i put together a ROM, i was wondering how i can make it so that its an .exe. i posted in the kitchens section but someone said to just post the txt file. i would like to learn on my own if its possible how to do it. dont really wanna post it till i get all the bugs worked out of the rom.

Also is there a way i can add my version of windows life to the kitchen just cause its more up to date than the one thats in there.

Thanks All

Making the .exe is just a function of the archiver (winzip/winrar/etc).

You can add your own oems by putting them in the USER_OEM folder.

Thanks for the quick reply, now how would i go about doing that? do i just add all the stuff into a folder and archive it?

When you go to make a zip or rar file in Winzip or Winrar, there should be an option to make the file self-executable. Select that...and that should make a *.exe file for you with all your contents in it.

When i add my oem to the User_OEM folder, do i add the cab? thats what ive been doing and i cant seem to get it to work

As far as I know, you don't add "cab" files to that folder. You need actual OEMs.

You may already know this but: a cab file is a self executing file which installs on a PPC such as a .exe or .msi file on a PC. A OEM is a zip version of all files of a perticular program/software.

I am not too good with OEMs thus I don't want to comment too much...as I may accidentally give you incorrect info.

Thanks for the explanation, didnt know thats what they meant about OEM's. I found something where i can add my own cabs, ima see if it works that way.

EDIT: Guess that didnt work, i end up getting an error in the build

what i was doing was right, just for some wierd reason when ever i add a cab for something windows related it was always giving me issues.
You just have to use the OEMizer and add the cabs that way.
