So I run the install and grab the files that appear in the temp directory, then I can us 7zip to create a switchless installer using the line above, and the other bits of code, or am I missing something?

I'm having this HUGE issue with my DVD keping me frmo saying "YAY, DONE!", and it's PowerDVD 5... I've created a switchless installer for it which works, I used it on several different machines, but for the life of me I just cannot make it install during a real install process, it runs through sucessfully, but it wont install... I trigger it through WPI, and it's even the first thing executed, before .NET Framework 2.0 even... But when all is said and done it doesn't install... It leaves a log on the C: drive, but no install... So I was thinking, because it's a switchless installer I might be able to have it triggered using the SVCPACK.inf method, but that would means EVERY machine would get it installed, and as a result I'd be uninstalling it at the end of every install... So I was wondering if there was a command I could use to uninstall it silently... OR, if there's a way I could make WPI trigger another RunOnceEx instance following the reboot at the end of the install.... So that on the second boot it would instlal PowerDVD...

This would most likely be XPize's fault then... Any ideas which files I should restore for it to work probably, or will there be general finger wagging all around?

So, when I try to run the RUN_ME.cmd, it throws this ROBOCOPY eror at me, and then craps out... Thing is I've never had this issue before.... I'm using an XP version I made using nLite and your these driver packs... I'm using the original data from the machine I had at a different store on a larger drive, but the data is still intact... The drive USED to be I, but now it'd D... (In case letters has something to do with it) The directory structure has not changed... If I copy Robocopy to the root of the CD along with the other three items it works just fine, but toherwise no. Same for using the thing to copy all the mass storage drivers to a temp location... Thoughts?

Warranty was expired... We don't begin to dismantle a laptop if it's still under warranty...

It was purely for diagnostic purposes, nothing permament... We just wanted to know if it was the processor or the board.... We took the processor and stuck it in a desktop board, so the processor works fine, must be the board....

We've got a laptop that uses a Socket 754 processor in it, and we\re suspectnig that the processor is bad... Thing is we don't have another socket 754 mobile processor to try in it, but we DO have a skt 754 desktop processor to use.... The processor fits, but the mobile one doesn't have the heat spreader, so the desktop is thicker... But we're just trying to diagnose it... So... Would a desktop 754 work in a laptop, or we shouldn't even be entertaining the thought....?

As far as I know all you should need to do is list the .cat files under the [setuphotfixes] sections.... And the source directory structure shouldn't need to be changed, simply \svcpack\hotfixes... You're already told the txtsetup.sif where the source is, everything referenced from that point on is done with that target in mind...

I'd like to brand the system I use my install on, this is easy to do. My problem lies with flawless appearance... What I do is put the brand in the appropriate place within the $OEM$ directory, and the systems installs Windows XP using the Windows Classic theme, and I math the background of my bran logo to the gray of the system properties Window... Makes for a flawless fit.... Install XPize though and that color changes... SO I was wondering if there's a way I could incorporate a bran into the ZPize install, so that when I install XPize it replaces the logo with an XPized version, and then when XPized is uninstalled it removes it... Now I'm obviously not asking for a special release just for me, but maybe a tipp on how to replace that logo, or a utility that'll do it for you.... Why not make the logo proper in the first place? I don't always install ZPize on the machines I work on, so I'd like the two different ones for appearance reasons...

As my understanding as it, XP Pro CD is essentially CD1 of MCE, and what triggers the request for CD2 is the MCE key... You should be able to change the language stuff in XP though to reflect the local language... Just never done it before....

The keyboard I was using sometimes makes an e appear twice... Sorry... That's not the reason...

I'm creating a switchless installeer for Poweer DVD, and it works, for the most part... The issue I'm running into is that in the config.txt script ;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="program.exe –switch" ;!@InstallEnd@! Theer's a set of "'s, I need to use anotheer set as the code I need it ;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="setup.exe –s -f2"%systeemdrive%\pdvd.log"" ;!@InstallEnd@! It spits an error back at me... How do I teell it to ignoree the inner "'s..?

So, I've been installing XPize on some computer for about a month now and figured out that direct integration is not the best method, so I've been using WPI to install it... Well, recently I just updaetd my XP Pro Coroprate install and installed it to test it... The updates were integrating RyanVM's update pack 2.0... Anyways... When the install was done and WPI ran it did it's 2 minute countdown to a reboot and when it rebooted everything was XPized, but task switcher had not been installed, the updated theme wasn't... It just wasn't completely installed properly... Was this a fluke, or is there something fishy?

Wont know until tonight when I try it on a machine at Job 2, I tried my old one on my guinea pig here but it worked fine, so... Hopefully the image will be reburned and good to go before 5:30, otherwise I wont have time to write the image...

****, all this time I thought it waws a problem with the DVD last night, because it installed fine on two other machines.... Oh well... Hopefully this fix'll work... Anyone else try this?

As my project of making a multiboot DVD comes slowly to a close I find myself with a 40gb hard drive full of data I don't want to lose, but also don't want to get into the wrong hands, I spent a good 2 to 4 months trying to perfect this thing for me (I'm a novice, and trying to do a bunch of different things, all while learning along the way) I don't want the next person who comes along behind me to just mess it all up... In fact I don't want the research material left over... So I want to create a deadman switch... I am the only technician here and the owner and I have been having scrapes lately, primarily due to his being determined to ALWAYS be right, despite obviously being wrong, and worryingg about the wrong thing, i.e. I am now to testall CMOS batteries when they enter the store, because his sisters CMOS battery was apparently dying and I missed it... etc, etc.... I want to have to type something in every 24 to 48 hours on this computer, and if I don't the drive be corrupted... While trying to let it like like natural causes... Sort of like something I can integrate into the startup routine, so that when the system boots I have to locate and run a program that if not activated every say 36 hours for leway that the next time the system is started, while the Windows logo is scrolling, it's writing completely destroying the drive in the background, then deletes itself... Is this possible, or I'm living in a dream world?

S'alright, it's looking like some fluky error, the same window came up on the second run, but sucessfully edited the files, no FEDIT errors this time... Must've been a fluke... Thanks...

Mine's an nForce 4 chipset... Yeah I removed the nForce 4 directories but I'v'e found that using the older drivers it works just fine... There's nothing besides the chipset that makes me think it's not working right... I grabbed my .7z packs from the OEM directory of my DVD rather than straight copying them from where I originally downloaded them to, but I figured they were the same anyways so it'd work... I AM running it from a multibot DVD, which means the drivers aren't located in the i386 directory anymore, they're in BPE1... Or this still wouldn't make a difference? Edit: I think I found it, looks like it didn't install the drivers right at all because the proper entries aren't in the txtetup.sif (No reference to nvata.sys for example) During the biuld process I did run into a problem where a white DOS command box popped up with a bunch of FEDIT errors.... That's probably it, but how does one fix that?

Funny, same sscenario here, I'm using a machine with two 36.7 gig raptors in a Stripped array... What mass storage device you using?

That's good news....here's a followup question: How hard is it to integrate both CD1 and CD2 onto an unattended DVD I'm making. CD1 is easy enough to put on there, but what about copying over the files from CD2? Do you have to sit back and HEX-edit anything, or can you just plain copy the directories over? Not hard at all, I did it... If you strip it down you can actually incoroporate both CDs into one.... Basically make a directory called "MCE", you'll have to locate the M, C and E keys on your keyboard and press them in sequence, once the directory is made insert CD1 into a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-RW, CD-RW, or any of those optical type drives that'll read compact discs, then locate your CD-ROM drive letter in my computer and begin copying the contents of CD1 to the root of that directory... Now the tricky part, once the copying of CD2 is done eject the optical drive and insert the next dsic, and begin copying its contents to the root of the same directory above... Upon completion you may remove the disc from the try and reinsert it into it's protective casing. That's it, there's your CD... That's almost exactly the way I pictured it in my head, only it didn't sound quite as condescending. Sorry, I was trying to make something simple complicated... You know, followign in Microsoft's footsteps......

I just integrated this into my AIO-DVD, but it doesn't appear to be liking the mass storage drivers much.... Now, bare in mind I've modified the Mass Storage driver pack to my specifications in order to allow te nForce chipset to function properly... And I'm using that same mass storage pack... Essentially I've removed the 4 nForce 4 directories and left the 123 directory and replaced the nvatabus.sys, nvraid.sys and the nvcchflt.sys files with the 6.58's to get them to work right... Now, when using your CD it DOES recognize the drives, but since they're in a RAID 0 array (Stripped) I can't see the contents, shows up as "Unrecognizable"... This normal for a stripped array?

Quick question.... You said this would work with other PE's.... I've got a PE on my end a friend of mine gave me, but I don't have the ability to rebuild it... I was wondering if you could tell me of a way I could incorporate these drivers into it without having to get the original build files... Assuming you know what I mean...

Suddenly occurs to me that this is probably going to require another, albeit small, redesign... Worth it though... **** if something isn't always forcing me to have to delaymy final release of that thing...

Sweeet... I use your UBCD for Win for diagnostic purposes on many computers... You guys kick a**... I've got it incorporated into my XP Solutions DVD....
