$OEM$ directory


Recommended Posts

From the guide waik law that seen supports these directory:

$OEM$

Contains all supplemental folders and files for an automated or customized installation

\$OEM$\$$

Contains files that Windows Setup copies to the %WINDIR% (for example, C:\windows) folder during installation

\$OEM$\$$\System32

Contains files that Windows Setup copies to the %WINDIR%\System32 folder during installation

\$OEM$\$1

Represents the root of the drive on which you installed Windows (also called the boot partition) and contains files

that Windows Setup copies to the boot partition during installation

\$OEM$\drive_letter\subfolder

A subfolder of the drive that contains files that Windows Setup copies to the subfolder during installation.

Multiple instances of this type of folder may exist under the \$OEM$\drive_letter folder, for example, \$OEM$\D\MyFolder.

In order to make this we must create one DATA IMAGE

To create a data imageLocate the data that you will create a data image for.

Use ImageX to compress your data files to a .wim file. For example:

imagex /capture C:\Data\DataFiles C:\Data\MyData.wim "MyData"

In this example, everything under the C:\Data\DataFiles directory is added to the .wim file.

All files and folders under C:\Data\DataFiles are extracted to the root of the drive specified in the answer file.

Don't work, how I can make?

That's not the truth completly. You are still able to use the $OEM$ folder structure "the old way". All you need is the following tag in your Autounattend.xml:

<UseConfigurationSet>true</UseConfigurationSet>

Place it into the Windows-Setup-Section. And copy the $OEM$ folder structure to the root of Vista-DVD or other removeable media (I use an USB-Stick).

But it's right that MS favorit method of doing this is the DATA-Image thing.

Hope that'll help!

Through Windows System Image Manager open up the distribution share, windows image and answer file. Goto tools Create Configuration Set. This creates the $oem$ structure, the autounattend.xml and a new file structure with the install.wim.

Make sure the auotunattend.xml has the follwoing info.

<UseConfigurationSet>true</UseConfigurationSet>

Do an install and make sure files come down as expected.
