0000029: M2+RunOnceEx: if no $OEM$ dir exists, then it won't be created and as a result RunOnceEx won't work

Notes
(0000098) BashratTheSneaky (administrator) 2006-05-27 07:12	Method 2 does not require the $OEM$ folder, but the OEM folder. Please post your slipstream log.

(0000099) Nakatomi2010 (reporter) 2006-05-27 07:50	Could be these are related to the error I posted earlier....

(0000102) razormoon (reporter) 2006-05-27 08:27	I'm currently going through an M1 slipstream, so I'll post log in a little while. I wanted to ask though...if $OEM$ is only used by M1, why does dpbase edit my cmdlines.txt and adds roe.cmd to $OEM$? (Provided $OEM$ is there of course)

(0000103) razormoon (reporter) 2006-05-27 09:13 edited on: 2006-05-27 09:44	Attached is the M1 BASE LOG. If you have a look you'll notice some discrepancies at the end of the log, specifically with how $OEM\DPs_ROE.cmd is missing a $. Take a look at the cmd file...do a find... \\ and you'll notice entries with double backslashes! Will post M2 in a few minutes.

So...It says its updating and creating stuff in $OEM$ (and $OEM :P), but the directory just doesn't exist. The above excerpt is from M2 with no preexisting $OEM$. However it does do what it says when there's already an $OEM$ folder in place.

(0000105) razormoon (reporter) 2006-05-27 10:07	Uh, more stuff... I do have my own $OEM$ folder w/ bells, whistles, whathaveyou. I just tried to slipstream to an empty $OEM$ folder and basepack deleted it! lol

(0000106) razormoon (reporter) 2006-05-27 10:20	So, in summary, you mentioned M2 does not require $OEM$. I was just curious as to what type of cleanup happens, even with M2. M2 still gives me the option to use RunOnceEx, yet does not implement anything unless 1) You have an existing $OEM$ folder and 2) $OEM$ is populated with files (otherwise, the directory gets deleted). I'm just trying to get some clarification as to whether or not to run dps_fnsh.cmd, using M2, at first login. Another thing is the various occurences of double backslashes in dps_fnsh.cmd itself. It was a cool find. Thanks for everything bashrat.
