Win2k, XP, 2003 Disks!!!

LOTS of people seem to have an issue with this so I wrote a quick tut on doing it.

  • 1 = Download http://www.wpiw.net/...loads/$OEM$.rar
  • 2 = Extract to copied XP source (The Windows CD contents)
  • 3 = Add WPI folder to the same source (see attached pic)
  • 4 = Make new BOOTABLE ISO
  • 5 = DONE

Windows Vista\7 Disks

Download http://www.wpiw.net/...ads/sources.rar

Extract to copied Windows source, yes you will need to overwrite\ad to the existing sources folder

Add WPI folder to the root.

Make sure the option in the WPI options menu is selected "Load desktop before intsallation begins"

Remake Windows ISO using your favorite method.

WPI and WinToFlash

First of all, I want to say. WPI makes life so much easier. I just discovered it this past week, and I love it.

I have a Windows XP Pro SP2 CD that I have been using nLite to integrate SP3 and various other updates such as IE * and WMP 11. I use this for various reasons, one of which has been to re-install Windows on my friend's netbook. In order to do this, I had to make a bootable USB drive since there is no optical drive.

The fastest/easiest/most reliable method I have found is to use WinToFlash. The problem is, WinToFlash creates unusual directories on the USB drive, thus losing the original CD directory structure. It also does not copy the WPI folder to the USB drive automatically. Unfortunately this makes the provided $OEM$ folder integration for RunOnceEx invalid.

Win2Flash Generated Folder Tree on USB Drive:

Number of downloads: 6

Luckily the fix is very easy.
  • Move the WPI folder from the root folder (parallel to the 386 folder) into the $OEM$ folder
  • EDIT the RunWPI.cmd file.
  • Goto Line 4
  • Change :
    set wpipath=%drive%\wpi
    

  • To:
    set wpipath=%drive%\$WIN_NT$.~LS\$OEM$\wpi
    


New Folder Tree for use with Win2Flash:

Number of downloads: 7

This does not copy additional files to the computer during install and still runs WPI from the USB drive as you are used to.
