I'm almost done with my Multi-Boot Project but there is a question remaining:

Where do I put my Winnt.sif and $OEM$ folder for my Unattended Installations.

For example, I use EasyBoot and I have followed their Instruction Guide and I end up with this structure:

ROOT
|_WIN51 (file)
|_WIN51IP (file)
|_WIN51IP.SP2 (file)
|_EZBOOT (folder)
|_XPEN (folder)
|___Some files (ATAPI.SY_ Etc.)
|___I386
|_____Windows files...


Don't tell me to put the $OEM$ folder at the root because I want to put many Windows Installations...

please take contact with the author of easyboot
Otherwise(if you use the regular method) we have enough discussions, also recently.

Hummm... I've decided to do a test with winnt.sif and $OEM$ folder inside my XPEN directory (parallel to the I386 folder).

During the TextSetup portion it looks fine as winnt.sif kicks in and the $OEM$ folder is copied over... but at the beginning of the GUI I get:



After I click OK, I can specify where to find the files (D:\XPEN\I386)



It goes on and on for the following files:

1- asms (it is a folder under I386)
2- NT5INF.CAT
3- NT5.CAT
4- SP2.CAT
5- NTPRINT.CAT
6- NT5IIS.CAT
7- MAPIMIG.CAT
8- FP4.CAT
9- IMS.CAT
10-MSMSGS.CAT
11-HPCRDP.CAT
12-MW770.CAT
13-wmerrenu.cat
14-IASNT4.CAT
15-MSTSWEB.CAT
16-OEMBIOS.CAT
17-tabletpc.cat
18-mediactr.cat
19-msn7.cat
20-msn9.cat
21-netfx.cat

Then I finally get this:



Afterward, Setup goes on ... but I seem to be stuck at the T-37 stage (37-minutes)



Any hint or idea?

Did you change the setupsource in txtsetup.sif?

YES! YES! YEAHHHH! I GOT IT TO WORK!

Basically I started over and followed the guide:
1- http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/gettingstarted.htm
2- http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/xpprosp1.htm

the only difference is in the last step where I used the boot sector provided with EasyBoot (w2ksect.bin) and left the file in the ezboot folder (not at root like the guide)

I wanted to check what I had done so far so I started a "regular" Installation under simulation and it worked.

Lastly I followed the guide to do the Unattended part:
3- http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/unattended.htm

As I am typing theses lines, my simulation is running trought RunOnceEx.cmd and everything worked without a hitch!

Cheers!

goes to show what happens when you follow a non-msfn guide
