hi all

I have read twinkie\'s manual and try to create my own bootable w2k CD with OEM drivers... but my localized version of w2k cannot obtain access to $oem$ folder during unattended setup - at all! No files copied, no drivers installed...
I tried find solution on microsoft KB and found this:
Cannot Obtain Access to $oem$ Folder During Unattended Setup (Q234536)
( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...ymous%7c2020893 )

Hmm... I really cannot do it?

P.S. Sorry for my english...

Now what strikes me as odd is that I have three CD\'s using OEM that came from large company\'s.  Gateway, Compac and Dell to be specific.  Now why would there be a Knowledge base articale saying you can\'t use OEM off the CD when I have done it and so have several large company\'s?  I will play around and see if I can figure this out.  Anyone else got any idea\'s please post or email me. Uh, Anonymous could you post the version number or 2000 type you have.  Maybe it\'s connected somehow.

Thanks,
Hope this Helps,

Twinkie

I use w2k ver. 5.00.2195 Russian edition (from MSDN disk).
When I installing from msdos using winnt.exe - OEM drivers installation works fine. And, if I trying create boot CD - it not work.
I think, bootdisk images in my version incorrect http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' /> I\'ll try to use bootdisks from original, english version http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

ps. Can you send me your bootdisk images via email? About 6 mb...

Hmm.
When I put $OEM$ under i386 folder - installation works from dos, but not works on boot-cd.
And, when I put $OEM$ directly under UENGLISHWPRO - not under i386 - it works fine!
Twinkie, pls check http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/realmen/msg00003.html - and, maybe you\'ll update your manual?

Now for some reason the $OEM$ folder works in DOS.  Granted.  Next, M$ says it does not work from a CDROM install.  ????  I found an entry in the knowledge base about moving $OEM$ to the root of the install location during network installs.  Sorry don\'t remember the Q number.

So, I will update the manual in the next few days discussing that $OEM$ on the CD\'s be placed in the root of the CD (ie UENGLISH%OS% instead.  Hey Anonymous, email me with the name you want put in the credit section.  

Thanks,
Hope this Helps,

Not too sure about this, if it were the case RIS setups would fail aswell to copy $OEM$. Just double check your WINNT.SIF. I checked Q234536, and it doesn\'t make sense.

A big thanks to all the contributors to this thread, there are some real pearls of wisdom. It is the last time I\'ll use geekcorps diskstate to remove redundancy out of my I386\'s to fit them onto one cd.

If you get prompted for the service pack disk you forgot to include the CDROMSP2.TST file (Service pack 2) in your bootable disk

Funny... I\'d done something similar last year, but not so complex.  I use Ghost frequently, and instead of making a disc that conformed to the MS standard, I\'ve gone ahead and used a Win98 Boot image (floppy), and just put the install sources in 3 separated dirs (i\'m using Win98SE, WinNt4Wkstn, and Win2kPro), wrote a boot menu in config.sys, and a launch script that copies the sources to the C: drive (in either win98, or i386), then launches the setup.exe (w98) with options, or winnt /s:c:i386 for winnt/2k.

It\'s worked very well for me, and updating the disc with changes is no hassle.

thanks to http://www.tech-hints.com as well as Barts for the 3 in 1 man pages. I used the Bart option with the w2kall.bin file. Booting works fine and the menu option selection works as well. Although, when Setup has completed the loading of the files and prompts you to [Enter] to continue...etc...

on pressing ENTER the next screen displays the following message....

Setup cannot find the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA)
Setup cannot continue, To quit, press F3.

Has anyone experienced/seen this problem before???? How does one overcome the EULA

p.s. I am not using unattended installation...

thanks

I am still having problems even getting this error.  I get similar errors only on CD\'s with a scratch over that file.  May or May not be the case with you.  I will keep looking.
As to the english bootup.  Both the dat files and the loader from Bart\'s site were written in english.  You can edit them if you would like (sorry I don\'t speak spanish) but I don\'t know if that will work on the loader.  I have edited the dat files without problems.  I will drop a line with Bart to see if there are any warnings about changing the language option.
Hope this Helps,

Twinkie
