mr4 Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 The problem is that everything is in $OEM$\$$\ or $OEM$\$1\ folder, i can't find it in %systemdrive%, programs, batch files...etc. The OS is not put them in Windows folder. Any ideea?
Ctrl-X Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 What is the exact location of your $OEM$ folder? For an unattended installation, it needs to be a subfolder of the i386 folder; except when using RIS: then it needs to be on the same level as the i386 folder.
Ctrl-X Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I used this diagram.So you have your $OEM$ folder next to your i386 folder, not inside it? That's the RIS folder structure. For other unattended setup types, the $OEM$ folder should be inside the i386 folder. Check How to Add OEM Plug and Play Drivers to Windows XP for details.
mr4 Posted September 1, 2006 Author Posted September 1, 2006 Let me detail my problem. I want to change the theme for unattened setup. I put mr4.theme in $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes folder and the wallpaper i use in $OEM$\$$\Resources folder, but i can't find it in Windows\Resources\Theme after the OS is install.
Littlebr00k Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Does everything else on your unattended installation work?Do you install any additional programs during the unattended setup?You can have the $OEM$ folder at the root of your CD as you have in the diagram, but for the files to be copied over during the installation you need to add these lines to your winnt.sif file as follows:[Data] UnattendedInstall="Yes"[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=YesHope this helps.
mr4 Posted September 1, 2006 Author Posted September 1, 2006 Thanks a lot guys, in Winnt.sif OEMPreintall was No. I have another question: how can i open an text file with batch file? The text file is saved on disk, not empty.
Littlebr00k Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 It depends on how you want the txt file to interact with your insallation.If you want the the installation routine to be halted while you read or copy the the info from the txt file then add this to the batch filestart /wait %systemdrive%\FolderName\nameof.txtThe installation will resume after you close the text documentIf you want the installation to contine while your txt document is open then add this to the batch filestart %systemdrive%\FolderName\nameof.txtThe installation will continue while the txt file is openIf you have spaces in your folder names or document name then remember to enclose it quotes.start /wait "%systemdrive%\Folder Name\nameof.txt"Hope this helps
mr4 Posted September 1, 2006 Author Posted September 1, 2006 Detailed: after the OS is install, i want a readme file to open after the first Welcome screen. At second reboot the readme file don't have to open. Something like that.
Ctrl-X Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 OEMPreinstall! Forgot to ask about that one Detailed: after the OS is install, i want a readme file to open after the first Welcome screen. At second reboot the readme file don't have to open. Something like that.Put the command to display the readme in the [GuiRunOnce] section and it will run, ehm, just once
mr4 Posted September 2, 2006 Author Posted September 2, 2006 Thank you Ctrl-X. I discover another problem. The source of unattended setup was updated with latest microsoft updates, i integrated them. The problem is that the ntoskrnl file is exe and not ex_. I made another ntoskrnl.exe (modified by me) and i copied into source kit. My modified bootscreen dont't want to display. What is missing?
