Im working on a install CD for Windows XP just to learn a little about Xplode and stuff. Looking at threads here it seems people are placing their Xplode folder att different places and I'm just curious to why.

Doing an installation from network, then you don't have much of a choice, you'll have to copy the files to the harddrive, but when running from CD that shouldn't be a problem, right? How come I havent seen an example of putting the files directly in the rootdir of the XPCD (at the same level as I386 and $oem$)? Like this, C:\XPCD\Xplode\.


And how would the CMDLINES.TXT look like?

I figured out that
".\XPlodeXPlode.exe" is the same as "%XPCD%\$OEM$\XPlode.exe".
So If I want it in rootdir, would that be: ".\.\xplode\explode.exe"?
Or is there another way of getting to the root?

I do my installations off a network share after first boot. Manually.
I don't have a specific need to place them on the CD, nor copy to the HD.

As for XPlode in the root directory, I have no idea. It's been over 6 months since I've even looked at windows installations, and I never did mine through cmdlines.txt anyways.

Anyone else know?

Where did you do yours?

The UserExecute portion of winnt.sif.

I think it was UserExewute, been a long time since I did anything...
