murphy78 DiskPart and Apply Image Script

For the $OEM$ folder copy, it's much more complicated to automate than to simply copy.
For the scripted version, this is what I have in the diskpart-apply-image script:

Code:

:OEMFOLDERCOPY
REM Use a set var="" else the IF NOT EXIST statement will crash the script

SET OEMFOLDER=""
FOR %%i IN (Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A) DO (IF EXIST %%i:\Sources\$OEM$\ SET OEMFOLDER=%%i:\Sources\$OEM$&GOTO :OEMPROCEED)

IF EXIST Z:\Windows\syswow64 (
FOR %%i IN (Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A) DO (IF EXIST %%i:\x64\Sources\$OEM$\ SET OEMFOLDER=%%i:\x64\Sources\$OEM$&GOTO :OEMPROCEED)
) ELSE (
FOR %%i IN (Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A) DO (IF EXIST %%i:\x86\Sources\$OEM$\ SET OEMFOLDER=%%i:\x86\Sources\$OEM$&GOTO :OEMPROCEED)
)
IF NOT EXIST %OEMFOLDER% GOTO :MULTIBOOTOPTION

:OEMPROCEED
IF !FASTSETUP! EQU 1 GOTO:AFTEROEMCHOICE
ECHO ===============================================================================
ECHO.                  $OEM$ Folder was detected in your system
ECHO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ECHO Copy the files from %OEMFOLDER%?
ECHO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%CHOICEEXE% /c yn /n /m "Copy the $OEM$ folder contents to the current Windows Partition? (Y/N): "
IF !ERRORLEVEL! NEQ 1 GOTO :MULTIBOOTOPTION

:AFTEROEMCHOICE
echo.
Echo Copying contents of %OEMFOLDER% to system partition
if exist %OEMFOLDER%\$$\ (xcopy %OEMFOLDER%\$$\* Z:\Windows\ /cherkyi)
if exist %OEMFOLDER%\$1\ (xcopy %OEMFOLDER%\$1\* Z:\ /cherkyi)

If you did it without the script, it's much simpler, but it won't ask the user and it won't auto-detect the directory. It would work something like this:

Code:

rem (replace D: with the same drive letter that the install.wim exists)
xcopy D:\Sources\$OEM$\$$\* Z:\Windows\ /cherkyi
xcopy D:\Sources\$OEM$\$1\* Z:\ /cherkyi

 

It might give errors if you try to do it before applying the image. I've never tried. I always copy the files after applying the image. DISM can give errors if the partition isn't empty I believe.

 

On the recovery partition, it's complicated by the fact that you need a winrecfg.exe and winrecfg.exe.mui in the corresponding folder structure. For example, I use an en-us version, so I have x86 and x64 versions of winrecfg.exe in my DASBIN folder, but I also have winrecfg.exe.mui files in their en-us subfolders. If you wanted to use pt-br versions, you would need to download the Windows ADK for the version you wanted to use. If I recall correctly, I am using a basic one from the Windows 10 ADK from 2019. Windows 7 doesn't natively support UEFI and doesn't enable recovery partitions by default. Everything from Windows 8 and above should work fine with a normal Windows 10 winrecfg.exe and mui file.

 

The first part is intentional. $1 goes to system root Z:\
$$ goes to Z:\Windows

xcopy [source file(s)] [destination location] /[arguments]

 

No, I'm afraid it's not that easy. You could use the en-us versions from my DASBIN folder if you want, but if you want to use pt-br versions, you have to download the ADK,

No that is not correct because your ISO/USB wouldn't have a windows directory. It would have a sources directory. I'll help you out in a bit but I need to eat lunch.

 

You have to get the winpe environment tools downloaded like dism, winrecfg etc. I forget exactly what it is called.

 

Oh, you're thinking of the ramdrive boot version of windows and not the actual windows setup DVD/USB.
The ramdrive is always X:
The files that exist on the ram drive are the files that are in the boot.wim bootable index (usually index 2)

As far as unattend.xml or autounattend.xml, I'm not entirely sure. What I'm reading is that it should be copied into Z:\windows\Panther
I don't actually use them, but you can check out this MS article: https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-br/w...=windows-11#implicit-answer-file-search-order

 

No it would be like
xcopy y:\sources\autounattend.xml z:\windows\panther\ /cherkyi

 

@fabricio simoes
When you boot into a DVD or USB, it copies what is on the boot.wim bootable index into a ramdrive labeled X:
It acts as a small version of the windows operating system or Preinstallation Environment (PE)
You can even copy files onto the boot index of the boot.wim by mounting it and unmounting it and /commit the changes. This is how we copy the files onto

If you look at the add-Diskpart_Apply_Image_Tool_murphy78_custom_v1.3.3.cmd script, we use wimlib-imagex.exe because it's easier and cleaner than dism, but you can use dism.
Here are the relevant portions from the script:

Code:

:: Detect OS Architecture
if %processor_architecture% == AMD64 (set arch=x64) else (set arch=x86)

if %arch%==x86 (
  set _wimlib="bin\wimlib-imagex.exe"
  set "xOS=x86"
) else (
  set _wimlib="bin\bin64\wimlib-imagex.exe"
  set "xOS=amd64"
)

Set DPFOLDER=murphy78-DiskPart-Apply-v1.5
Set BOOTWIMINDEX=2

echo.
echo Adding Murphy78 Diskpart and Apply Image Script To Boot.wim...
echo.
if not exist Work\sources\boot.wim goto :murphydualboot
%_wimlib% update Work\sources\boot.wim %BOOTWIMINDEX% --command "add '%DPFOLDER%\%warch%\' '\'"
%_wimlib% optimize "WORK\Sources\boot.wim" --recompress&goto :startwinpeshl
:murphydualboot
%_wimlib% update Work\x64\sources\boot.wim %BOOTWIMINDEX% --command "add '%DPFOLDER%\x64\' '\'"
%_wimlib% optimize "WORK\x64\Sources\boot.wim" --recompress
%_wimlib% update Work\x86\sources\boot.wim %BOOTWIMINDEX% --command "add '%DPFOLDER%\x86\' '\'"
%_wimlib% optimize "WORK\x86\Sources\boot.wim" --recompress

As you can see it calls the exe to UPDATE the boot.wim 's boot index using the command to ADD files
Then it runs the same exe but with OPTIMIZE boot.wim and RECOMPRESS argument.
This is all BEFORE you ever make an ISO or USB

Without all of the scripting it would look something like:

Code:

c:\work\wimlib-imagex.exe update "c:\work\win10iso\sources\boot.wim" 2 --command "add 'c:\work\myextrafiles\' '\'"
c:\work\wimlib-imagex.exe optimize "c:\work\win10iso\sources\boot.wim" --recompress

 

I'm not sure what are you asking. If you only want a single index for the install.wim, you have to export it to a new install.wim.
If you just want to have the autounattend.xml match the install.wim, you can change the numbers on the xml file using a text editor.
