fillalph Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I am trying to add my favourites to an unattended install. The problem I am facing is that I want to include then organized, in my folders and subfolders. I wasn't sure how to set this up in winnt.sif, but I know I could always just copy the favorite folder to to my installs folder and copy it to my account using a batch file, but is there another way?]Bonkers[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 You should be able to use XCOPY so you copy the subfolders as well, keeping your favourites directory structure how you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fillalph Posted August 8, 2003 Author Share Posted August 8, 2003 Could someone verify the $Doc folder. (I checked another site on the similar topic and they didn't mention that folder either.)]Bonkers[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortex Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 what i did to copy my favourites is i created a SFX archive of the favourites folder, and under SFX Options -> General: i set the path to extract to %USERPROFILE%\ and under the Modes tab i set the Silent Mode to Hide All and overwrite mode to overwrite all. then used the batch file to install the exe file.ECHO Installing Vortex's FavoritesECHO Please wait...start /wait $OEM$\Favorites\Favorites.exe /sECHO Done..and this is the SFX command generated by winrar:;The comment below contains SFX script commandsPath=%USERPROFILE%\SavePathSilent=1Overwrite=1hope this helps.p/s: im using winrar 3.20.

JamesWCavanagh Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I have used $Docs before and it works, are you using $Doc or $Docs, it needs to be plural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
