Instruction

Copy programs to dir

If you want to add files witch will be copied to System Drive (C:\Install) copy the needed files to

to_flash_drive\sources\$OEM$\$1\Install\apps

Install programs (BEFORE you will see the desktop)

Be careful here. If something goes wrong - it can handle the next steps and you must push the reset button on the PC

These apps will be installed from the system - not from the user! Some apps need to be installed from the user!

If you need to install them BEFORE you will see the desktop (prepare screen) open file

to_flash_drive\sources\$OEM$\$$\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd

This write your info to file

echo [TEXT] >>%systemdrive%\[PATH_TO_LOG]\[NAME].[EXT]

This will start install/run nedded runable file (exe, msi, etc)

start /wait "" "%systemdrive%\[PATH_TO_FILE]\[NAME].[EXT]" [FLAGS_FOR_EXE]

you can add >>%systemdrive%\[PATH_TO_LOG]\[NAME].[EXT] to the end of any row if you want to see info/text in the log file

Do anything else after showing desktop

Open

to_flash_drive\autounattend.xml
