@jaclaz Nice idea to create a small GUI. Let us know when it's ready. Have you sent a PM to kaares for hosting his tool ? I'm not sure he will read your proposition on this forum. Only 2 posts 'til he joined MSFN.

@Afterdawn sorry i'm off topic. You're right with "replies won't make sense anymore".

@Afterdawn Just one suggestion. Can you edit your first post starting this topic and put here the working script: I'm a bit confused with the one to use. You can add the edit tag (with date) to let the users know you have enhanced your script. and nice works, i will keep it for my RIS install to connect to my network share after OS install to launch software installs. @soulin & Afterdawn Thanks for NET USE issue solved @staples Thanks for the MAP DRIVE script @webmedic Thanks for the hivesys.inf entries to solve the problem. Hope it works also for 2K. gonna check this... I learn and learn more with members of MSFN.

@GM Seems to be a request from a lot of XPCreate users. Can you modify the :COPYSOURCE subroutine to xcopy only root files and the i386 folder from the source to CDROOT.

Report on check with NVidia display Drivers (i'm not using the latest available version but a customized version from my OEM): No problem. One Display dir with a subdir containing one inf, one cat file and all others files compressed. Report on check with Intel display Drivers: 1/ DisplayCodec dir is created with one subdir for each a3xx.inf, vch.inf, wa301x.inf file with Class=DisplayCodec in [Version] section. Each subdir content is an inf file, a cat file and a sy_ file. 2/ Display dir is created with an ialmnt5 subdir in it. The content is exactly what is expected: both ialmnt5.inf and ialmnt5.cat non compressed + all others exe, dll sys compressed. Even inf and sy_ from Class=Displaycodec and Class=IntelUnifiedDisplayDriver are present. Only cat files are missing. 3/ IntelUnifiedDisplayDriver is created with one subdir for both ikch8xx.inf and isb8xx.inf file with Class=IntelUnifiedDisplayDriver in [Version] section. Each subdir content is an inf file, a cat file and a sy_ file. How to avoid creation of dirs for infs with Class that aren't used for base driver install? Inf files containing a [ClassInstall32] section should not been parsed. Their Class= in [Version] section isn't a predefined classes used by class installer. Some infos come from here

Whilst searching and browsing the threads I have seen this line of code directly under some peoples' TITLE key in their RunOnceEx.cmd examples. Can someone enlighten me as to what it is and does? I have recently changed over to RunOnceEx from batch_file.cmd on my UA XPCD with the help of the recommended "RunOnceEx Creator" and it doesn't create this key for me. Don't know for this value but here some infos about another value: "Flags"=dword:00000ab8 http://www.helpfulsolutions.com/Silent_IE5_Install.htm Getting rid of the "Windows Update" dialog To get rid of this dialog, which appears when the system is rebooted, you need to modify a registry entry after the IE5 setup has completed, but before the system is rebooted. The value needs to be set to 00000ab8. Setting this value only affects the visibility of this dialog; Windows will actually do the processing of the stuff that is normally associated with this dialog whether it is shown or not. (probably a good thing) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx] "Flags"=dword:00000ab8 Getting rid of the "Personalized Settings" dialog Disabling this dialog may have adverse effects and you should weigh out the potential problems very carefully. The essence of the problem is that if you disable this dialog you are not just preventing it from being displayed, but are also disabling some crucial aspects of the IE5 setup; specifically with regard to updating a previous IE installation. If you're installing IE5 on Win95 OSR2, Win98, and WinNT 4.0, all of which already install various versions of IE as part of the default installation of the OS, then you must allow this dialog to be displayed so that updates to the users personalized settings from earlier versions of IE get carried across properly. Basically the only OS that you can safely disable this dialog for is the Win95 original retail version, which did not ship with IE as part of the OS, and even then you should follow the following instructions very carefully . To disable this dialog, set the following registry entry to "Y" and after the user has rebooted remove the key. This key does not get removed automatically, which means that if you install the basic IE5 components on a Win95 retail version machine and do not remove this key, and the user at a later time installs IE5 or above, they will not get any of the personalized settings migrated. This will not be a good thing. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components] "NoIE4StubProcessing"="Y" And i'm running Windows 2000 Pro / Server

I don't understand "iles". It is a typo error or should i go back to school to learn English The other problem i would like to fix: set the folder name to the first eight chars for drivers with Class name longer than 8 like Class=SmartCardReader

I have just edited my previous post with a code to solve my need to set a CLASSNAME variable EQUAL to the Class value in the inf file. Need only one FOR /F command line where you use two FOR /F command lines First attempt with your new batch file: trying to compress Intel display Drivers with a302.inf to a314.inf (12 inf files) + ialmnt5.inf ; ikch8xx.inf ; isb8xx.inf ; Vch.inf ; wa301a.inf ; wa301b.inf (6 inf files) + various exe, dll and sys files. if we take a look at the inside, only ialmnt5.inf has a Class=display and is used to install the driver. Others inf's are copied by ialmnt5.inf copy sections, like exe sys and dll. The batch create a DisplayCodec dir and a302 subdir and copy a302.sys and a302.cat uncompressed and a302.sy_ (compressed) in subdir and then exit. Can you add a check on the Class value to determine which inf file to use?

@mediapla found this link:scaleo driver update-pack winXP (69mb - for all scaleo models 2003/2004 !) The 7z archive is password protected. the exe first checks if branded FSC computer then extract all drivers in a %systemroot%\xxxxxx dir. But there is no batch file or exe other than devcon.exe and 7z console tool exe all the install is done through the main exe which extract first all drivers files.

Nice script ! I like people sharing their knowledge in batch scripting. It help me to improve my own batch files and create new one. And i agree with you with the huge size of NVidia drivers. Does it mean that i can use the compressed folder to install my Nvidia board just adding the path to WINNT.SIF OemPnPDriversPath= I have made some modifications to your batch file in order to put the result in a new subdir using variables set at start of the batch file or assigned by reading the INF file: ::Select Package Source Dir SET PV=nvidia_Quadro4_41_04_w2k_wxp\WinXP ::SET PV=ad_198x_v5_12_01_3621_w2k_wxp\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP ::SET PV=FSC_1001614\PRO1000\WS03XP2K ::Manufacturer Source Dir SET SRCPATH="C:\fsc.tmp\Display\%PV%" ::SET SRCPATH="C:\fsc.tmp\sound\%PV%" ::SET SRCPATH="C:\fsc.tmp\network\%PV%" ::Default Destination Dir Root SET DESTDIR="C:\PnPDrvrs" ../..

How to check which one is the real inf installer, for example i830mnt5.inf for an Intel 865 integrated display and to set the destination to \PnPDrvrs\Display\i830mnt5 Thanks hp38user.

The MSI should be deleted after extraction, but i have "REMed' the command for testing purpose (Don't want to re-download the file for each test) Just edit the last line of batch file MSXML3.CMD ::DEL SVC-PRE\MSXML3.MSI to remove the two :: characters. The whole procedure is still beta and should be added to XPCreate code if Green Machine agree with this. We can select in XPCreate.ini to delete all TEMP stuff after XPCreation and i would like temp to be deleted by XPCreate.cmd. Just wait for the next release of XPCreate. Until GM release a new XPCreate, i build the MSXML3.EXE SFX manually before running XPCreate.cmd, manually add the command in SVCPACK.INF, copy the file in CDROOT\I386\SVCPACK and delete IE6START.EXE after XPCreate.cmd been run. That's why i choose to add in SVC-PRE where we add IEXPRESS SFX which don't need any re-work (they use the /Q:A /R:N silent switches). As i added IE6START.EXE cmd in MSXML3.EXE, it's the best place to let run it just after IE6SP1.EXE. I have also add SCRIPTEN.EXE to SVC-PRE as it's related to IE6 update and change the order of execution for DX9 (sometimes installation of DX9 fails if i run it before %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess command. Time consumtion is less than 30s and waste of space is equal the size of MSXML3.EXE (573 Kb). MSXML*.* files cannot be slipstreamed in 2K source as MSXML3 Parser isn't a standard component of 2K, just an added component by IE6. I will try to add to 2K as standard component later with tommyp method (which slipstream IE6 into 2K source and replace IE5). SVCPACK.INF in previous post edited to reflect changes.

Thanks for spending some time to discover this issue. Journal viewer is M$ bloatware like MSN Messenger, Movie Maker, etc... I don't know if someone really install it on his unattended CD. I'm not concerned B) and will let Green Machine make some investigations to fix this problem.
