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?

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.

help!

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

Can someone send me bios update for dell inspiron 6400 date 2007.2.6 (mm061a13)

thank's in advance

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.

Oh! I misunstanded your mean, Sorry.

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.
