$OEM$ not copying?

[aeoth]

I'm rebuilding my WinXP autoinstaller, this time using RyanVM's updates.

However, the $OEM$ directory isn't copying at all, which I found mighty odd.

The WinNT.sif file I have was copied from another working WinNT.sif, and very slightly modified.

It looks like:

[Data]
	AutoPartition=0
	MsDosInitiated = 0
	UnattendedInstall = Yes

[Unattended]
	OemPreinstall = Yes
	UnattendSwitch = Yes
	UnattendMode = FullUnattended
	OemSkipEula = Yes
	FileSystem = *
	WaitForReboot = No
	TargetPath = "\Windows"
	Hibernation = No
	DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

[GuiUnattended]
	AutoLogon = Yes
	AdminPassword = *
	TimeZone = 255
	OEMSkipRegional = 1
	OemSkipWelcome = 1

[Display]
	BitsPerPel=32
	Xresolution=1024
	YResolution=768
	Vrefresh=70

[RegionalSettings]
	Language = 0C09

[COMMANDS]
	"RunOnceEx.cmd"

[WindowsFirewall]
	Profiles = WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall

[WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall]
	Mode = 0

[COMPONENTS]
	msmsgs=off

Probably a lot of redundant/not needed stuff, but, eh...any ideas?

First, there is no such section as [COMMANDS] in WINNT.SIF. That section name is only valid for cmdlines.txt; you need to use [GuiRunOnce] in WINNT.SIF.

Second, why are you specifying AutoPartition=0? According to the docs, if you don't want AutoPartition=1 then you need to leave the AutoPartition parameter out completely. Don't confuse AutoPartition under [Data] with Repartition under [unattended]. Many people mistakenly assume that AutoPartition has something to do with creating partitions. It only controls how Setup chooses a partition for installation.

Lastly, have you determined that your WINNT.SIF is getting picked up at all? For example, does the resolution get set to 1024x768 automatically? If not, you may have accidentally saved your WINNT.SIF file in Unicode, or maybe you've got file extensions hidden and accidentally saved it as WINNT.SIF.TXT without noticing.

Hrm.

I'd say its being picked up, such things like the language is auto set, it autoinstalls itself for the most part.

As for commands, yes. Gah at myself, I shouldn't have skimmed over that guide I read

Turns out I'm just an id***.

$OEM$/Install was where I'd put things, not $OEM$/$1/Install
