$CHICAGO$

[DefaultInstall]

CopyFiles=IE

[iE]

IEXPLORE.EXE

[DestinationDirs]

IE=29000

[sourceDisksNames]

1=,,0

All other methods mentioned here do not properly detect actual location of "C:\Program Files" [default location, but it may also be "D:\Programs" , "C:\PROGRAMS" , "C:\PF" or whatever else].

And short file name C:\Progra~1 accounts for only the 1st successful OS install.

If same or different MS WinOS was also installed [more than 1 time], C:\Progra~1 becomes C:\Progra~2 , C:\Progra~3 , etc, depending on how many times the WinOS was installed.
