Hi! Just wanted to try my luck here with something thats been bothering me since the jump from XP/7 to Windows 8. I am still looking for a way to move files/folders to the "Program Files (x86)" folder via the $OEM$ folder when installing Windows. $Progs will move files/folders correctly to "Program Files" (x64). I have tried the following: $Progsx86. $Progs(x86). $Progs x86. $Progs (x86) without success. Any ideas are welcome!

$Progs expands to %PROGRAM_FILES%

W11 is a 64-bit platform, so that's always \Program Files.
Therefore you have to do it manually, using $OEM$\$1\Program Files (x86)\

Thanks for your suggestion. I just tried this: $OEM$\$1\Program Files (x86)\TEST but the folder called TEST did not appear in C:\Program Files (x86). Am i missing something?

Did you copy any files inside? $OEM$ doesn't create any folders unless something is inside them (forcing the folder creation).

You are correct! I made a misstake and left the folder named TEST empty. Tried it again with files inside and SUCCESS! Thank you!
