Everything that is placed into the special "system" subfolders(e.g. '$1' and '$$' etc.) of the '$OEM$' folder is copied over to your harddrive during setup. If you don't want this to happen, then simply don't place your apps in these folders and place them somewehere else on the disc instead. Also you will need to add a little code to your batchfiles start, which will assign the %cdrom% environment variable to your drives correct logical letter.

Here is the section of MSFN's Unattended guide which reffers to this issue :

thanks for your help but can you cleare it easly

first let me give you what i have done

in the unattended file in my wincd i but

[GuiRunOnce]

Command0=%CDROM%\install.cmd

during the log in to the windwos it cannot go to

install.cmd which is in the CD root ..

now what i will add in the end of the unattended file to run the patch file ( Install.cmd ) during the firest log in to the windows after finishing the installation

this is just what i need

thanks
