Ventoy Forums

Hello,

I've tried to inject files into windows but they don't show up

I've made an archive like this with a single file in it : sources.zip\sources\$OEM$\$1\Users\Public\Desktop

My ventoy.json is like this 


I have no errors while installing, but the file isn't dropped in Users\Public\Desktop

Any ideas ?

Thanks

In the setup screen, press Shift+F10 to launch cmd.exe and  type  X:\windows\System32\ventoy.log

Here it is :

It seems to be fine.

The file is actually in x:\sources\$OEM$\$1\Users\Public\Desktop

Is there something specific I missed to make it follow from WinPE to Windows 10 ?

I just tried to remove spaces in the filename, but it's not better

it tried to make the path shorter : sources.zip\sources\$OEM$\$1\myfile.ps1 and still no luck

Where do you want the file to be?

Ventoy just run the follow cmd in X:\Windows\System32 directory, and ventoy doesn't care about the directory structure after decompress.

ventoy\7za.exe x -y -aoa -oX:\  D:/ventoy/sources.zip

If this command success, then that's OK.  You can run it in cmd.exe manually.

I wonder if you want the file to be in X:\Users\Public\Desktop ? If so, you should make an archive like    abc.zip\Users\Public\Desktop

but that will make the files in \Users\.... on the installation media, not on the final install.

Putting them in x:\sources\$OEM$\$1\Users\Public\Desktop is the good pratice (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previou...8(v=ws.10) )

Maybe i'm missing something in my autoinstall file, i'll keep digging

Ventoy was just designed to inject to the WinPE environment, not the final install.
Ventoy just decompress your archive to the X:\  and that's all.

Got it !

I was hoping someone who had already done it could help me. But I guess i’ll have to search
