Hey GM, My raidcore card was replaced by another one that uses a brodcomm chipset on it so it has new raid drivers. Can you incorporate these into xpcreate? Please please very soon.... Thanks as always Brian driver.rar

Well, i have read some of the posts and have not seen a definite yes or no. I have intergrated sp2 into my windows cd, now i want to use xpcreate to have all of my files added to it IE $oem$ I386 and postinstall.... Messing around with it i believe it will work if you turn auto download updates off. Am i correct in this assumption? Thanks GM

Thanks i found it last night have not had a chance to test will let everyone know when i do.

Where does the serial number need to go?

Did you actually get one of the two methods to work. I can only get method 1, but i cant get the actual program to uninstall using this method and with method 2 it tells me invaled key, but i am using the same key that i used to install it normally.

Yes it is i however got several errors saying "Cannot copy "FILE NAME" Cannont find the specified file..... Any ideas why...

Starting to look more like a full fledged burp....

Anyone else getting these problems? Any ideas how to fix it gm. Thanks

Hey quick question. When i transfer my favorites over for some reason xplode capitalizes all of the entries. They are not capitalized on the source but they are on the destination. Here is my code. <copy source='%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\Every Thing Else\Favorites' target='%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\Brian A. Cox\Favorites' /> Any ideas how to make it copy the favorites over and not capitalize everyone of them when it does? Thanks B

How do you turn these two on by default? Thanks

Is it possible to use a & in xml?

Ok folks, well i suppose i did something stupid here. Figured i would post this for anyone that has problems deleting a shortcut. Come to find out the reason my shortcut would not delete was because it was a internet shortcut .url Internet Shortcut (Extension not visible) Not .lnk Gzzzzz i did not even think about that. Well enough is enough maybe this little bit of info can save someone some time HEVNBND

Hey guy, well i dont know if i did something to kill the sata support for my RaidCore board or if you did, but here is my xpcreate.log. It says it is adding it i think, but in the txtsetup.sif it is no where to be found. It was working in a previous version however. HELP Please... I am about to do a reinstall and got everything ready to go and was shot down I included several files that might help track down the prob. Thanks for your help. EDITED: GM if you have lost my drivers and need them. I put them on my public ftp at squareplanet.com anonomous login. Let me know what is up. By looking through some previous posts it looks like you took them out of xpcreate but i could be wrong... NEWFILES.rar

Ok here it is. Use any ftp client and log into anonomously: IP: squareplanet.com Please upload setup screens to the incoming folder. In a folder containing the name of your setup screens. Please upload each screen in its own folder and if you have a screenshot of the setup screen throw it in the folder. All approved uploads can be downloaded from the pub folder. Any questions let me know.

Ok i will set up an ftp site and some instructions for uploading and downloading and we will be good to go.

Well i gots a quick question. I have about 4 setup screens and i know that you guys have tons all combined. I was thinking about hosting a ftp site with all the setup screens if one does not exist. Then we could share our creative natures. What does everyone think?

1. I don't create my user account using xplode, but if i were to i would need this under items: - <item display="Adding users and groups..."> - <!-- note the different use of quotes due to the data held in them --> <addgroup groupname="Cowboy Bebop" comment="It's them bounty hunters!" /> <adduser username="Spike" password="swordfish" groups="Administrators "Cowboy Bebop"" fullname="Spike Spiegel" comment="Don't mess with the best!" /> <adduser username="Jet" password="hammerhead" groups=""Cowboy Bebop"" fullname="Jet Black" comment="When the Black Dog bites, he don't let go!" /> </item> 2. I am not sure about that one. 3. YES. Just put the switches in the arguments lines 4. YES that should work however with the correct directory structure $OEM$ should copy over automaticly. 5. yes, unless you have xplode delete $winnt$.inf as in my xplode.xml. Hope this helps.

That is way to big. Mine is 348MB.

Problem solved. Those hotfixes will not slipstream when you forget to install wmp9 DONT.....

Nope no nlite. Just a copy of MCE without the upgrade and language folders. I use a dvd i have no reason for making anything smaller.

You can erase the lang folder and the upgrade folders in your i386 directory. That will free up a lot of space.

Ok i have three hotfixes that wont work: KB828026 - Critical Update for WMP Script Commands 819639 - Flaw in WMP may allow media library access KB837272 - Update for WMP 9 Series Attached is my xpcreate log. Any ideas..... XPCREATE.zip

Here guy this should help. I use xpcreate for all my hotfixes and xplode for all my app installs. I start xplode using this command in my winnt.sif file [GuiRunOnce] "%systemdrive%\install\xplode\XPlode.exe /log:#SYSTEMDRIVE#\xplode.log" Attached is my xml code. Hope it helps. XPlode.xml

Here is what my xml is for deleting 3 quicken shortcuts: <item display='Quicken 2004' image="%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\images\Quicken.gif"> <execute display='Installing Quicken 2004...' program='%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\Applications\Quicken2004\DISK1\setup.exe' arguments='-s -f1"%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\Applications\Quicken2004\DISK1\setup.iss"' /> <delete source='%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\BEST FOR QUICKEN - LOW INTRO APR AND OPTIONAL TRAVEL REWARDS.lnk' /> <delete source='%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\VISIT QUICKEN.COM.lnk' /> <delete source='%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\SPECIAL OFFER FROM CITIBANK.lnk' /> </item> Here is my log for that section after it runs: Running item: 'Quicken 2004' { Running command: 'execute' { Command: execute, (2,0) Running: 'D:\PostInstall\Applications\Quicken2004\DISK1\setup.exe -s -f1"D:\PostInstall\Applications\Quicken2004\DISK1\setup.iss"' } Running command: 'delete' { Command: delete, (3,2) Deleting directory: 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\BEST FOR QUICKEN - LOW INTRO APR AND OPTIONAL TRAVEL REWARDS.lnk' File mask: '*.*' } Running command: 'delete' { Command: delete, (3,2) Deleting directory: 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\VISIT QUICKEN.COM.lnk' File mask: '*.*' } Running command: 'delete' { Command: delete, (3,2) Deleting directory: 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\SPECIAL OFFER FROM CITIBANK.lnk' File mask: '*.*' } I found it strang that xplode treated the files as directories and not files like my other delete file commands. Any ideas i think there in could lie the problem. Thanks Brian

<execute display='Stopping Diskeeper 8...' program='taskkill' arguments='/im dkservice.exe /f' /> Runs like a charm. Just in case someone needs it.
