waves Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I created an unattended cd. It works great, except for my $OEM$ folder (parallel to my i385 folder) which contains my $$ folder, which contains my system32 folder. Inside my system32 folder I have oeminfo.ini, oemlogo.bmp, and autoit3.exe. These 3 items are NOT being copied to my system32 folder on my pc. I read a few other posts, and tried to move the $OEM$ folder inside the i386 folder, but this didn't work. I also tried to change my winnt.sif file to say OemPreinstall=Yes, and this made my unattended setup stop and prompt for info which it is not supposed to do, so I turned it off. I tried this twice to make sure and both times it stopped the install with a prompt, which I do not want during an unattended install. So my question is how do I get the setup to copy over those 3 files in my system32 folder on the cd to the pc? Is it something stupid like the fact that I have to use System32 with a capital S? Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulIA Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Don't things like this just drive you crazy? It sounds like you may have a couple of problems here. First, your $OEM$ folder needs to stay outside of the i386 folder. I think we have some people on this board that are confused about this. If you need clarification on this, take a look at the OEM Reference at the Unattended site.Second, you probably are missing some entries in your WinNT.sif file. You do need to have OEMPreinstall=Yes in this file. If the system stops and is asking for additional information, it's because you didn't supply that information in the WinNT.sif file. Take a look at WinNT.sif Reference on the Unattended site for more information.Here is an example of what my WinNT.sif file looks like:[Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes[Data] AutomaticUpdates=Yes AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall=Yes[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=xxxxxxxx AutoLogon=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 OemSkipWelcome=1 TimeZone=20[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[Proxy] HTTP_Proxy_Server=localhost:8080 Proxy_Enable=1 Proxy_Override=localhost Use_Same_Proxy=1[Unattended] DisableDynamicUpdates=No DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPreinstall=Yes OemSkipEula=Yes Repartition=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS UnattendMode=FullUnattended UnattendSwitch=Yes WaitForReboot=No[UserData] ProductID=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx FullName="John Doe" OrgName="ACME Corporation" ComputerName=ACME1Hope this helps.

waves Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 ok, after looking at your winnt and the guide I realized that I need to have OemSkipWelcome=1, not 0. When you have oempreinstall set to yes, that's the way it has to be otherwise the install will hault. I will give it a try now. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
