Run
Code:
reg export HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation %userprofile%\desktop\OEM.reg

If you want to set it at installation time, you can use Unattend.xml. See OEMInformation

Yes. Open the sources folder and create the folder structure:
Code:
sources
  $OEM$
    $$
That is $OEM$ inside sources, $$ inside $OEM$. The $$ folder content will be copied to Windows folder during installation. You can create any subfolders inside $$, like "OEM" to match the answer file example.

this is terrible.!! :cry: i donno how to create and edit xml files... :p :p
The truly terrible thing is that you don't Google...
