brntspawn Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 This is what I have in my winnt.sif file:[GuiRunOnce]%systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd%systemdrive%\install\applications.cmdwhen it is installing it tells me it cannot find the batch files, but it is looking on c:\.How do I get it to look for the cd drive?
DaveXP Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 have you set OEMPreInstall=Yes in your winnt.sif
brntspawn Posted October 22, 2003 Author Posted October 22, 2003 Yes, its in the [unattended] section
b0r3d Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 If you've placed all your files in the $OEM$\$1 directory, then they get copied to the root of the windows drive automatically.For example: $OEM$\$1\Cats\cats.batwill be come: C:\Cats\cats.batJust check to make sure you've got your files in that $OEM$\$1 directory.
brntspawn Posted October 22, 2003 Author Posted October 22, 2003 Yes I have my files in $OEM$\$1\install. I have an install and a drivers dir and neither get copied to c:\
b0r3d Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 they dont get copied to C:\ you say?Everything else works though?Is your winnt.sif file in your I386 directory?To make thing easier, can you please post the contents of your winnt.sif file. I have a feeling there's a problem in there
flyakite Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Also, is I386 in the root of your cd? If so, is $OEM$ parallel to I386. In other words, both folders can be seen at the same time?
eXPerience-XP Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 this should be ur CD folder structureD:\i386D:\$OEM$\notD:\i386\$OEM$
brntspawn Posted October 22, 2003 Author Posted October 22, 2003 Yes I have D:\i386 and D:\$OEM$.Here is my winnt.sif:;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="no"[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=removed EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1[userData] ProductKey=removed FullName="removed" OrgName="" ComputerName=hal[TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 Dialing=Pulse AreaCode=513[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409[identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[GuiRunOnce]%systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd%systemdrive%\install\applications.cmd
Ihithisham Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Yes I have D:\i386 and D:\$OEM$.Here is my winnt.sif:;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="no"[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=removed EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1[userData] ProductKey=removed FullName="removed" OrgName="" ComputerName=hal[TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 Dialing=Pulse AreaCode=513[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409[identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[GuiRunOnce]%systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd%systemdrive%\install\applications.cmdI have the same probem. The cause of it is when the CD image is created and when the files are being copies (i.e Roxio CD Creator 6), the folder $OEM$ gets renamed to _OEM_. The message is that it is to keep with the file naming format specified when creating the bootable CD. I have the same problem, so if someone could enlighten me it would be very helpful. TYIA
brntspawn Posted October 22, 2003 Author Posted October 22, 2003 Well I have been using Nero to burn, and I just put my cd in to check and on the cd it is named $OEM$.
brntspawn Posted October 22, 2003 Author Posted October 22, 2003 Solved my problem. In winnt.sif I am looking for main_batch.cmd, but I named the file main_batch.bat
greekos_kentos Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Yes I have D:\i386 and D:\$OEM$.[unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="no"You also have the line OemPreinstall=Yes twice once says NO and the other says YES
brntspawn Posted October 22, 2003 Author Posted October 22, 2003 Yeah I noticed that and fixed it too. Now the only update I still need to get working is the MDAC. I copied the command and pasted right into my main_batch.cmd: ECHO Installing Q823718 Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Componentsstart /wait %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\Q823718.exe /T:%systemdrive%\install\tmp /C:"%systemdrive%\install\tmp\dahotfix.exe /q /n" /QWindows Update still shows it as not installed. I am using VPC if it makes a difference
brntspawn Posted October 22, 2003 Author Posted October 22, 2003 Nevermind, I got that fixed too. I forgot to reboot the system in the batch file. I did a manual reboot and windows update now only lists 1 missing critical (which should be fixed after reading another thread) instead of 2.
