Extremely Frustrated.....! First off I'm an older retired guy but fairly new at some of this stuff. Most of the unattended goes correctly. The problem: For some reason nothing from the $OEM$, $ folder (Drivers,Install) gets copied to the hard drive. So of course nothing from the RunOnceEx.cmd gets installed after the reboot because the Directories/files are not there. The folders are exactly like the MSFN Unattended Guide. And, yes the RunOnceEx does install properly when tested with the folders in the right place. I have searched and found a few similar problems stated in the forum - but the ones that were answered would not solve my problem. I seem to have the folders in the proper place and order. All of the other folder and Files like the $$ folder, $Docs and the $Progs do get copied into the proper place. My timezone, Theme and several other things from the winnt.sif are all correct. I have looked at this until I can hardly stand it - and do not see the problem....! If I understand this correctly those folders in the $ folder should automatically get copied - at least if my winnt.sif is correct and if the folders are placed, labeled and/or spelled and refered to correctly. If the problem isn't in the winnt.sif - which I can't seem to see a problem with - then what else am I overlooking. Any help would be appreciated - I've searched for a week now - and don't know where to go from here....!
