 Subject: [Unattended] path in os for XP Pro and Home
 
 Hello,
 
 we want to install both XP Pro and Home. But how to design 
 install directory names in os dir? Both would normally named 
 to winxpsp2. How to distinguish between Pro and Home? 

you could design the directory name as you like. Unattended searches for all
subdirectories in z:\os

 And 
 even how to distinguish between both during postinstall?
 What would be %WINVER% in Pro and Home?
 Are there any ways to manage that?
sorry, got no idea!

 
 Greetings
 Alexander

Maybe you could use the os_media line that is stored in the unattended.txt. During package installation, that path should be accurate. Now you just need to figure out how to access that infomation and put it into a variable (sorry, I'm no help with perl).

 From the website:

 http://unattended.sourceforge.net/step-by-step.php

 Create a subdirectory under Z:\os to hold a copy of your Windows CD.
 You should probably give the directory a meaningful name like winxp
 or win2ksp4, and you probably want to limit the name to eight
 characters lest it look strange when viewed from DOS. (The name does
 not matter much because install.pl will scan the contents to figure
 out what it is. However, you should limit the name to 8 characters or
 fewer, especially if you are using the Linux-based boot disk.)

That's clear to me. But we designed directory names according to the 
identification string return by todo.pl fpr %WINVER% (which are like 
winxp, win2ksp4, ...). We used this variable to access the according 
dir in z:\os. The problem is more that the script makes no difference 
between XP Pro and Home. So we can't use then %WINVER% to access the 
specific windows directory.

Alexander
