Post Setup and SFX files

[RBCC]

I have a few .sfx files[Self Extracting Archive] made with WinRAR, can I run them in Post Setup-Pre Login? How do I do This?

Add / File / Before logon (Machine)

You should confirm your SFX will work if running from inside the "\Windows\Setup" folder.

Where is the C:\Windows\Setup Folder I googled it iand it came up nil!

NTLite creates a new ISO folder "\sources\$OEM$\$$\Setup", and copies all Post-Setup installers, scripts and files there.

WinPE Setup copies the same files to C:\Windows\Setup, where they will be executed by a batch script created by NTLite. There are plenty of explanations covering C:\Windows\Setup on this forum, if you used the Search function.

Can you point me to where it says the types files that Windows\Setup pre-setup runs and those it doesn't ???

NTLite recognizes these file types as special:

.bat & .cmd	Run as "cmd /c" on script file
.exe	Run as Windows executable
.jpg	Copy as the desktop wallpaper to "\Windows\Web\img0.jpg"
.msi	Run "msiexec /qn" on MSI package file
.ps1	Run as "powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -f" on script file
.reg	Run as "reg import" on registry file

Everything else is copied as a non-executable "passive" file to the \Windows\Setup folders, unless you override the file's Destination path.
