Aaron Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 What's this thread for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R600 Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 It's meant to be for me I'm very special. hehe Nah, T3 just helping me out with an automated setup coz I'm a NOOB Anyway, what was I gona ask?!?!Oh yeah, Terminator, you said that:%systemroot% = C:/Windows/%systemdrive%=C:/Correct?Well, if something is meant to be installed from a CD, for example, a hotfix. Why would it state in the batch file the following:ECHO Installing Windows Update HotfixesECHO.ECHO Installing Q329115...start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Hotfixes\Q329115_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe /Q /M /ZECHO.I guess I've misunderstood this line somehow, but as I said, isn't this meant to run off a CD?

DaveXP Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 because in setup windows copys your appz to the hard drive and installs from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R600 Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Okay! Now I'm lost. How would Windows copy files across if they are not part of Windows XP itself?Is there a command line in the winnt.sif or batch.cmd that gives this instruction or something?

DaveXP Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 yep were is a command in the winnt.sifOEMPreinstall=Yes this tells setup to copy the contain of the $OEM$\$1\ folderGuiRunOnce=this find the batch file copy to the had drvie during setup and the batch file find your appz when the batch runs :excited: :excited: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R600 Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 NO WONDER!!!!! I was baffled all that time. (it's make-up) jks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R600 Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Ok, need to skip a step for a moment.If Oempreinstall=Yes copies the contents of the $1 folder to C:/ - what happens if you only have a 5GB partition? make it 3.5GB for that matter!!Do you think there's enough space for installing the most common apps? (not to mention all those temporary files created during setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveXP Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 ok that a problem erm...i guess it would work but you must add a line to the batch file telling it to delete the install folder when its finshed to get your room back.ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 3.5 GB? Should be enough! Most of the extras on the CD only come up to about 220-250MB, that would probably result in 500-700 MB of installed applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
