haha. just released, and already wanna add it. lol. we'll see if there are any bugs. then post. It's never fun for the developer when alot of people test something each getting a different error. Then trying to track it down. It's just not cool. With a limited base at first, alot of error should be worked out early on, if any.

@edmoncu you shouldn't have any problems with adding mass storage devices. For best results, I suggest not to remove any drivers, but that will mean that the reduction won't nearly be as much. But more drivers, less chance of XP not having it by default, but then again, you'd just download updated ones anyway. You may want to run this program on a fresh source, with no alterations. then use it, THEN add the storage drivers.

you'd be surprised how often that does come up. Hasn't for awhile though, but it happens. I've been around for awhile. The Unattened section of the forum was pretty new when I joined. And I was lurking for awhile before that. Good ol' Black design for the site.....

possible translation? @nuhi Oh, I could tell you didn't take anyone's ideas. You're method is different from jdoebeck's. Therefore, no need to give credit. as for syssetup.inf, you do know it's signed right? but it might be a good file to look through to find INF files. Just an idea. Never really looked into it.

i'm going to say you have qchain.exe in your svcpack.inf file. I'm also going to guess that you downloaded it from the microsoft website. I'm then ALSO going to guess you didn't do a search. And yet another guess would be you didn't read the post that would come up if you did. If there is indeed a QCHAIN.EXE entry in your SVCPACK.INF, then in your current Windows install, double click the file, see if you get that dialog. If you do, select where you want to extract it. Inside THAT should be the proper QCHAIN.EXE

by based, I meant the idea and the method of removal. By getting the file list, and blank it in the INF and then removing from TXTSETUP.SIF and DOSNET.INF. Looks like the same general concept, only you get the file list dynamically, while his is hardcode copied from the original INF.

by toolbar... are you talking about the one at the top of Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer? if so..... they're at HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar","{710EB7A1-45ED-11D0-924A-0020AFC7AC4D"HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar","{1E796980-9CC5-11D1-A83F-00C04FC99D61"HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\Explorer","ITBarLayout"HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\ShellBrowser","{01E04581-4EEE-11D0-BFE9-00AA005B4383}"HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\ShellBrowser","ITBarLayout"HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser","{01E04581-4EEE-11D0-BFE9-00AA005B4383}"HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser","{0E5CBF21-D15F-11D0-8301-00AA005B4383}"HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser","ITBarLayout"sure hope you can read INF. Set your toolbars like you want them, then export those keys.

i think I know what the problem is..... Which would be why my image works, and your's doesn't. And before I make a further test, for it to work with the this....on a normal disk.... change /L:Don MSCDEX.EXE line, to /L:MThe problem is. I'm betting that when you first run it, you either have a NTFS partition, or no partition at all. This would then make the RAMDRIVE if it's loading C, and the CDROM D. If you call OEMSETUP, it sets a setting on the partition IT creates that it started from drive D. But when it creates the partition and restarts, RAMDRIVE is now D, and the CDROM is E. And since this is old school DOS technology, OEMSETUP doesn't know to update the drive it's using. Stupid piece of junk. So by changing the line above, the CDROM will be assigned M even if there are no more drives below it, or if you have drives up to N. Just as a note, you should not have to use THIS method or have a trouble if we had just been lazy and used SETUP.EXE instead of OEMSETUP.EXE and format with FDISK. lol. YEAH LAZINESS!!

just curious on the removing, did you base it off jdoebeck's batches, or is it truly parsing through the INFs in I386 for setup files? You said you use an INF file list, is that the list of INFs you search through? or is it dynamically created? Great work though. Looks quite impressive.

hmmmm i would actually like people to customize it. And perhaps find out why it didn't work. I'll download a normal Win98 bootdisk from bootdisk.com and try to perform the same thing. I'll probally run into the same problem.

fix your paths? i mean seriously, what does logic suggest? My paths are wrong, so the program doesn't work. What should I do? But wait, I won't know what to use instead of #Systemdrive#, maybe I should read the documentation? I like the Sourcedrive variable myself, but I don't know if that was put in in XPInstall or XPlode. Which is yet another reason you shouldn't use outdated software (by outdated, i mean by more then 3 versions) and once again, use common logic, and RTFM Key remove

please don't repost. I already moved it. I've made a few, but luckily, someone pointed it out to me.

why aren't you posting in the XPCreate forum? especially since this is a XPCreate question. Topic Move

MSCDEX.EXE is inside your EBD.CAB file. try extracting it from there, then add it to the image. I'll upload my image later, as it's taken directly from a Microsoft disk

i did say upload SOMEWHERE try finding that file, www.bootdisk.com might have it. May need to download a disk, but meh. If you do download a disk from there, start from scratch with it. that one file might fix your problem. But i dunno how you lost it.

ooooh... sounds fun. I'll might try this later on tonight. After I buy some more parts of course

are you pressing one on the numpad or the keyboard? if the numpad, is NUMLOCK on? is PRO1.DAT in the same folder as CDShell? if so, try removing the leading / from it. If not, and it's in root of your structure such then it's \ Dunno what else to tell you. Screenshot maybe? Sounds like a error in the CDShell file, as if there was one in PRO1.DAT it would restart or display something I think.

they're in the original, it just be a thing with 98 that looks for tag files, like NT 's do. Just maybe....dunno.... it's not finding FINDCD.EXE I'm not sure why though. It's in the image, unless you have two completely different ones, or you don't have MSCDEX.EXE (I don't see MSCDEX.EXE inyour image file btw) could you maybe upload your IMG file somewhere?....

you would need a username and password if the current use didn't ahve permission to install programs. However, most Office problems I've seen, have been caused by a copy of over of Office. So it might be easier to start from scratch. Maybe one or two hidden files weren't copied or something. as for variables, in the documentation somwhere.... %XPlode% - Returns the Drive letter and path to where XPlode is running. So perhaps C:\Install, or D:\$OEM$\Unattend %SourceDrive% - Just the drive letter WINDOWS is installing from.

add the PAUSE lines, and the ECHO take a screenshot, post it. Also, your archive doesn't help all that much. The 98 directory structure really does not matter. You could try adding README.TXT ; AUTORUN.INF ; and SETUP.EXE to the root of your structure (along side your CDShell folder). I'll post a link to my 98 image later, then use the exact same file/folder structure is in the first post, no changing names for you to test with.
