There any way to run WPI without using $OEM$ folders?? How can we do? Thank!!

I use the $ OEM $ folder that is on the official site

avechuche, your English is fine. I do not understand why you cannot use F6 and therefore you cannot use $OEM$. Are you using nLite to create your ISO? You can use the $OEM$ folder unless you disable OEM Preinstall. If you really have an nLite question, please open a thread in the nLite forum and attach (not paste) your Last Session. Enjoy, John.

I can use $OEM$ folder and desactivate "OEM preinstall" in winnt.sif?

OemPreinstall=Yes

This option is default to No but if you are using the $OEM$ Distribution Folders then it needs to be set to Yes, so that Setup regards this installation as a distribution and copies these files over to the system drive. This occurs at the end of Text-mode Setup.

Having OemPreinstall set to Yes will also prevent you from loading RAID/SATA drivers from a floppy disc during textmode setup. The only workaround for that problem is to directly integrate the drivers into the CD, as described here.

I need F6 to load some SATA drivers :)

avechuche, I agree with what you are saying. I use nLite to load my text mode drivers and leave OEM Preinstall to Enabled (default in nLite). To get a direct answer to your question, you will need to wait for mritter or Kels to respond. Sorry I could not help. Enjoy, John.

"Avechuche = the $oem$ folder and cmdlines.txt IS USED during the t-13 phase of setup!
You ONLY need the oempreinstall=yes if you want folders to be copied over. Cmdlines.txt is used no matter what"
by Kels in other forum :)

Thanks johnhc for you time :)
