    Rename "Windows" / Seven


    Hello,

    I need to rename directory "Windows" to another name, during Seven installation.

    I use with Xp, the config file Winnt.sif.

    Do you know is possible ?

    Thx,

    Thomas

    Welcome!

    I don't believe that is possible. You mean the Windows folder in C:\ ? That would mess everything up, because programs look to that directory for important libraries.

    I'm sorry, but that would take some considerable tweaking, both on the installation disc, and for every program you installed.
