How to move folders to windows\temp wihthout using $oem$

Featured Replies

I have severial folders should be moved to windows\temp during the installation process, but i don't want to use $oem$ to move them.

I want to integrate them into the I386 folder and copy them through modifiying TXTSETUP.SIF.

Is there anyone have ideas for this? :rolleyes:

to set %systemdrive%\Temp as default temp folder :

u can change the path accordingly to whereever u want.

place createTemp.cmd file inside SVCPACK dir and add the following in svcpack.inf :

[setupHotfixesToRun]

createTemp.cmd

createTemp.cmd

-------------------

@echo off
TITLE Create temp directory
cd /d %SystemDrive%
md %SystemDrive%\Temp
FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\XP_SP2.CD SET CDROM=%%i:
%systemroot%\regedit.exe /s %CDROM%\$OEM$\Appz\createTemp.reg
exit

createTemp.reg

Thx! But your method is too complex and I want to use TXTSETUP.SIF.

put your file(s) into i386 and add line(s) under [sourceDisksFiles] like this

[sourceDisksFiles]

myfile.ext = 1,,,,,,,45,0,0

The number 45 means %systemroot%\Temp (see section [WinntDirectories])

If you dont want your files have to be in i386 but another folder just define a source ID in [sourceDisksNames.x86] section

Thx. But your way only move single file to the destination folder. I have already known it.

But I need move a folder to the destination folder. For example: move a folder to windows\temp\ during installation process.

I have been doing this for a couple of years now, using HFSLIP. I'm not sure whether folders are moved with the script as it is at present, because I rewrote a section of it to give myself this functionality. The guys on that forum will be able to advise you better.

How do it ? Can you tell me your method in detail? Thank you a lot!

No!

Go to the HFSLIP forum and ask them there. The project has come a long way and at present I am not sure if the changes I made to the code for my own purposes will still work. The method I used however is similar to that which has already been mentioned, using TXTSETUP etc. to define destination directories and move the specified files to that location.

AFAIK txtsetup.sif does not support wildcard or just folder name. But you can pack all your files and subfolders (recursive) in 1 self-extracting rar or 7z file and copy it via txtsetup.sif, right? MS does copying driver.cab in the same way.

Just to clarify, using dosnet.inf and txtsetup.sif I do create destination directories and place all pertinent files there as part of my modified HFSLIP script. If I wanted to put a folder full of files into C:\WINDOWS\Temp\MyDir, I could.
