I'm almost done with my Multi-Boot Project but there is a question remaining:
Where do I put my Winnt.sif and $OEM$ folder for my Unattended Installations.
I have followed the Instruction Guide and I end up with this structure:
ROOT
|-WIN51 (file)
|-WIN51IP (file)
|-WIN51IP.SP2 (file)
|-EZBOOT (folder)
|-XPEN (folder)
|----Some files (ATAPI.SY_ Etc.)
|----I386
|--------Windows files...
Don't tell me to put the $OEM$ folder at the root because I want to put many Unattended Windows Installations...

You cant move the $OEM$ folder from the root of the dvd or cd read these links.
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=14026&hl=
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=19810&st=0
The only suggestion i have is that you alter the individual winnt.sif files for each version you are trying to install and alter to suit
| Code Sample | [Data]
    MsDosInitiated=0
  UnattendedInstall=Yes
[Unattended]
  UnattendMode=FullUnattended
  OemSkipEula=Yes
  OemPreinstall=Yes  ***YES or NO*** Alter to suite
  Repartition=No
  UnattendSwitch=Yes
  WaitForReboot=No
  TargetPath=\Windows
  KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom"
  OEMSkipWelcome=1
  OemFilesPath="..\$OEM$"
  OemPnPdriversPath=
  driversigningPolicy=Ignore
  DUDisable=Yes
  Hibernation=No
  FileSystem=* |
P.S just noticed you were allready on MSFN forums if they cant help don't think anyone can

Sorry bout last post Think iv'e found it on MSFN Posted by snowboard69
| Code Sample | Ok my DVD layout is as follows.
ROOT\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\SI3112
ROOT\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\VT8237
ROOT\SETUP\XP\Professional\$OEM$
ROOT\SETUP\XP\Professional\I386
ROOT\SETUP\XP\Home\I386
ROOT\PRO1
ROOT\HOME1
As the PRO1 and HOME1 are boot information folders for the different OS's I made sure the following files were included.
The Pro1 and HOME1 both contain a WINNT.SIF and TXTSETUP.SIF file.
Both WINNT.SIF files have this under [Unattended],
OemPreinstall=Yes
OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\SI3112;Drivers\VT8237"
Both TXTSETUP.SIF Files have entries for the different drivers as explained in other threads.
I also made a cab file from the SI3112 and VT8237 folders called SI3112R.SY_ and VIASRAID.SY_
Professional boots using the drivers and installs all the other software contained in its $OEM$ folder. Whereas the HOME version boots using the drivers and only installs the OS.
Hope this helps you and others. |

Thanks Urie
I really don't mind adding OemFilesPath="..\$OEM$" to my winnt.sif file for every installation.
On a regular Unattended Windows, $OEM$ is parallel to I386 but with EasyBoot, there is a in-between folder called XPEN wich contains files copied over from the I386 folder...
maybe I can put it where I want with the OemFilesPath="..\" parameter.
And should I leave my winnt.sif inside the I386 folder or move it to the XPEN folder...
The question remains, where should I put those 2?
