would like to use the driverpack in our Network Company, but seems to be still buggy. I hope you´ll fix all the litte errors soon. Nevertheless, you are doing a great job.

i think i will wait testing it. This version seems to be a bit buggy ..waiting for 5.03

ill give it a try and try to install on raid0. Will report tomorrow.

what the status? Finished debugging? I hope i can test the new Masstorage Pack today. What about the Nvraid issue? Did you manage that problem?

ok, i hope you will make it. If you need somebody to test the nv issue , just drop me a line.

i deleted it yet. i use CDRWs for testing. I hope you can fix the "nvraid issue" because i am not able to install windows on the raid 0. Even using F6 ends up in an error. regards

i used the driverpack in my XP CD without any SP. Worked well, until Setup starts. i get following message: "Fehler: Interne Setupstrukturen sind beschädigt (Phase 0)". In english i would translate it so, "Internal Setupstructures are damaged / corrupt (phase 0)" . I used method 2. I have an epox 9nda3+ w/ A63 3000+ . I want to install windows on two 80GB WD P-ata raid 0. any idea?

i tryed this and some others ways to get it work. The best result was, that setup detected the raid (2x80 GB P-ATA), finished the installation, rebootet and... when windows loads for the first time, i only get an bluescreen and the system reboots. the Driverpacks v. 5.01 also give me an error ("setupstructures have errors"). So i think i have to use an extra raid controller.

no. I use 2 Thinpad t40 and at work i often have to deal with those Laptops. Mobility drivers are not included. You have to modify them or dl and install the drivers made by the manufacture. You could include the omega drivers because the come with mobility support. regards

what about ATI mobility Driver? Do you plan to integrate them?

ok.. i think i am getting it to work step by step. the log was ok so far, the only error that occured was that the setup.exe files were not found. So i think the problem was in the xml file. I fixed that. testing now thx for helping so far!!! while watching the installation in vmware i have another question. i read about the office silent installation, i tryed all and it worked fine. But the Problem ist, that the ISO with integrated O2003 is ~925MB big. Is there a possebility to reduce the (german) O2003 administrative installation? So WinXP incl. Office and all the other Tools would fit on 1 CD. I know about splitting it on two CD but that is not my target. I only need word, excel, frontpage and powerpoint. No Cliparts etc. i have not found a menupoint where i can select/deselect the O2003 parts. I have read some posts here but have not found a sollution. edit: ok, windows is running. xplode ist working but i still get this error in the Execution treath: Error running command: 'execute' - error reported by plugin (file not found) so i think there must be an error in my cd paths. i attached the new log with the error xplode.log xplode.log

Hmm yes. Is that normal that xplode copies the folders to the HDD? If yes, yes i would xplode to delete the folders after setup has finished. I want xplode to install all additional Programms direct from the Installation CD and not after copying the files on the HDD. Is that possible? i fixed the </items< tag. texting now

HI, i am new here I have read most oft the xplode posts but i am not able to get it working. I have done following things yet, btw i am german, sry for mistakes : 1. Slipstreamed the SP1 into XP and reduced it with nlite. ~180MB now 2. Build my own winnt.sif for unattended Setup 3. Made my own $OEM$ Folder with subfolders. 4. Put the setup exe files, Drivers etc. in the DIRs 5. Put the xplode files into C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Install 6. edited the xplode.xml file with my files which i want to install The unattended setup works good, no errors. I used the install.cmd to install my programms, that worked great too. But now i want to switch from that .cmd "way" to the xplode "way" here is my winnt.sif ;SetupMgrTag[setupParams] UserExecute="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Xplode.exe /log:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\xplode.log" [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes Unattendswitch=yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_WinXP_0_chipsatzF;Drivers\000_WinXP_0_chipsatz_2k3;Drivers\000_WinXP_0_IDE;Drivers\000_WinXP_AGP;Drivers\002_WinXP2k_ati_inf;Drivers\003_sound;Drivers\004_netzwerk"DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=ebfda92fd336b54aaad3b435b51404ee7388d9e3cdb986a53624d4c68e3f9bdc EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=110 OemSkipWelcome=1 [userData] ProductKey= FullName="-" OrgName="-" ComputerName=wakue [TapiLocation] CountryCode=49 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000407 [identification] JoinWorkgroup=Arbeitsgruppe [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [shell]; CustomDefaultThemeFile="%systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Slate.theme" DefaultStartPanelOff=yes DefaultThemesOff=yes here my xplode.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="unicode" ?><XPlode> <config> <hidewindow>Windows Update</hidewindow> <hidewindow>CMD.EXe</hidewindow> <show total='6' after='2' subcount='true' /> <!-- turn antialiasing OFF if you're running GUIinstall mode --> <font face="Tahoma" antialias="false" small="8" large="12" /> <!-- note the position attribute - it is listed in 'x,y' positions. --> <!-- 0..8 still may be used. --> <window width='440' position='8' fixmain='0' /> <windowmode mode='guitransparent' /> <!-- can be standalone, guitransparent, or guiredraw --> <!-- for the latter two, you don't need to specify background colours, or images. --> <colours> <header back='#003399' fore='#FFFFFF' image='%XPLODE%\images\head.png' /> <footer back='#003399' fore='#FFFFFF' image='%XPLODE%\images\foot.png' /> <progress border='#FFFFFF' back='#00000000' fore='#FFFFFFAA' fore2='#00000033' /> <main back='#FF00FF' fore='#FFFFFF' current='#FFFF00' description='#FFFFFF' image='%XPLODE%\main2.png' overlay='#FFFFFF22'/> </colours> <strings> <!-- main XPlode string --> <title>Post-Setup Installationen</title> <complete>Fertig</complete> <!-- adduser plugin strings --> <adduser>Adding user #1#</adduser> <addusertogroup>Adding user #1# to group #2#</addusertogroup> <addgroup>Adding group #1#</addgroup> <!-- file/dir ops plugin strings --> <copy>Copying #1# (#2#/#3# - #4#)</copy> <move>Moving #1# (#2#/#3# - #4#)</move> <delete>Deleting #1# (#3#)</delete> <!-- shortcut plugin --> <shortcut>Adding shortcut: #1#</shortcut> </strings> </config> <item display='blah'> <example display='Applying tweaks...' program='%SYSTEMROOT%\regedit.exe' arguments='/s "%XPLODE%\regtest.reg"' username='Spike' password='swordfish' /> </item> <item display='Adobe Reader 6'> <execute display='Installiere Adobe Reader 6...' program='#Sourcedrive#\install\Anwendungen\AdobeReader6\Adober601.msi -p"-s /v\"/qn\""' /> </item> <item display='Diskeeper 8 Server Edition'> <execute display='Installiere Diskeeper 8 Server Edition...' program='#Sourcedrive#\install\Anwendungen\Diskeeper\setup.exe /s /v/qn' /> </item> <item display='Java VM'> <execute display='Update Java VM...' program='#Sourcedrive#\install\Anwendungen\JavaVM\MSJavx86_3810update.exe /Q:A /R:N' /> </item> <item display='MSN Messenger 6.2'> <execute display='Installiere MSN Messenger 6.2...' program='#Sourcedrive#\install\Anwendungen\MSN62\MsnMsgs.msi /QB' /> </item> <item display='Nero 6.3 Ultra Edition'> <execute display='Installiere Nero 6.3 Ultra Edition...' program='#Sourcedrive#\install\Anwendungen\Nero63\Nero63.exe /silent /noreboot' /> </item> <item display='Nero 6.3 Ultra Edition Registrierung'> <execute display='Installiere Nero 6.3 Ultra Edition...' program='/S #Sourcedrive#\install\Anwendungen\Nero63\register.reg'/> </item> <item display='Winrar 3.11'> <execute display='Installiere Winrar 3.11...' program='#Sourcedrive#\install\Anwendungen\winrar\winrar311.exe /s' /> </item></XPlode> the folders on my xp cd or the following: C:\XPCD\I386\...\ C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\000_chipsatz..\ etc. C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Install\Anwendungen\winrar...\ etc C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$$\System32 C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$Docs C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$Progs After the installation hast finished an windows is running, the drivers and install folders are located at c:\ I do not want them to be there.
