Copy StartLayout fails - Wrong path

[powershellking]

Hi there,

when using OSDBuilder I encountered an error. When applying the start layout the copy process fails because of a wrong path. The issue is in OSD-OSBuild.ps1 at line 186.

This line currently is:

Copy-Item -Path "$OSDBuilderContent\$StartLayoutXML" -Destination "$MountDirectory\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\LayoutModification.xml" -Recurse -Force | Out-Null

The error is here that $StartLayoutXML already contains $OSDBuilderContent so this can be left and the new line would be:

Copy-Item -Path "$StartLayoutXML" -Destination "$MountDirectory\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\LayoutModification.xml" -Recurse -Force | Out-Null

I have the same issue when copying the unattend.xml file. The problem here is also in OSD-OSBuild.ps1 on line 206 and 207, but as far as I can see this also affects the process of adding packages.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sorry just saw this. Can you run Get-OSDBuilder and look at the Home path. Do you have a trailing backslash? This could be causing the issue

I would recommend using Join-Path in your scripts. Doing so will avoid issues when combining variables and strings for a full path. Such as in the case of the trailing backslash you're asking about.

Such as: $JoinedPath = Join-Path -Path $MountDirectory -ChildPath "Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\LayoutModification.xml"
