I am building an unattended installation CD.

Windows 2000 with slipstreamed SP4.
\I386 has \$OEM$ folder with subfolders.
winnt.sif is in \I386

The CD boots OK. In text mode it stops to ask for partition info, and in GUI mode asks for computer name. This is OK.

But then it completely ignores the OemPreInstall info and doesn't copy the folders from \I386\$OEM$\$1\ to the hard drive.

It also 'does' install components that have been listed as 'do not install'

Can anyone see anything wrong in the winnt.sif file please ?

Below is content of winnt.sif (edited for confidentiality) ...
