DaveXP Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 have you set OEMPreInstall=Yes in your winnt.sif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brntspawn Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 Yes, its in the [unattended] section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0r3d Posted October 22, 2003 Share 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 Share 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:\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0r3d Posted October 22, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyakite Posted October 22, 2003 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

brntspawn Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share 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 $OEM$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brntspawn Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brntspawn Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share 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.
