Once the custom Windows is installed, in the root dir there are the folders (applications, drivers, install) that I created previously. Is it safe to remove them.?

THanks

Yes, you can also use remove commands at the end of your last batch file to automate this. But for some reason Drivers refuses to be removed, until next reboot that is. Nothing big anyway.

going slowly here though small moves make it easier.

Thanks AaronXP.

hmmm...

All the screensavers did not get removed for some reason.

1. I copied and pasted the code in the main_batch cmd but they are still there.

2. and my uxtheme.dll was not pacthed either.

3. I have a SVCPACK.DL_, svcpack.inf and svcpack.IN_ in the i386 dir.

IN the guide it is not mentioned anywhere the DL_ one. Do I have to remove it?

place the comamnd twice for the drivers to be deleted

svcpack.inf can be deleted if SVCPACK.IN_ is the compressed version of your svcpac.inf.

SVCPACK.DL_ should be left alone.

right on!

now only two more problems to go!

instead of using a delete command, use the RD (remove directory) command

RD /Q /S c:\applications

RD /Q /S c:\drivers

RD /Q /S c:\install

I guarantee that this will work

I guarantee that this will work

the only guarantee i give is that "i guarantee if it works for you it wont work for at least one other person." LOL

When your cd is done installing, i recommend adding a registry key to the RunOnce registry key. Have runonce run a batch file after you restart that deletes all your old folders.

-gosh

gosh you have a PM!

if you'd check drivers folder properties you would notice it gets the hidden and system file attributes(probably by setup program) so what i did was to add the following command before using the rd command

ATTRIB -S -H -R "%systemroot%\drivers" /S /D

RD "%systemroot%\drivers\" /S /Q

no double delete no batch files in runonce no other "auxiliaries"

RD will delete hidden files as well.
