code directions

Im trying to get an understanding of how code like this...

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Windows Media Player 9

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\WMP9\MPSetupXP.exe /Q:A /R:N

can find the $OEM$/$1$/install directory, since its not pointing to it?

thanks

$OEM$/1$/... I think, not $1$. Maybe its $1, but I know $1$ is wrong.

thanks. but my main questioning is how does

<code>

ECHO.

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\WMP9\MPSetupXP.exe /Q:A /R:N

</code>

link to $oem$/$1??

in other words how does the winnt file know where the batch files are. and how does the batch files find the exe files. because it doesnt seem to be showing the entire file

maybe im just a nut

the $1 folder tells Windows Setup to copy all files and folders to the root of the systemdrive (C:\ for most people). \$1\install\ will become C:\Install\

But you do need to add OemPreinstall=Yes under [unattended] in winnt.sif for this to work.
