I want to make a Windows 2000 cd that has extra software on it.
Just to make sure is this going to work:

X:\I386\winnt.sif:


Wihu locations:
X:\$OEM$\$1\install\wihu.exe
X:\$OEM$\$1\install\install.ini

X:\$OEM$\$1\install\install.ini:


should this work with only those few lines in winnt.sif?
if not what does a minimal winnt.sif need?

You should include a command line options like:
WIHU.exe /skipsettings /INI="install.ini"
or
[GUIRunOnce]
%Systemdrive%\install\wihu.exe /INI="install.ini"

Another Point,
Are the applications in the same folder of WIHU?
set the right variable at the ini file

if i do not set the ini path it will take install.ini lacated in the same folder (i tried)



the files are in a subfilder called Software like:
"X:\$OEM$\$1\install\Software"

i will set the paths in the ini file like this:
command=%WIHU%\Software\Winamp.msi

will this work or is there a better way?

using %WIHU% sounds good
if some installations will not work try using "workdir.x" as well.
